Robert Wallace Look I know if you like Berlin School then the Kings will always be TD but honestly Kubusschnitt pushes them very close to being the perfect replacement. This album is an outstanding tribute to the Kings. Favorite track: Short Excursion.

about

This album represents the distillation of over five hours of live-recorded improvisations and rehearsals for the Kubusschnitt gig at the 9th Alfa Centauri Festival on 16th March 2002. This deserves more than to simply be the rehearsals for that gig, rather it is a set of live sessions at Ruud’s studio in Utrecht, hence the name.

There was a lot of playing and whilst this could easily contain the complete five hours, it has been brought down to the very best sections. Having said that, and especially as this was all recorded straight to stereo with live mixing, there are some dodgy/mistimed notes and patches of distortion. However, given that, the quality is remarkably good and only needed minimal tidying up.

There are tracks on here that were played at Alfa Centauri and Exeter, some tracks that were played at both and some tracks that have never seen the light of day. The track naming is much more unusual and close examination (combined with using your ears) should work well. More extensive thoughts and comments will appear on the Kubusschnitt blog.

Now, sit back and enjoy two hours and fifteen minutes of live music. Even if you just stream it, still enjoy it.

The new artwork is by Tom Coppens.
