NOTE: There was a -WEB- out some time ago.
Now, that i found this one on the attic,
here's a proper CD rip,
- tho, i don't like the album. Maybe you? :)
Germany's Kptmichigan (Michael Beckett) is an
exploritory guitarist who chooses
a variety of diverse musical ideas.
Currently Michael is part of Schneider TM's
live group (they met in 1996 when
Michael was touring with his band, Tuesday
Weld, & Schneider was touring with
his band, Hip Young Things) as well as
the band Beautiful New Born Children.
Together, he & Schneider TM released a
record on City Slang which included a
hit cover of The Smith's 'There is a light
that never goes out', which gained them
international recognition.
For the record, that release was a
collaboration, titlehough press has seemed
happy to date with only giving credit to TM.
Tuesday Weld eventually broke up, leaving
Michael without a band & a bitterness
towards rock music. He started messing
around with a sampler and a groovebox.
This eventually would lead to the creation
of 'Hey Love', his 1st record as Kptmichigan.
This Kpt. record is the one most inspired by
electronic music, which is ironic, as it was
recorded entirely onto a 4 track.
As 2001 rolled around, Kpt was feeling bored
of the clinical, hi-fi ness of electronic
music, which he states as having 'no sex & a
major lack of attitude'. 'Player, Player' his
debut Aesthetics release, was created with only
a 400 mhz/64 mb PC along with some other gear.
'Player, Player' is loud, dirty (with hissing
throughout) & sexy (the occurances of Jamican
frequencies). Kpt describes it as 'my statement
against the general poo that was going on around
me'. It ends with a prophetic song about a man
who was about to destroy the U.S. & the rest
of the planet.
