Slag Boom Van Loon - Slag Boom Van Loon
























Label: Planet µ
Year: 1998
Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM

Review: (Allmusic.com)

Combining the bed-sit beats of Mu-Ziq and the musical disobedience of Speedy J, for intelligent dance music observers this side project of the two experimentalists must read on paper much like a historical Beatles and Rolling Stones crossover. Hey, if equally mythological team-ups can happen in comic books, why not here? Even when you can point out each musician's superpowers on each track (accurately or not), Slag Boom Van Loon have gone and constructed an hour's worth of meticulously absurd electronic fizz. "Light of India" builds up a wall of sitars and Aziz-like transglobal percussion while other pieces like "Broccoli" sound like a Bjork instrumental forced to subsist on underground fungi for a month. Effortless and interesting, this is a collaboration that shows just how screwed in the head dance musicians can be when they get around to it.

Where can I purchase this?

You can purchase it on the net. Amazon has a good selection.

Finding music of this nature in a typical record store is another story. Unfortunately, they just don't keep these albums in stock.

My recommendation would be to order it, or to look for it in a large music store, like one of HMV's superstores.

Hope that helps
