This is one of those CDs where I have to work out how I came to own a copy. The label, apestaartje, and the date, 2003, were my clues. Apestaartje is one of the labels my friend Eric has worked with, for many years now. He started promoting gigs as no signal in late 2003 or early 2004, and one of the first was an apestaartje showcase featuring Anderegg and others (pedantry for the record: the website may say it was on 2 February 2004, but I'm sure it was on 6 February).
I can't remember the gig, and I can't remember paying for the CD — perhaps it was a gift. Glitchy electro-acoustic ambience. Or something. For me it exists on that threshold between not-so-bland-that-I-could-object-to-it and not-substantial-enough-that-I-would-care-much-about-hearing-it-again. You wouldn't believe how many CDs like this there are lurking under the radar of mainstream awareness and all traditional media except for The Wire. Or maybe you would. But it's frequently a surprise to me whenever I catch a glimpse of this parallel world.
