Label: Krim Kram

当店では自主出版音源を中心に、英Chocolate MonkやCoherent Statesからのカセット音源も紹介、DIYフリーミュージックムーブメントとして80年代初期に誕生したLAFMSならぬBUFMS系のユニットBren't Lewiis Ensembleの2024年新タイトル。本作は2019年から2021年までにそれぞれ25枚の極小エディションでリリースした3インチCDRを編集し纏め上げた非常にオイシイ一枚。ミュージックコンクレート、モノローグ、サウンドコラージュ、演劇と、もはや実体が存在しないユニーク音楽の宝庫。





Rounding out the first twenty releases on the label, right back where we started, Krim Kram HQ all-time favs, the inimitable Bren't Lewiis Ensemble. Dumb Tangerine Dream collects four 3" CDRs originally released during those apocalyptic years of 2019 to 2021 in micro editions of 25 copies each. No longer only available to the die-hard freaks and doomsday cultists, now ripe for the masses.

Dumb Tangerine Dream presents a somewhat different side to the group from that of Hand Signals, consisting of four extended space-y improvisations, but still served with plenty of their trademark burble and squeak. Or, in their own words, "extended snart-scapes where loops, distressed scroichles, outsider guitar improv, and electronic pasta (al dente) converge in the back of the bus, with the animals and prisoners".

Also includes two double-sided inserts reproducing artwork from the original releases by Michael Morley, Shalimar Fox, Id M Theft Able, and Lacie Pound.
