WORKSHOP - ES LIEBT DICH UND DEINE KÖRPERLICHKEIT (CD)

"Workshop's record, "Es liebt Dich und Deine Koerperlichkeit ein Ausgeflippter", is mysterious, deep, wandering, folksy music, played on a basketwork base of freely-flowing guitars, with dreamy, slightly absurd and pointed lyrics in German. Kai Althoff seems to stand to the Sonig label as Vincent Gallo does to Warp. They both break with the house styles of the cult labels who release them, apparently returning to something much more traditional. But they fit because they're charismatic cults in their own right."
