Finally from me is a CD by Eli Keszler from Israeli Something On The Road label. It's a 3" CD called Clermont and it comes in a dinky 3" nipple pack sleeve thing. Anything at all to get the word nipple in. Anything. This is dark chimey piece of music with bells, cymbals and tinkles..... very atmospheric sounding... reminds me a bit of Murcof without the beats at times. Something like that anyway. Actually it's quite a lot like How To Destroy Angels by Coil. 50 copies only, all hand numbered. Think of the work involved in writing that many numbers. It beggars belief... well tasty!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
