atco2 VARIOUS ARTISTS Attractive! Too 7"EP
Here finally comes the eagerly awaited second release on Steve Lippert’s Attractive Co-ordinates label, specialized in vinyl 7” releases with his very own vision of graphic design which is exclusively distributed by Anna Logue Records. After the first release (THE PHONE Discreet Affair, 7”, atco1, 2008), we are being served a mini compilation featuring four projects from around his circle of friends: A1 is POEME ELECTRONIQUE with “Fragile (Original)”, one of the super hits which was already released on the “The Echoes Fade” album (ANNA 025.2009), but here presented in an even earlier and rougher version using the Boss DR-55 drum machine and a little more, let’s say, expressive Sharon on vocals. A2 is TREELINE, a duo comprising Steve Lippert himself and Clive Weston who serve “It’s No Good Trying To Reason With Me”, let’s say, an experimental piece of minimal music. B1 is COMPLICATED MEMORIES, that is Marc Schaffer from Anna Logue Records. “Remember (You & I)” is actually a demo track originally recorded for Twins Natalia and was eventually released as “When we were Young” on a 7” on Anna Logue Records (ANNA 017.2008). “Remember (You & I)” comes along as a very rough and yet beautiful and melodic minimal electronics pop piece with Roland CR-78/CSQ-100/SH-2 combo, strings from the Crumar Perfomer and a rare vocal performance from Marc. B2 is by Jonni Mogul’s project THE PHONE that brings us the “White Noise Symphony”, a track that is paying some homage to Kraftwerk with a lovely synthetic percussion sent through a flanger thus referring to “T.E.E.”, plus analogue synthesisers and vocoders, odd organ sounds, etc. Comes in hand numbered 8 pages fold out poster with band pics and infos. To cut a long story short, a lovely vinyl mini compilation full of analogue electronics, made by friends for friends, so, time for you to become a friend, too!

atco3 THE PHONE Cabaret Noir 7”
Third release by Attractive Co-ordinates and second release with and from THE PHONE, the retro-analogue synth project by Jonni Mogul (aka Mogul) paying homage to some of the old heroes namely Soft Cell, Kraftwerk and the likes but with a rather unique sound in the end. A1 opens with “Cabaret Noir”, a powerful uptempo dancefloor filler with an almost anarchistic straight-forward punk drive, slogan-like lyrics from the new romantic era (“times passes slowly … reflected in a glass … like a film in slow motion … the cocktail glass is smashed”) and ending in a short and minimalistic reprise of the main track including a small vocal appearance by Sharon Abbott from Poeme Electronique/Twins Natalia. B2 is “Film in Slow Motion”, a very short and weird rhythmic industrial synth inferno. B1 opens with “Scientist X”, a wonderful analogue electro pop track with lots of weird synth sounds, vocoder and room for some warm melodic synthetic strings. The vinyl ends far too soon with B2 “Dub Missile”, a short and powerful electro reprise of “Cabaret Noir”. With THE PHONE, Jonni proves that with some love and passion you can create some damn cool music with lots of great ideas and sounds actually put into a minimal length of a track. Now there are rumours about the production of a THE PHONE album, well, the time is right, so instruct your DJs, prepare your strobe lights and let the people heat the dancefloor to the sound of THE PHONE.
