Drone Records DR-79
This project's name translated means "cathing eel with a horses head". Maybe a reference to that one tasteless scene from "Die Blechtrommel" but definitly a name with a lot of duality in it. The beauty that is the equine animal versus cut off heads and rotting flesh as well as using that flesh to catch the intriguing animal that is the eel versus thinking of those slimey creatures.
This duality definitly is audible in the music of Aalfang mit Pferdekopf. Minimal constructions with droney behaviour, yet still open enough to be considered ambience (and therefore more accessible towards a larger audience).
Side a - simple called 'Part A' - is built from seemingly erratic pad-like sounds with heavily reverbed - on the virge of feedback - noises, ending in with the sound with which all life began: water. The B side - Part O - seems to have much more structure with the use of bells and even some vocals. Both tracks are finished off with deep analog sounding drones and noises.
My personal favorite is the B-side, but all in all this is definitly a release to be very proud of.
Marbled toxic green vinyl.
