"Ersatz ist besser", the 002 of Arche Z is still no James Bond. But a real "Pas de Deux" by Christian Wolfarth and Franz Aeschbacher. In addition to the conventional "Ersatz ist besser" uses unconventional drumsets. Brooms, tins, brushes, angelhair, glass-splinters, chaines and hangers, coconuts, fruitpeels, sponges and pickaxe. It's noisy, it bites, it rages and raves, glows and glimmers as it always does where ever extremes are crashing. Frogs ask: "Should we pop, bang, crack or croak ?" Hollow and metallic ether vibrates. No style at all. In a rolling enterprise a new confounded reality was created. Because the world has lost its trace, din gets transformed to sonatas space. Music for reajustement."
