Side A: Thorsten Soltau (D) turntables Recorded & edited october 2010 | mixed & compiled september 2011 | 19:48 min Side B: Preslav Literary School (UK) electronics, tape recorder Recorded september 2011 | 19:55 min core 003, limited edition of 300 copies, deluxe custom silkscreen print on bag "In my ears Alamut is undoubtful the LP side of the year 2011!" Kultur[Terrorismus] (D) "Guitar noise clunks in front of fragments of radio static and ambient snippets, slipping into beautiful marriages of lo-fi conversation, whistling feedback and amplified rustle of stylus on vinyl." ATTN:Magazine (USA) "A piece of jewelry, a collector's item, with artwork by Armin Kehrer which has the effect of splinters hitting your eyeball!" Bad Alchemy (D) Thorsten Soltau's Grün wie Milch (green as milk) is at first a beautifully compiled mix of gaudy plunderphonics. Like in all good collages, visual or audible, Soltau uses a wide variety of notorious sounds that function as hints in a scavenger hunt to take you to imaginary landscapes. The process of this young artist's cut-up turntable work is well listenable and seems to squiggles bold and fresh from the needle directly into your ear. While listening and virtually scrapping off more and more of the vinyl locked groove layers, you get deeper into the Soltau sound universe and realize his immense digging for textures in the contemporary and primeval sound mud. Rough and dirty glitches and crackles, snippest of percussion, hypnotic piano loops, distorted and pitched voices all in an amazing vinyl aesthetic.
