What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Type release the 3rd 7" in their series of however many there are of them. This one is by Machinefabriek and it's called Lentiliedjes. Ask me what it means.... I dare you..... It's all bit lovely this....8 mini segements of electronic avant wonder. It's like a soundtrack album... only very short and on 7"..... There's lots of  atomosphere,  twinkle, parpy, woosh, noodle and bleep on here...... Noice!

What the label says:

Rutger Zuydervelt never stops making music, even in his sleep he has a monitor set up at all times to record his brain responses and synthesize tones of feedback, distorted wails and manic beatplay. He has released a whole bunch of gloriously obscure 3” cdrs by himself and has just dropped an incredible full length on the Lampse label entitled ‘Marijn’, and his head is still overflowing with ideas. So it’s hardly surprising then that we’ve managed to skim off the cream of the man’s recording output for a special exclusive release. And not just any old release either, we asked him to put together a 7” and instead of opting for the old classic of one track per side, he instead coughed up eight one minute tracks; a selection of love songs for the Springtime. Odd? Definitely, this micro album holds within it more ideas than most artists manage to belch out over eight albums, let alone a handful of tracks!

‘Er op Uit’ starts things off with some gorgeous melodica tinkering before ‘Dansen met groene groenten’ gets us truly into the spirit of Machinefabriek. Taking cues from Delia Derbyshire (most notably the Radiophonic Workshop dances for children records) this is a crackly ode to all things good in the world. More evidence of this can be found by flipping the record over; the hand-clap led ‘Blij Blij Blij’ which could have been made to fit alongside any number of 1970s childrens tv shows. Eventually we reach the album’s longest track (almost 2 minutes) ‘Fiets en Langs de Dijk’; a slice of electronic music in it’s most live form, a gorgeous floating synth melody played over looping toy drum machine sounds. It is electronica somehow, but is as punk rock as it gets. Machinefabriek puts the love back into electronic music, so let’s put our hands together and show him some respect!

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
