RLW & Tito - Mahlzeit [Hinterzimmer Records - 2008]

This strange food obsessed collaboration falls somewhere between improvision, cryptic/ disgusting and funny field recording collages and live-wire/ droning  electronics, with the odd more musically moment.

Utilized to create the album are; vocals, flute, body functions and electronics by RWL (Senior & junior) and toys, kitchen tools electronics and voices by TITO Trans industrial Toy Orchestra. The album wonders along in a often quite vs. sudden jarring and grotesque sonic world that uncurls around you in an languid, over-eaten and woozy atmosphere.Which goes from making you feel lite-head, freaked out , to been chuckle bound. Often they dropped in seemingly  random conversions about food and beer, cinema  that drift into sound space among the other sounds.  I prefer the passagers here that are a little denser, hectic and bodily noise bound, they seem to have more focus and point as some of the album does have a tendency to wonder along in it’s own little world with little direction or point.

An album that at its best creates some very freaked- out and weird audio landscapes and at its worse is a little dull and pointless. So a little hit and miss on the whole sort of 60% works the other 40% is highly variable.
