Goem = A Russian word for the shops where only the communist party
members could buy. Now abolished.
Goem started out by Frans de Waard (Wander, Kapotte Muziek,
Beequeen, Shifts, Captain Black, Quest) in september 1996 when he
got hold of Student Stimulator (a measuring device used in
hospitals). After toying around for a while, Roel Meelkop (THU20,
Kapotte Muziek) joined and together they recorded 'Stud Stim' (CD
by Rastermusic). May 1997 Peter Duimelinks (THU20, Kapotte Muziek)
joined and since then they have been recording extensively, and
playing live concerts (Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam). Goem runs
also the Audio.NL label.
"Goem are a paradox: embraced and accepted as part of the latest
'digital', computer music scene, whereas much if not all of what
they do is so much more primal, organic and, frankly, analogue in
nature. Disco is the latest in a plethora of recent-ish releases
(well, almost: Abri has been released on 12k since this came
out!): nine untitled tracks, of what must be relatively older
material dating as it does from 1998. The trademark pulse is
there of course, the raison d'etre of these mainstays in the
experimental music scene, its heart turned into some kind of
mutant concrete-block-rocking beat slowed to life-affirming
velocity. The subtle processing is there too, the other ingredient
in the recipe. And that's pretty much it. So couldn't anyone do
what Goem do? I suspect the answer to that really has to be "no".
When the trio do what they do best, as they show with consistent
ease on Disco, the effect of time is lost entirely. This isn't a
time-stretching effect; it's the complete abolition of time
itself. I don't get this notion with anyone else. Tracks could
conceivably be 5 or 50 minutes long: I just don't care, and that
is what makes Disco so compelling, so different on each listen.
It's as simple as that: another essential album from one of the
most important groups to emerge in electronic music in the last
five years. If you haven't got it, you'll never "get" it. (BL)"
Vital Weekly
"Released mid-2001. Disco. That's D.I.S.C.O? D, deleted. I,
insubstantial. S, super-structure. C, corroded. O, oh-oh. Let's
get this straight. Disco is not disco. It might be disco if it was
speeded up to Warp Factor 9, but even then it's hard to be
certain. Goem's Disco is what you get if you dip minimal techno
into acid, corroding the insubstantial and leaving only the
backbone, the super-structure. It is deleted techno and the slow
cycles are hypnotic."
