Black To Comm, Aosuke - S/T
The city of Hamburg is often overlooked abroad musically because everyone is looking at Berlin. Nonetheless, in terms of experimental music it might even have surpassed Berlin in quantity and quality. A small but productive scene has developed over the last few years, of which both the two artists on this new LP are an important part.

onetheless, in terms of experimental music it might even have surpassed Berlin in quantity and quality. A small but productive scene has developed over the last few years, of which both the two artists on this new LP are an important part.
For those not in the know, Black to Comm is the recording name for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter. On his side of the split LP, he follows the path laid out by his recent double LP “Wir können leider nicht etwas mehr zu tun”. Its first track entitled “Blizzard Angels of the Golden Stratosphere” needs to be listened to at maximum volume. A one note organ tone and distorted electric guitar build up a massive wall of sound that is plain amazing to listen to. The title of the track seems to nod at some of Tangerine Dream´s track titles, and indeed “Blizzard Angels” is not too far away from TD´s 1971 classic “Fly and Collision of Comas Sola”. The second track on the Black to Comm side is less powerful and features what sounds like alien farts over distant stringed sounds.
Aosuke on the other side is the duo of Ulf Schütte on guitar and electronics and Tobert Knopp on electronics and tapes. After several releases on Schütte´s Tape Tektoniks outlet and a CD on the Audiolith label, these three tracks are a fine example of their ability to add a new twist to the already trodded path of echoed guitar/effects and electronics releases. Not that their sounds are revolutionary new, but they´re definitely very well made and convince through their subtle composition and density.
