V/A - "Behind The Toiler Door: Part I" C-90

V/A -

£4.00

Behind The Toilet Door was a one day "festival" (for want of a better word) held in Blyth, Northumberland on the 2nd November 2008 featuring a slew of the more bizaree names in Northern Noise underbelly. Each project, band or artist was made to perform, as the name would suggest, within the small, claustrophobic confines of the wood workshop toilet. This document features the first half of the proceedings with sets from Brian Mueter And The Grandfather Clock, One Wobbly Egg, Waz Hoola, Dirty Den and "Wild" Joe Parsons, MC Blazin', Chris "Pause" Richardson, Ron The Birdcage and Scottish free jazz favourites Tighten Me Jewels. Hear them from behind the toilet door, watch them through the keyhole; hear them as they should be heard. Part II is available on Matching Head.

Over the years Hal Hutchinson has gone from working under the radar to being at the forefront of the noise scene. Through years of dedication to his art, releasing small editions and playing gigs relentlessly all over the place; he has earned his right to stand atop the pile, above the rest of us who have chosen to take a lazier path...

Highly focus and pure electronic sound spews forth in stark contrast to the acoutisc metallic sounds heard within the releases under his own name.
