V.A. - MARTIN ARNOLD 'ALONE, LIFE WASTES ANDY HARDY' (CD)

Feat. Fennesz, Anderegg, Akira Rabelais, n/a, A Silent Partner, Pimmon and Steve Roden. "An interesting remix set in that the source material is the sound-track to Martin Arnold's most recently completed film Alone, Life Wastes Andy Hardy (1998), which is itself a 15 minute 'remix' of short segments from three Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney screen-trysts, tiny bi-directional loops of natural frame-motion which repeat for minutes on end, very glitch indeed. Fitting that Fennesz, Anderegg, Akira Rabelais, N/A, A Silent Partner, Pimmon, Steve Roden were all chosen, set to task on disassembling these seemingly endless (re)iterations. Outcome ranges from grainy digital drone-gloss (lovely Anderegg track) to micro-concrete renderings (Fennesz). Sorted and aware." (Hrvatski)
