Ende Shneafliet ‘Twistin’ on the Tombstones’ LP
Here today, gone tomorrow…
Ende Shneafliet are a forgotten band from The Netherlands that recorded during the early 1980’s. A dedicated audience of connoisseurs around Europe and beyond considers them however one of the most interesting and innovative Dutch minimal electronics acts from that era. Although Ende Shneafliet existed no longer than two years, they were highly productive during that time. Their sound stretches from minimal wave and minimal electronics to a kind of minimal prog-pop.
Ende Shneafliet were a collective of musicians that was years ahead of its time, with headquarters at the legendary Dutch tape label Trumpett. After the compilation album Trumpett Sounds (Enfant02) and the return of Trumpett band The Actor (Covergirl EP, Enfant03), Enfant Terrible presents Twistin’ on the Tombstones, a double LP collecting 22 of the best tracks by Ende Shneafliet. All material on this album was recorded during the years 1981–1983 and is taken from the various cassette albums the band released on Trumpett.
Enfant Terrible is very pleased to present another chapter of Dutch pop music history that has been forgotten. There is still a lot more to tell, but this double LP by Ende Shneafliet is an essential part of the story.
