Release Notes:
--------------
Limited edition of 350 hand-numbered copies.
A manifesto of escapist longing, of taking things to a more extreme level, a
quest for a complex contextual message: The third and final edition of the
Epicurean Escapism compilation series again unites music, film and visual arts
contributed by the most interesting acts in the field of experimental industrial
music; exploring the viewpoint of escapism, sharing the vision of uncompromising
utopian transgression, diving into this subjective counter-world. Enjoy and
endure!
The CD starts with British veteran providers of the extreme, SUTCLIFFE JGEND,
who present a straight forward power noise track with a pulsating electronic
hook. Swedish units ALFARMANIA and SKIN AREA dig deep into the depraved
consciousness, each of them with of their unique version of morbid industrial
resonating with decay, while BUDRUS seduce the listener with beautifully
melancholic Lithuanian poetry; German act GERECHTIGKEITS LIGA clank and rattle
with their brand of organic industrial. NIKOLAS SCHRECK, the prominent voice of
Radio Werewolf appears as a vaudevillian, with a perverse neo-psychedelic
composition conveying allusions to the deity Lord Sutekh, merging European
neoclassical with ethnic Indian music and poetry with an unmistakable Radio
Werewolf accent. A very special treat also comes from LAST DOMINION LOST  one
of the last recordings of John Murphy on drums can be heard on their ritual
piece To The Master, A Long Goodnight dedicated to the master himself.
The contained DVD comprises video works, live performances and collaborations by
radical Swiss sound artist DAVE PHILLIPS, sonically active since 1987, part of
the notorious SCHIMPFLUCH GRUPPE (with Rudolf Eber, Joke Lanz) since 1991,
having left his signature in numerous bands, projects and collaborations.
DAVE PHILLIPS uses sound as a means to activate primordial emotions otherwise
hidden underneath the debris of civilization. His concept is called
Humanimalism accordingly, meaning a state of mind that overcomes religious,
material und supremacist charges of evolution, acknowledges itself as part of a
whole and has grown into an empathic, conscious and connected creature allowing
emotion and instinct their equal part in decision-making.
This collection presents his multifaceted work in composition, performance,
psycho-acoustics, sonic rituals, voice, video, field recordings, objects and
electronics, etc. in a yet unknown complexity and coherence of motion pictures.
His performance work is revealed in all its undiluted brutality, the urgency and
topicality of his work and his message is clearly evident, captivating and
intensely documented.
Along with DAVE PHILLIPS video works created between 2014 and 2016, the DVD is
a document of unique solo live actions and the notorious Paris 1996 performance
of SCHIMPFLUCH-GRUPPE, as well as recent collaborations with G.X. JUPITTER
LARSEN, and video artists PAKISE AKIN, JAN VAN HASSELT and REMOTE-CONTROL
RECTUM, who in turn created their visual interpretations of PHILLIPS' audio
works. It all amounts to a mind-expanding experience, playing with altered
perception and throwing back the viewer onto his own vision.
The compilation package is topped off with a 24-page catalogue with a text about
the work of DAVE PHILLIPS, as well as a double page each with collages,
pictures, drawings and lyrics representing the audio work of every artist
featured on the CD.
