Machinefabriek

Daas

Label: Cold Spring Records Country: UK

Cold Spring Records presents an album from Dutch experimenter Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). The tracks on Daas have been carefully picked to form a provoking, haunting journey. What the tracks have in common is a sense of nostalgic graininess. As with the music of Philip Jeck, The Caretaker or William Basinski, these tracks are full of degrading melodies and dusty ambience.

"Daas" is the previously-unreleased opening track of the album, and features contributions by the great Richard Skelton. This track was made as a reaction to the piece "Koploop." "Flotter," "Koploop" and "Grom" were previously available on small run self-released 3" CD-Rs. Sold out for some time now, these tracks deserved a wider audience. These three long tracks also seem to come from the same galaxy, making perfect sense when put together. "Onkruid" was a track previously-released on a A Room Forever 12", as an expensive and extremely limited 12" boxed set, now brought to a wider audience.
