Column One
Cindy, Loraine & Hank (2lp)
This album from the legendary Berlin-based art collective Column One was in the works for almost 10 years and is their first album since the anniversary box set 'No One' from 2011 and the 'Antiphona' 10-inch vinyl EP from 2013. Many fragments, materials and ideas created during the collaboration with the Berlin Zeitkratzer Ensemble (2012) remained unfinished or underdeveloped. After years of further recordings and reviewing the existing material and the destruction of useless bubbles arises with 'Cindy, Loraine & Hank' a bulky muscleman from the splinters of classical instrumentation, electro-acoustic manipulations and assemblages, and the clarity of field recordings. This double album presents Column One's experimental approach at its best. The two LP's are housed in a luxury gatefold sleeve and the first edition is limited to 300 units.
