VITAL
WEEKLY
A 7" by Nurse With Wound, these
days old master Steven Stapleton and 'young
man' Andrew Liles, its always a good idea.
They can create a short piece of music that
works well on this format. On the a-side we
have a piece for drums, bass and guitar in
a proggy style and some spoken word (female
of course, courtesy of Liles no doubt, and
with a sexual explicit content - the old in-out).
It makes an excellent Nurse With Wound piece
combining their ever (but not always) present
interest in krautrock textures and a fine
spoken word cut-up thing. That's how to do
a great a-side of a 7".
The b-side is more contemplative and a duet
for two guitars - duelling guitars even? -
but sampled and spliced together and slowly
building in rhythm and intensity, and with
weird ending - like cut from something bigger.
Nice enough, but not more than just that,
a nice piece of music. I reminded of someone
who once released an one-sided 7" 'as
no-one ever listens to the other side anyway'.
I'd rather a have piece then that is just
below par than nothing. (FdW)
