    “‘Maybellene’ is a country song sped up. ‘Johnny B. Goode’ is blues sped up. But you listen to Bo Diddley and you say, ‘What in the Jesus is that?’”

    - George Thorogood

    Solex Ahoy! The Sound Map of the Netherlands

    During the course of the summer of 2008, Bart van Poppel and Elisabeth Esselink trekked the numerous rivers, lakes and waterways covering the twelve provinces of the Netherlands by an old motor boat. In each province a different cast of musicians were invited to climb aboard and purely a l’improviste, create a homage to the Dutch landscape. On returning to her home base in Amsterdam, Esselink took the resulting material full of noises, moods, voices and rhythms back to her studio where she set about processing the recordings into twelve separate sound-image com¬positions, one for each province. 

    I just received my vinyl copy in the mail yesterday. It’s not my favorite Solex record, but do I like it a lot.

    The final track on a NIN record is *very* final.

    A selection of endings from Nine Inch Nails records. 

    Shame on us
    Doomed from the start
    May God have mercy
    On our dirty little hearts
    Shame on us
    For all we’ve done
    And all we ever were
    Just zeros and ones

    It will get stuck in your head.
