| Sadly, very little can be said about this 7". We do know that it's a one-sided collection of horns - no we're not talking the Memphis sound here, but the British vehicular variety - presumambly recorded in sympathy with late 2000's fuel protesters. .. |

| Steven Astley '13-09-00' from Victory Garden Records, you know those loveable rogues who brought us Southall Riot, and some of the most bizarrely packaged releases in recent memory like 8 track cartridges, individually numbered 7 inch slices from original master tapes etc.... This time it's a fairly normal run of the mill 1-sided clear vinyl seven inch, so much ado about nothing as one bearded feather clutching ex losing today scribe once commented when asked to review the Rick Wakeman-less masterpiece 'Greensleeves'. Steven has recorded the sounds of London traffic and presented them in a trance ambience form that richly fits the Eno notion. Despite on paper sounding a tad dull, '13-09-00' really works a treat so much so that I've recorded an album of kettle noises during one of my special ambient moments in the kitchen on Thursday. Surreal. |

| Opening with what sounds like a chorus of juggernaut horns, this continues with a chorus of juggernaut horns. There is no music on this record, and I don't mean that in the Stereophonics sense. The B-side is completely smooth, so all you get is what has been described. It'd work well as the soundtrack to an installation of monochrome photos of Salford. Quite fascinating, in a stranded-on-the-motorway-in-a-blizzard-at-three-in-the-morning kind of way. |
