Of you never heard of Mr. Schmuck's Farm, but it's the collaboration between Hildur Gudnadottir (who she?) and Dirk Dresselhaus of Schneider TM. They met in Berlin, decided to hook up and on three different occasions the three tracks now on 'Good Sound' were recorded. Hildur plays cello, saw, accordion, zither, pearl-chain and fender twin reverb and Schneider plays the same reverb, kaoss pad, vermona retroverb, memory man deluxe, eq's, doepfer unit and a spring reverb. Lots of black boxes on his side of the room. The CD opens with 'Not All Crows Are Black', which is a rather scrapy piece of stringed sounds, played in a very free improvised way, but doesn't make much impression. Unlike 'Don't Give Up, What Is Death?', the next track which is an absolute beauty of highly vibrant drone music. It's over thirty minutes long and could have been a great CD by just itself. The final track is 'My Favourite Caucus Airchamber', which I believe was recorded first, and which is again, like the first piece, a bit of an unfocussed improvisation thing. Two people playing together with noting the other. Both of these pieces are brief, but it's the second one that makes the entire CD. Vital Weekly
