Title:  Flowers You Can Eat Artist:  Hotelgaste Label:  Schraum Format:  CD Price:  € 12.40   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
Cool. These guys make use of guitar, bass, Clarinet, alt-saxophone, and zither to create a dreamy textured semi-minimal dabble into madness. This sounds like freeform improvisation, but it has a denser and more serious feel than most bands of their ilk. It's all still very abstract and unstructured, but there is an underlying tone here which is a bit gloomy. I kind of picture a dark foggy haunted lighthouse when I listen to this. I find this CD very interesting to explore with the eyes closed and the mind wide open. This sound conjures. To be able to do that off the cuff is a pretty tall demand. It is pretty impressive when a band succeeds. This band succeeds. That's why Hotelgaste keeps my attention when many other improvisation groups only keep me for 1-2 listens.
