After quite some silence here come two unheard tracks by the mysterious German duo Cranioclast. In keeping with the spirit of the 10” travel document series, issued by the krev ministry of detours, Cranioclast provide two rhythmic tracks in the form of cocktail recipes. Side 1 utilizes a crazed out beatbox sound and intermingles the beat patterns with all kinds of noise and tape splicings. Woven in with this active soundscape is Cranioclast’s signature sound – distant voices. This time the human factor creeps in in the form of a small child babbling away. Side 2 is denser and not so overtly rhythmic – there is much brooding under the surface going on.
