Reviewing S/T: The Difficult Second Album (Save Our Sperms SOS 05)
There are also some bands in Germany playing krautrock in recent days...imagine that! Almost by accident, I came across a wonderful disc by the duo called S/T called The Difficult Second Album, released in 1995 on the obviously indie 'Save Our Sperms' label in Frankfurt, Germany. I don't know anything about these guys other than they go by the names 'Mister Miller' and 'Horse Badorfies' (Nope... that's not a misprint. Anybody know what the hell this means?) and they play a killer style of crazed psychedelia that is only surpassed in insanity level by the Vas Deferens Organization. A couple tunes have a strong Hawkwind resemblance, the sort of electronic freakouts that Dave Brock offered on 'Earthed to the Ground' for instance. But some of this S/T stuff is even better. I am intent on finding out whether there actually was an easier first album made, or perhaps an impossible third. An internet search turned up exactly nothing except the presence of this very album listed in Pat Reilley's catalog (Lone Starfighter). What can you tell me, Pat?
