Just got two new City Centre Offices releases earlier today. Only listened to each once but i thought i'd pass along all the relavent press infos. . Solvent/Lowfish split 7" (City Centre Offices/BLOCK 003) The third ep on the Manchester/Berlin based City Centre Offices label is a 2-tracker from Canada's Suction label artists Solvent & Lowfish. Solvent's "Duckie" is a slowed down, emotional number inspired by the likes of Eric Satie, Tommy Steel and Kraftwerk and is guaranteed to make you weep. As the inscription on the 7" says, don't fight it - feel it... Lowfish provide us with a booty-popin' masterpiece that will make you wanna shake your booty and raise your hands in the air. Glued- Smile is an upbeat electro number made by robots for robots. Party on! So another winning combination again. Tracks to make you dance, and tracks with which to reminisce... . Herrmann & Kleine: transalpin 12" (City Centre Offices/BLOCK 005) CCO present their first 12" release and welcome these two new artists to their camp. Herrmann & Kleine are Thaddi HERRMANN, co-founder of the label and ex Digital Hardcore affiliate who was also responsible for the recent 'No Movement No Sound No Memories' 12" on the Lux Nigra label and Christian KLEINE, a new producer working in Berlin. Both started working together earlier this year. The Transalpin ep is the result of work the two had carried out over the last six months. 'Transalpin' and 'Where Have You Been' are pop anthems, mixing delicate tinkling melodies with old-school, sometimes distorted breakbeats. 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' are 2 stripped down screenshots, atmospheric, almost ambient soundscapes. Both are currently working on an ep for Berlin's Morr Music label as well as their debut album for CCO. Christian Kleine will release some solo material on CCO in the coming year. He has also been playing some guitar pieces and accompanimens during the recording of Arovane's 'Tides' LP, due for release on CCO in March 2000. Herrmann & Kleine record their tracks only on Sundays. -->-Lance--- xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
