hazard records, 2008
(finally a full CD. over sixty minutes of appropriative surface noise)The first UK pressing of The Beatles' 'Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' has in the run out groove (and I am speaking about vinyl here, in case you think 'oh I never saw a run out groove on my mp3') weird sounds, nonsense and gooblygo. File Under Toner is the solo project of Anki Toner, of whom we reviewed a CD in Vital Weekly 613, where he collects sounds from run out grooves. Not necessarily with music, but it can also be with popping, cracking and hissing sounds. What ties these short tracks together is the fact that they are lifted from well-known records, mainly from the pop (!) area - not that I recognized any Abba or The Doors in there. File Under Toner, named after Chris Cutler's 'File Under Popular' adds some delay, reverb, filtering and pops your uncle. A nice, little conceptual idea surely, but I would think that twenty minutes would be enough, or even, as divided here in portions of twenty minutes, side A and side B would be enough. But side C is well over the top. Nice but a bit too much. But it has extended liner notes, which is very funny. (FdW - VITAL WEEKLY 642)
Creemos muchas cosas que podríamos cuestionar. Por ejemplo, que los discos vienen en un CD; que la música son canciones; que en el silencio no se escucha nada; que adquirir discos cuesta dinero; o que un regalo es valioso porque nos ha costado equis euros. Esta última propuesta desmiente todas estas generalidades. La netlabel Hazard Records -impulsada por el músico Anki Toner (Superelvis, Ankitoner Metamars)- edita álbumes bajo licencia de dominio público, cuya descarga es gratuita. Este que aquí recomendamos es File under toner, this is the end, beautiful friend, para el que se han grabado los sonidos que reproduce un tocadiscos al finalizar el surco de diferentes discos. Y no todos los silencios suenan iguales, los saltos de aguja al final de un vinilo de Jacques Brel tienen una textura diferente a la de un single de sardanas. Un regalo para aprender a leer entre líneas que hará reflexionar al ser querido que más se lo merezca. (Elena Cabrera - www.adn.es)
