BEEQUEEN - 'Time Waits For No One' CD (Herbal International)
Reissue of this 1994 CD from Beequeen, (Staalplaat, Ltd 1000). "Frans de Waard and Freek Kinkelaar convey many alternatively bleak, if imagistic, soundscapes... drones of catatonia immersed in cryogenic guitar feedback or the steamy smelt of arcane industry. Atonal occasionally, even unearthly, yet strangely accessible, these works are part of an aesthetic wherein the forging of an unfamiliar sound canvas becomes the springboard from which the listener can extract pictures, panoramas, shapes... Engrossing music that subtly leaves the impression to come back and experience it further." (The Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digifile. Malaysian import.
