Review from the anti-naturals/swill radio page:
Moniek Darge – Soundies (Kye)
Superb collection of Moniek Darge’s soundworks. recorded between 1980 and 2001 and released now on Graham Lambkin’s Kye. I’ve always liked most Logos Duo recordings and I love Darge’s solo LP, Sounds Of Sacred Places. Soundies is really a perfect follow-up to that LP. Lots of differing instrumentation, lots of field and location recordings and some voice are used to give each piece its own atmosphere. The CD opens with a 22 minute piece, Sand, which is a tense piece of droning with taut percussion, not all that different from Noh music. It just flies by and the vocal and percussion explosion at the finish is a nice and unexpected way to cap the flow. Other favourite pieces include Caete, which isn’t far removed from parts of Graham’s own Salmon Run CD, and Verbondenheid, with nice field recordings and voice. Turning Wheel finishes the whole CD off with a bizarre singing and rumbling concoction. Strange days. You won’t know what hit you. Fantastic!
