Keyboard/electronics player for the Shadow Ring, Tim Goss. If I'd've had to guess what post-Shadow projects would sound like, it wouldn't be what Lambkin's actually done, but more like this. Goss frumps about on some synths & intones doom-filled words in a spectacularly cheerless, beetle-browed accent. There's even a dreary-minded lady assistant who reads a few lines. Recorded slightly hot & then turned way down, to give it just a dash of overdriven edge. Lots of leslie-speaker purr, bells, & quiet beeps underline the mounds of hopelessness.
Freiband is the latest project by Frans de Waard, also founding member of Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem aswell as solo projects such as Shifts and Quest. Frans de Waard has been producing music since the mid 80s, firstly on cassettes in the 80s and then on LPs and CD's after that. Freiband was inspired by the tape-scratching of Asmus Tietchens on his CD 'Daseinsverfehlung', but here applied to an entirely digital context. Using recordings that were made for the new Beequeen, a record that has a lot of guitars, drums, organs, Frans de Waard started to rework them by scratching the hard-disc.
Paris Riots are an instrumental ambient post rock trio from England. They mix the epic post sounds of Sigur Ros and This Will Destroy You with the more frantic and fast paced elements of bands such as 65daysofstatic. The band formed in early 2007. Brothers Sam and David Butler along with Brett Wright make up the band. Paris Riots released their self titled debut EP early in summer 2008 recording at Moonbase Studios.
