'beat it / beat off'
3"CDR on Black Petal (#13)

6 piece improv slop from brisbane featuring mr joel stern and members of such classic brisbane groups as the perfect lovers, no guru and faber castell. apparently born from the mantra of 'everybody solos, nobody solos'; this sounds more like 'everybody is on the one, nobody is on the one'. 3" cdr with handmade covers. close to sold out.

VITAL WEEKLY 605

Something of an entirely different nature are The Impromptulons, a bigger group with Joel Stern, Will Charlton, Alan Nguyen, Rin Healy, Marek Rygalski and Adam Park (Peter was absent it says on the cover). 'Everybody solos, nobody solos' is the starting point of this work. They all play just for themselves it seems, while nobody seems to be responding or reacting to the other. It bangs on and on, but the lo-fi recording quality prevents this from being a real loud stomper though. Highly minimal in approach this one, and also oddly fascinating. Minimal, without becoming a drone, like the Velvet Underground not becoming rock. Highly appealing recording. (FdW)
