From the fine folks that brought Bristol the magnificent 12 Days of Xmas show at the Bridewell police station comes a new show that in some ways even eclipses that line up. Steal From Work present their second major group art show ‘Not A Penny Off The Pay, Not A Second On The Day’.
A great line up of artists includes
C215 - Paris
CEPT - London
CYCLOPS - Bristol
GAIA - New York - OMG!!!
MATT SMALL – London
MAU MAU - Devon
MOTORBOY – Bristol
MUDWIG - Bristol - HUZARR!!
PARIS - Hull - YOU BEAUTY!
ROWDY - Bristol
SWEET TOOF – London - TOOTHY!!
WILL BARRAS - UK
Simply can't wait for this. My good friend Hob picked up a beauty from Cyclops at the last show and I may, given the opportunity, add a Cyclops to my collection at this one.
The Old Motorcycle Workshop, 15-19 Stokes Croft

Schengen Ce Gil Album reviews
We've received some cracking reviews for the new album. Here are the reviews from the mighty Norman Records and Small Fish.
Norman Records said...
Now on that limited Distant Noise CD label comes a new CD from Schengen, 'Ce Gil '. 10 tracks of atmospheric variable electronics from the former krautrocker. 'Fendered' is playful electro taking in snippets of Thieves Like Us era New Order with light techno touches. 'Duc' is aquatic, motorik electro. Some parts glide & glow with positive radiance. Really earthy & pretty, fluid textures, skittering beats, hypnotic Orbital-esque piano loops, digital bursts of fuzz....the list goes on. This is a quality release, an eclectic collection of moods from a quiet old master! Limited to 100 numbered copies so be quick!

Distant Noise have released some super CDs in the last couple of months and the Bristol duo of Schengen deliver the third in the series. This album pretty much defies categorization in many ways and I think that's why it's so good. Having said that it does mostly feature electronic music in many different shapes and forms. Thus, you get melodic, classic sounding electronica with sweet chords and homely tones. But, you also get some fairly hefty sounding old-school techno tracks with a minimal leaning and some very robust beats. In my opinion, that's actually when they're at their best as they really let loose some rocking moments. All in all in it's a brilliantly varied and extremely tidy set of tracks. Bravo.
The album is available from www.distantnoiserecords.co.uk

Went up London town way
Me and Hob hit the East End and I was treated to another guided tour of this area. Hob knows the walls well and knows what's changed and what's new so under his expert tutorlage (?) (we didn't get lost once) we pounded the pavements. Lovely cup of tea off the Brick Lane too.
We also took in Souled Out at the LSG and the good people at Black Rat Press let us inside the gallery despite the Print Show not being on. Thanks guys. Here are some shots from the day (last week Thurs 28th).
