Editorial Reviews
XLR8R
"Intensely minimal, yet strangely scattered microelectronics that put cracked, fragmented shards of rather loud noise on display."

Product Description
Get your headphones ready as Germany’s Kptmichigan once again shatters musical boundaries on his self-titled third full-length, undertaking a diverse and exploratory approach similar in nature to fellow guitarists Thurston Moore and Christian Fennesz combined with a restored faith in rock’n’roll. The initial plan was to make a modern folk album; however, ideas evolved and the album became more infused with elements of noise, rock and psychedelic music (think Syd Barret), showcasing Kptmichigan’s love for guitar and Fender super reverb. He became influenced by the short, high-energy rock’n’roll songs of his other band, Beautiful New Born Children, as well as old Jamaican ska, reggae & dub, very early folk & bluegrass, and even some African music. He also cites the noise of such artists as Jimi Hendrix, The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine as major influences in the creation of this release.

This is Kptmichigan’s most personal release to date, containing lyrics throughout, contributions from friends (including Schneider TM) and various field recordings made in and around his house (on "Sunmask," for example, he mic’d the waterfall in front of his house). Kptmichigan would fit well in one’s musical library somewhere between The Animal Collective, Manitoba and Merzbow.

Amazing German techno!.......2004-03-19

I love this EP for "The Light 3000" which is an amazing techno version of the Smiths' "There is a Light That Never Goes Out"!
