I don`t remember
where I got this album. It was lying on my huge, ever expanding, to listen pile.
Bodycocktail is Zan Hoffman`s band since 1993. Since 2012 they
released 177 albums, you do the math here. This came out in 2009 on ZH27
(this is the name for Zan`s record label). He started his label in 1984
and since then, he released 336 albums. He is an extremely prolific individual.
This is my first Bodycocktail listening experience (10 songs = 32
minutes). It`s not what I was expecting, I`m impressed. This is a mix of rock /
new wave i.e. bent-out-of-shape proto new wave. Imagine a jam session between
the following unlikely participants; Eric`s Trip (lo-fi wholesomeness),
The Vaselines (subtle pop sensibility) and Suicide (minimal
orchestrations). My favorite songs are:
1 – Pass
through flame (3.52 minutes) = melancholic (don`t think gothic), minimal,
nearly new wave.
2 – Darkness or
fraud (3.29 minutes) = lo-fi, slightly psychedelic lil pop
number.
9 – Peace
tock (2.22 minutes) = a schizoid / schizophrenic, out there, proto new wave
/ pop song. I like it I like it I like it! Freebies here: https://archive.org/details/zh27
