This is the first verse. This is the first verse. This is the first verse. This is the first verse... And this is the chorus. Or perhaps it's a bridge. Or just another part of the song that I'm singing...

Su YT c'è un gustoso assaggio della performance di Himmel-Music for Massed Fuzz Organs il mese scorso al Festival Mimi. In azione c'erano per l'occasione Andy Saunders, Glyn Perrin, Richard Miles, Jules Bernable e Chris Cutler, con gli invitati Tom Mugridge e Jake Rousham, Juliano Lacave, Nicolas Debade, Franck Barriac, Louis Ramanitra, Sophie Amiard, Léa Lachat, Philippe Andeol, Lionel Malric, Laurent Rossi e Phil Spectrum.
Il gruppo - non si sa in quale assetto - tornerà presto ospite del londinese Cafe Oto, dove già ha gettato le basi per una prossima produzione discografica. Sulle infernali difficoltà di riprendere efficacemente un simile ensemble, tanto in studio quanto dal vivo, si è scritto: "The Himmel experience is a tricky one to actually capture outside of the live context. It's elusive and complex, countless layers piling up on top of each other in building waves, and while you're paying attention to one aspect an as yet unnoticed major shift uncoils just beneath the surface and alters the dynamics and direction of the whole piece. That's why each of the pieces is at least twenty minutes long; they each need at least that much terrain within which to shift and alter their shape, to transmogrify from one topography to another, and back again, and then elsewhere. So, to try to capture any of it in the studio, or record it live, is a challenge of Herculean proportion."

E' pronto da appena poche ore e già reclama con Loser, Drinking Ourselves out of Trouble e Evil Combination i propri classici: The Indefatigable Logic of Bing & Bob è l'atteso album della coppia di fatto - mai pienamente dichiarata - di Bing Selfish e Robert 'Murphy' Storey, messo a punto con l'aiuto degli amici Bob Drake, Simon King, Chris Cornetto, Matt Armstrong e Dean Brodrick. E non poche amiche: Sylvia Hallett, Kathy Hulme, Dawn McCarthy, Katja Heber. Anticipato in parte al concerto di ieri sera al King & Queen di Fitzrovia a Londra, in compagnia di King e Cornetto, ripreso ancora con loro oggi in radio per Resonance FM per l'ultima puntata estiva di All Things Selfish.
Ditties for the Dapper, finesse for the Flapper. Bing & Bob take you back to the 20s in style. But which 20s? Bing Selfish and Bob Hopeless are joined by an array of luminaries, including Bob Drake, Simon King, Chris Cornetto, Matt Armstrong and Dean Brodrick. The classy Bing & Bob straddle a rift in time (quick) time between now, whenever that is, and the roaring 20s. This is a perfect album for which to don your smoking jacket, light up a cocktail and engage your cigarillo holder as you take a dérive down Las Ramblas, as you tuck into a pie and a pint on the shores of Lake Constance, as you start a bin fire in Monaco or perhaps just simply seek gainful employment as a croupier in Lisbon, Chicago or Casablanca.
