I’m obsessed by Strandbeest

Home made electronic noise makers Neptune rise on a two-part concept song Tell my people to go Home.

Tell my people to go home (Part I) begins, full of under-mumbled urgency hinting at the great Howard Devoto, with hooks of early Devo noise.

Hella’s approach to Load Records is echoed in the drums, while most readers will smell Oneida’s wild eyed unhinged moments.

Neptune - Tell my People to go Home (part I)

For those of you who show no fear, no respect for standard song structures, or just do something out the ordinary – well here are Neptune with promising beginnings. Keep up the good werk guys!

MusicCargo’s Der Schmetterling EP was one of those we managed to play pretty much every track off when djing, a rather rare thing, swinging from glam rock to Sigue Sigue Sputnik all under a veil of krautrock was not an easy thing to do, but they managed it quite well. Guitarist Gerhard Michel has been playing live with Klaus Dinger, which added a rather large delay in their new material and we kinda thought they were one of those bands that disappear into a black hole of non-hit wonders.

Now we are glad to say they are back with a new 12″ Ernte 05 on Amontillado Music

MusicCargo - Ernte 05

It wasn’t just us that seemed to like MusicCargo as tracks by the band have snook onto both the Cosmo Galactic Prism by Prins Thomas and Ivan Smagghe & Chloe’s The Dysfunctional Family.

MusicCargo’s home town of Duesseldorf and its musical heritage is obviously a big impact on their sound, but its one we love, and Ernte 05 snuggles in equally well next to the classic sound of Duesseldorf or Brighton’s own Fujiya & Miyagi

Nothing to do with music, but can we have one of these cuties?
