"Inspired split-tape offering a side each by Tanzprocesz’ Jonathan & él-g’s Opéra Mort (“recorded in Paris / Brussels 2009”) ... and LAFMS / four-decades-running “out” fit Smegma (here consisting of Oblivia, Ju Suk Reet Meate, Dennis Duck, Ace Farron Ford, Nour Mobarak, and Parke Lemus as recorded in Pasadena / Portland 2009 by Ju Suk).

While the Smegma side is of course a morass of love & light, I have to say the Opéra Mort side is the eye-opener here, all mutant drum-machine moves, harsh feedback blasts, and rolling rhythmic crackle that fully justifies their more recent allegiances with Ghédalia Tazartès (as Reines D’Angleterre).

Very nicely done, design-y edition ; pro-duped & imprinted tapes with art by Jonas Delaborde." - Keith Fullerton Whitman
