Spent more time yesterday than I possibly should have piecing together a playlist out of my Neu!, Harmonia and Michael Rother albums, in preparation for tomorrow’s London show by Hallogallo 2010. Anyone seen them yet? I’d be interested to hear your reports if you have.
How to find a way through the arcane catalogue of the Sun City Girls? Last time I tried to count, there seemed to be around 60-odd releases, mostly rare as hen’s teeth, compounding the mythology of the band as among the most challenging and elusive of the past 20 or 30 years. Now, some three years after the death of Charles Gocher, there’s one last unexpected SCG album, and with characteristically perverse logic, expert word is that it may be their most accessible.
