G*Park Seismogramm CD Blossoming Noise Available through the Helen Scarsdale Agency: $13.00      "Marc Zeier may be a member of Schimpfluch-Guppe, but his recordings as G*Park are a long way from the abjection and scatology of of projects such as Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock or Sudden Infant. Zeier has released a dozen or so albums under the G*Park moniker since the early 80s, and Seismogramm (originally a 1990 Schimpfluch LP, reissued here in remastered form with no extra material) is one of the best. The Album's ten tracks are clinical assemblages of indistinct sound, exuding a chilly, bleak Ambience. The recurrence of dysfunctional, machine-like sounds and Zeier's rigorous sense of structure give Seismogramm the form of a post-industrial musique concrete. The sounds - some of them field recordings, others possibly sourced from an everyday object or even a musical instrument, all treated so as to be largly unidentifiable - are set in awkward rhythms patterns and ungainly juxtapositions, appearing and abruptly receding, or bouncing off each other as though repulsed by contact. Icy, muffled rumblings regularly appear in the background, threatening to swamp everything. The title, a giveaway metaphor from the usually inscrutable Zeier, helps to explicate the album's peculiar, elusive power, and the way it's ostensibly random patterns mechanically connote elemental forces and processes." -- Nick Cain / The Wire
