some distro visions on the mama bär elpee.. "Totally fantastic LP collection in a run of only 139 copies of a bunch of essential home-taping experiments culled from countless out of print and ultra-limited releases from hysterical Euro art/punk Mama Baer, more commonly seen in company with the equally outrageous Kommissar Hjuler. The Island features Mama’s insane pause-button deconstruction of her own solo performance of “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”. Hard to think of anyone else this side of Junko from Hijokaidan who can *scream* the way Mama can and some of the vocal performances here are beyond gymnastic, getting into the kind of automatic zone where the body seems to be playing itself, with angry monologues and sobbing tirades giving way to ghostly, mesmeric tape works where her voice is buried in cycles of unearthly phonetics. An amazing album that explodes established sound poetry co-ordinates.",- Volcanic Tongue "Sometimes I think everyone on the European continent is coming down with some sort of brain mold disease. And if it's true, then Mama Baer & her husband Kommissar Hjuler are going to be the leaders of a new world, as they've obviously got tons of experience dunking their heads into muck and algae. Belgian-Danish border songs that are made up of screechy laughing, the whips of spinning cassette tape, & flat out screaming. There's also some chicken clucks, a lot of 'Silence of the Lambs' breathing, and even a capella cover of 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina'. Porno water color painting on the cover which supposedly has something to do with soccer",- Weirdo Records
