STARFUCKERS - Ordine '91-'96 :
first review on BLOW UP Mag [#144, May 2010]
/////////////////////////////////////////////
STARFUCKERS - Ordine '91-'96 - CD - Sometimes Records - 16t - 68:44
Ordine/disordine. Non ho mai avuto dubbi che tutta la parabola degli Starfuckers vertesse su questo dualismo, e che dalla tensione dei due estremi sia nata quella che è (stata?) la musica 'rock' più avventurosa prodotta in Italia nell'ultimo ventennio. D'altra parte sappiamo bene che l'opposto dell'amore non è certo l'odio, ma l'indifferenza, e quindi che il disordine evocato dai suoni poggiava su una forte fascinazione per il proprio speculare, in uno spasmo teso a sortire, dalla con/fusione degli stili, una nuova forma di ordine, piuttosto che la sua negazione...
Ecco quindi - e finalmente! - questo CD della Sometimes che fa ordine nel quinquennio discografico di riferimento della band bolognese mettendo in fila i sei pezzi del mini LP "Brodo di cagne strategico" (Electric Eye 1991, stampato su CD per la prima volta), una traccia comparsa nel CD allegato alla rivista Bananafish # 11 (la cover di Dear Prudence dei Beatles), un'altra tratta dalla compilation "Comin' Down Fast" del '93 (Mechanical Man di Charles Manson), i sette pezzi dall'album "Sinistri" (Underground Records 1994) e l'inedita "Quattro studi (su un'intervista) parte I".
Tutti i pezzi sono stati rimasterizzati da Giuseppe Ielasi, e questa è la prima garanzia. Gli Starfuckers sono sempre stati uan band politica, anzi meglio ideologica, di quelle capaci di cercare (e trovare) cocciutamente un senso nello sfaldamento del senso, e un suono nel suo (improponibile) opponibile, il silenzio. Non c'è nulla delle operazioni chirurgiche milesdavisiane a cui allude il titolo nell'ossessionato, ripetitivo, stoogesiano fino al midollo "Brodo di cagne strategico" - "Bitches Brew" - se non la strategia: quel sax che sfregola e gira, quelle pause che restano sospese, quei caotici interrogativi frammenti, quelle parole tinte d'autunnali, liberatori cori settantasettini ("alza il volume / ascolta il rumore"). A metà strada, le due cover stravolte e travolgenti indicano già la strada: Dear Prudence è tale solo di nome, è cantata/tradotta in italiano ed è trafitta da un coacervo di disturbi elettronici, Mechanical man è un carrarmato che oggi attribuireste ai Sightings. Con l'ingresso di Alessandro Bocci all'elettronica, la perdita di mezza band per strada e il raggrumarsi del suono intorno al trio Giannini-Bertacchini-Bocci la volenterosa, fresca, ingenua operosità degli esordi lascia spazio al suono minaccioso e apocalittico di "Sinistri", album capitale per la musica offside redatta in italiano. Dai proclami si passa direttamente al primo piano quinquennale senza aver quantificato la rivoluzione e men che meno averne santificata la stabilità. Solo ricerca permanente come unico magnifico ultimo rantolo (Ordine Pubblico) a tenere alta la bandiera di un rock che si sfascia (Derivazione/Attesa), si dilata (Mutilati), si libera (251.Infinito), si lascia penetrare dall'espe rimento (Zentropia) e diventa esso stesso puro esperimento (Macrofonie Ia). Dopo questo disco troppo avanti nei tempi arrivo il lunare "Infrantumi" (con cui l'inedita Quattro studi (su un'intervista) parte I pare l'esatto anello di congiunzione), un buco nero la cui forza gravitazionale gli Starfuckers non riuscirono più ad eludere se non rinunciando a se stessi e, con l'ingresso di Dino Bramanti, rinominarsi Sinistri continuando ad incidere bene pur se in eccesso di attenzione per il proprio ombelico. Negli ultimi tempi, dopo la morte di Bramanti, i tre Starfuckers si sono ricomposti e hanno già suonato dal vivo; aspettiamo un altro disco che, ci auguriamo, non mancherà di riportare alle migliori cronache questi "figli di Dio, non mostri" facendo loro ritrovare il senso di quell'ordine su cui, magari non volendo, hanno speso una vita.

SOHO WHAT - The First Impression Last
[SR_o3]
CD | Ltd 3oo copies
This crazy new project is the brainchild of Rudi Van Mad, cult figure of the well known exp-collective called Larsen Lombriki.
This debut album plays w/ genres - with huge attitude and very little respect for musical integralism. Ranging from Pop music ---> to less FM-oriented things [Snakefinger, Swell Maps, The Fall, Neu and The Residents] in a sort of bizarre work-in-progress. 1o great songs of un-classificable stuff, combining a "free form" approach to more structured parts in sort of dada weird-wave. The review that Julian Cope wrote _on his site Head Heritage_ about a promo copy of this record, said: "Singular in a very Electro-Buzzsaw manner is THE FIRST IMPRESSION LAST by Soho What, whose catchy bastard post-punk toons blaze along Chrome-esque shock corridors into intertwining cul de sacs of 39 Clocks- and Metal Urbain-isms, while Transatlantic Faust-style lead vocals conjure up Electric Manchakou sub-sub-French Detroitisms, know wharramean? Imagine A Certain Ratio’s classic ‘All Night Party’ 45 performed over a rhythm of Devo’s ‘Satisfaction’, or maybe the autobahn’n’ice-rink motorik of the Stones’ ‘Shattered’ and yooz reaching the Soho What pleasure centre. Top marks, however, go to the snarling epic ‘She Said’, with its snidey Howard Devoto-meets-Barney Albrecht matter-of-fact vocal and hectic HALF MACHINE LIP MOVES-style Cleveland No Wave machine gun riffing. Hailing from Italy, Soho What is run by one Rodolfo Borsella, who has very little presence on the ‘worldwide’, but – for his classy hybrid of Cleveland, No York, De Twat and London – really should be searched by those interested souls".
Not to be missed.

STARFUCKERS - Ordine '91-'96
[SR_o2]
CD | Ltd 5oo copies
No need to tell much about Starfuckers. This essential band from Bologna is one of our favorites from the teenage days, and that's why we're really honoured to have them on our label. This CD is something we dreamt from years: it gathers Their 1991's long time deleted mini-lp BRODO DI CAGNE STRATEGICO [now on CD for the very first time] plus the album SINISTRI (maybe their masterpiece) - originally released in 1994 on Underground Records. And again : 2 songs taken from 2 comps + 1 unreleased one.
'91/'96 was possibly the best Starfuckers phase.
After the primal post-Stooges noise in the late '8os, They created their own way for noise rock in Italy [in the early 9o's, Bologna also spawned Massimo Volume and Splatterpink, just to name a couple] taking inspiration from NY no wave + noise rock, but keeping their own attitude and personality. After that, they choosed to follow even more radical paths and the result was an exciting form of noise/experimental Muzik that also paid its tribute to '9oo avant-garde (Maderna, Cage, Xenakis), altought it seemed to have the only aim of killing its own ego until a sort of rock'n'roll tabula rasa. It's all here, in these 16 historical trx. Everything is been remastered by Giuseppe Ielasi, and, in our opinion he did a great work - songs details are much more focused now, but respecting the initial spirit / sound.
And after a while, They'll be touring Italy again, soon.

RUTH VELN KISS
I was 21 Yrs old and now no more
[SR _ o1 / handw001 ]
CD | Ltd 3oo copies
This is Sometimes Records # 1 and we're really glad about that - we're also happy it's ready, at last.
Ruth Veln Kiss
was the amazing noize/wave/noize bedroom project from our dear long-time friend Paolo Miceli [formerly KINSKI, MY VIOLENT EGO and now at GTR W/ SEA DWELLER].
He started it in the late '9os and released several demo tapes, -mainly fixed on a 4 trx cassette recorder called Desiderio. Now 3o of those songs are gathered in this CD.
RVK today sounds very-9o's but also still fresh at the same time. A clear Passion for Distorted Pony, MBV, Sonic Youth, Christian Death, Unsane & The Cure, but w/ a unique touch. Highly recommended also if You like modern lo-fi noisy wave and labels as Sacred Bones.
