Crude Transactions release party perspectives part 2

Black Yoghurt aka Sefton Holmes was the man of the match. The penultimate set. Synth based dark pop with organic juno 6 triads underneath. But not far behind him was a blissful Armpit featuring 'LSD Fundraiser' aka Dene Barnes. 2 blazing saddles. The signature phaser and tubescream of Barnes a bed (of nails) for the transcendental snitzle that is Clayton Noone's guitar amp. A beautiful percussion free set lending credence to the entire transactions venture.
After them twas thee ISO12 electro event. An ISO12 set is like a crash course in chuang-tzu style spontaneity. ISO is less solo performer than facilitator - he selflessly offers up what he has called 'the train'...an old school electro beat triggering moogs and software synths, sampler and free style rap and vocals breaks abound - isos sensuous'n'smooth almost 'northern soul' style singing creeps under yr skin and makes you shiver. hes oblivious to whoever joins the stage as long as what they're doing is in sync with the train. So we got a few players up, Max 'Batskin' Read truly conjuring up a truly odd atmosphere from the juno 6, for instance. Thanks iso12, Jason Aldridge that is - a man I have known since '95 and someone i can truly call a good friend and an integral member of the musical community down here.
Next up was 420 Center. Jeez 8.8 on the richter scale!!!!!!! Japan just hit. Man oh man. 420 centre was a special one of version of 'Mental Health Triangle' a free style out-fit with an ethic of absolute lyrical spontenaity - even if it comes across as childish. Especially if it comes across as childish. Billy Childish. This version was carried by Jon White (mc jumps)_. His is a mind of rare wit and melodic playfullness. Justin Ta'ulu was classic mc science community. A rich tenor. Animated unassuming and a little bit filthy. Joining the 420 center was rachel dragonforce ancd
mc norgacs.....//? ///////i was a bit lost for words up there , by that point my vocal output was reduced to hooligan hooting and that uselessly inauthentic eastern accent
personality. The gulf left by an absent lady grey (toki) was humungus. He got the genius.
