ACHWGHA NEY WODEI - VINYL ACHWGHA NEY WODEI [VINYL]

Popis - ACHWGHA NEY WODEI [VINYL]:
Achwghâ Ney Wodei's saga starts in 1983 when members François Boitière, Didier 'Higgins' Copp, Eric 'Riton' Sterenfeld and Phillippe 'Wodi' Royer create their own peculiar genre: Razz! Influenced by the likes of Jacques Tati, Blurt, Neu!, Les Frères Jacques, Captain Beefheart, Tex Avery soundtracks, French working class chanson and music hall, Razz! is an unpredictable sound mass, a comedic blend of oddworldly jazz-funk, repetitive motives, binary syncopated rhythms and narrative voices. Continuously exploring new ways to express ANW's vision, they expanded their sonic spectrum with concrete sounds. Crushed glass, toys, broken violins, metal tubes... were used and the sound palet was widened even further with the addition of non-European instruments such as the Balinese gambang, Trinidadian steel drums and the Malian balafon. ANW's self titled cassette from 1986 remains an important statement of musical and artistic freedom. It's also worth mentioning that the original masters were long gone. The tracks were transferred from an original tape and then mastered. Any strange noises or trembling sounds shouldn't be blamed on the vinyl. One last thing, the cover is handmade in true ANW fashion! Several techniques were used, ranging from stencil and silkscreen printing to licked and postmarked stamps. All 300 copies are unique.
