Oops, missing image. Sorry about that Sideshow
"Interference (Radio Edit)"

(DENMARK) Sideshow is the sideshow of guitarist Rasmus Holmboe, former member of the bands Wild Evil Entertainment Dept., On Trial and Strömning. It is a guitarist with no guitar. Feedback but no noise. Acousmatic but no acoustics. Conception in the absence of rules. Beyond recognition but coherent. In smpte but out of time. Heresy without believers. And a lovely old space-echo-machine.

Oops, missing image. Sorry about that Neueregene
"Ex Libris"

(DENMARK) Neueregene started out fascinated by the minimalist composers of NYC, but also draws on inspiration of earlier and later composers/musicians, and from most of the world. The key elements in the music are colour and rhythm; structured to the smallest detail, or in floating nonstructured forms, created from the basis belief, that everything IS possible in music. Nothing too fast - nothing too slow. Nothing too high - nothing too low.

"Pig"

(DENMARK) Ear & Dark plays manic no wave pop. The music extends itself from Ear & Dark's craving for excessive sonic bursts. Naivistic nursery rhymes to primate screams mold the shape of the songs. The improvisational edge is caught on tape and presented on this song, which is taken from the 7-inch 'I am shy, Betty', released by Black light records.

Driven by progressive sounds and ideas, and a need to make a difference, pushing the music in new directions. Montreal Mirror says: 'In a single line, he'll sound as political as Noam Chomsky, as dirty as 2 Live Crew and as emotionally fragile as a young girl's diary entry.'

With the nose of Ringo Starr, hair of Laurie Anderson, voice of Vito Corleone and hands of Aphex Twin, 9 enchants with unusual and harmonic songs. The circle that 9 draws within music opens with an harmonious voice and closes with the touching and tickling warm side of synths in a mix of Beatles-like songwriting and delicate electronics.

And Signe thought the same thing because apparently these girls often think the same thing. That's when they put on their wigs and started singing.

(USA/GERMANY) Big Daddy Mugglestone, famed occultist and travel writer, began his career at the tender age of 5 when he first came into contact with the so-called 'spiritual world' at his aunt's house outside of Anorvalestian, Colorado. He heard a voice telling him to seek out only the most pure souls to construct a bridge across the mirror that separates us from the recognition of a complete self. He started to sing to drown out that noise, and it still works.

This is Hansn mainly on his own with a few friends to help out. And when they do help out the line-up is not necessarily always the same, but operating under a different name each time - chosen from titles of the Sherlock Holmes murder mysteries.

He also answers questions about what was going on during the Monsters of Rock festival back in '86. Jorrit is more of the pimp here to freak out the world and always needs more distortion and then brings home the bacon.
