Négligé – Electronic Underwear – prenatal inferno (CD)




This one was lying on my pile of stuff to review (which is always getting bigger). Négligé - electronic Underwear are a German experimental synth project based in Munich. The lineup on this album features Gunther Schroth, Karl F Gerber and Wolfgang Foag. They used various synthesizers, percussion computer, breath controller, samplers, and sequencers. This is indeed a strange recording. The music goes into various directions: non-linear electronic music, light noise + minimal electronics, synth + percussive moments / elements, lo-fi noise experimentations, minimal, but still highly experimental electronic music. What I found particularly impressive the whole album was recorded live without overdubs. It doesn`t sound improvised at all. The music sounds like old Cluster mixed with The Forbidden Planet soundtrack.  A nice and long album (9 tracks = 64.15 minutes), released in 1991 on Archegon.More information here: http://www.archegon.de/ARCHEGON/archegon.html
