This month
a.P.A.t.Tfinally brought too term their debut long player, (L.p.)
within days of the loss of our nation's number one audio
junkie, Sir Jon Peel. tis a little odd in that, if there was
one person in this world that would have understood this
record perfectly, and in a way was responsible for the
currently stable existence of such underground musical genius,
then it was surly he. |

a.P.A.t.T,
are a 5 piece musical mongrel of a project currently hailed as
the city of Liverpool's number one candidate for most fooked
contribution to its, (widely perceived as bogus), bid for city
of culture. Meaning, this is a perfect example of the rich
pickings one can find in its clubs and venues. This cd is much
more like the vibes audiences of recent live shows from the
Dingle to Dutchland have given witness too. (L.p.) goes far
far far beyond the realms of mixed genre music, in fact its
such a ludicrous mix of post- / pre-/ and dare i
say, during-the-event-itself-rock... it has become its
very own style of addictive frequencies, audio expression and
musical guts, some kind of scouse Jekyll and Hyde ambient
hardcore pop?!?!...... maybe. |

This
is their second official release on aPehAt recordings,
though they have been documenting many, many hours of
playing together in home made studio's and making live
appearances under many names throughout the u.k for the
last 5 years. This year they also accompanied Stig on a
tour of Holland, (" what a country!"-General Midi) the
kind of alliance that could easily soundtrack the end of
the music industry as we know it. |

Its
a rare thing to have access to something this pure,
usually there are middle
men
taking their cut, watering down the substance, and
selling it on with nothing like its original potent
qualities... that's why sometimes ya have to wait a
little longer and dig a little deeper for the good
stuff, and when ya find it, hold on to it for the rest
of ya life.... " theres a voice insde my head, it
says that im in his instead"- Though we are
extremely saddened by the news of Sir john peel's death,
to be given this record in return, in my opinion, is not
a bad swap |
