CRANIOCLAST - A Con Cristal / Rats Can Coil - Cats Can Roil . CD
CD, 6-panel digisleeve, ltd. 200 copies
A Con Cristal, the third Cranioclast album - or rather EP - originally released in 1987, and Rats Can Coil - Cats Can Roil from 1990, are offered for the first time, and together, on CD in a limited edition completely restored and remastered by Andrea Marutti.
Three new tracks based on Rats - Cats are also added as a welcome unreleased bonus under the title Accidental encounter of rats and cats on a turntable; running time of this new music is almost 30 minutes.
A Con Cristal deals with bunkers, especially along the European coasts, mainly not in their original function during WWII, but in their post-functional appearance as bizzare sculptures or relics of long-dead cultures, architectures of aggression and more.
Rats Can Coil - Cats Can Roil already sounds like Rock'n'Roll in the words and it is or it isn't or is it or not ;-)? But the rats and cats are dancing.
Accidental encounter of rats and cats on a turntable transforms Rats - Cats into Metal. Into Drone Metal of course or doesn’t or does or... ;-). But the dogs like that, as was to be expected.
Once again, on the occasion of this re-release, the artwork of the original records has been congenially transformed and supplemented by Deison.
