MC O Som Naha (..Beartown Records/ UK - 2009) special cassette edition

...Recorded over the course of two days in 2000 with an acoustic guitar and two plastic bottles, “O Som Naha” sees the eclectic German musician at his most minimal. Basho-Junghans employs a strict metronome-like percussive pulse throughout the course of the recording. Precise scrapes dart back and forth over the stereo spectrum and most sounds seem decidedly non-guitar. It’s amazing what Basho-Junghans accomplishes with such a limited sonic palette; this release is also subtitled “A Hardcore Meditation”, which is fitting as the recording is both challenging and introspective at the same time... (Kirk Van Husen/foxy digitalis)
