adolf noise
random notes
Unknown source, via Marc De Bruyn (emdebe@village.uunet.be):
This EP is a spacy but fun mix of texts, music and everyday sounds. The
first track opens with a early Zappa quotation ('Duke of Prunes'), moving into a
fractured beat, with indigenous sounding flute and spoken voice. The second
begins with a quiet upbeat pop song, over which is laid a German speaking voice,
as the song gradually increases in volume and fades with bird songs and resonant
tones arrive and fade... cheesy organ... You get the idea! Compositions include
'40 Kaninchen', 'Five N.', 'Cpt. Gunnerson', 'Rousing '95', 'Busum', 'Heissen Sie?',
'Plus 1 = act', and 'Sachen, die Dich Machen Lassen Omh'.

Adolf Noise his music is not what his name tells. A
contrary his music can be described as psychedelic guitar-music,
alternative-music, ambient, ... Infact there is not any style to classify this
CD in. Because this CD exist of songs who are all so different and are worked
out around a theme. Spread over 8 songs we find a song which is inspired by
Frank Zappa mixed with all kind of other influences and text-fragments, the
result is a psychedelic song called '40 Kaninchen'. Some other strange songs are
spoken-word alike songs with text-fragments from Hermann Hesse and other
experimental texts. There are also sound-documents of a man going to the toilet
in the middle of the night. And much more other songs and documents and
experimental mixing with sounds and styles. You name it or you find it on this
CD. This CD surprised us a lot and will be apreciated because of its complete
concept which is brilliant. The CD-cover contains great graphics.

DJ Koze is not only a top notch-dj and remixer, but also
part of one of germany's most successful hiphop-outfits, FISCHMOB. his solo
project ADOLF NOISE is a weird but very appealing example for instrumental
electronic music bathing somewhere in between dub, ambient moods and film noire.
the album "wunden s., beine offen" has cult status way beyond germany
ever since its first release...hey, don't worry...germans don't understand what
the album title means either :-)
