Rat Tapes One
* 2021 Stock * With 18 untitled tracks, there’s no shortage of the mutant voices and clanks from the darkness that I’ve come to expect. However, I was most surprised by the amount of rhythmic material found here, especially on the second half of the disc. “Track 10” could very well be a backing track left over from the Rock and Roll Sessions. Strangely enough, “Track 12” is a techno song with little of the Nurse With Wound signature other than some operatic elements and the oblique, gaping maw o…

Minuits Pour Géants / On The Edge Of The Outside
Tristan Tzara (1896-1963) is the poet through whom Dada arrived. In Zurich, he animated the Cabaret Voltaire with Hugo Ball; in Paris, he then inspired some surrealists in the making. If he was a great lover of Villon and Rabelais, his poetry is as iconoclastic as the music of Nurse With Wound, who composed for this edition of Minuits pour géants an unpublished piece lasting about ten minutes: On the Edge of the Outside. Writer, poet and essayist of Romanian origin, Tristan Tzara (Samuel Rosenst…

Described by Sounds at the time as a record that "makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel," nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 40 years, and to say that this work is the "Sgt. Pepper of the avant-garde" would not be an hyperbole."The album came about when Steven Stapleton was working as a signwriter in London in 1978. Completing a job at an indepe…
