about

Sound made for the Galactic Hacker Party, 1989, in Paradiso, Amsterdam (excerpts). Commissioned by Caroline Nevejan. Recorded direct from tape. Some mixes were later released on a compilation cassette entitled 'No Tunafish On Neptune'.

NIEUWE NOTEN:
In het eerste deel hoor je klanknevels, maar dan wel aangevuld met space-achtige geluiden en andere creatieve vondsten. En het tekent Banabila, en natuurlijk ook Cramer al kende ik zijn muziek nog niet, dat dit album geenszins gedateerd klinkt, al zijn de opnames al ruim dertig jaar oud. Het tweede en derde deel klinken wat abstracter, meer ingetogen ook en kennen een prachtige, vederlichte, enigszins esoterische klank. Dat esoterische geldt ook voor het vierde deel, alleen wijkt dit wat af van de twee voorgaande delen door het vrij langzame, maar onmiskenbaar repetitieve patroon. Al met al een mooi album, verstandig dat de heren de muziek op deze wijze weer toegankelijk hebben gemaakt. (Ben Taffijn)

A unique atmospheric album with a sense of humor and a lot of melancholy. I do not know if you can call this ambient.. but I don't know any other record like this Michel Banabila
