Lollopy Dripper

Flanger is back! Ten years after their 2005 Spirituals album (NON 018CD/LP), Atom TM and Burnt Friedman have composed and produced their fifth album. Ignoring genre-limits, both artists have progressed from the considerable skills shown on their 1999 debut album as a duo, Templates - a work of intangible, mutating, jazzy electronic sound beyond the constraints of time and space. They've since returned to Burnt Friedman's Berlin studio several times to release new energies in the form of Spirituals and Outer Space/Inner Space (2001), which incorporate decomposed jazz instrumentation and midi-fied electronic processing. Apart from Hayden Chisholm's saxophone contributions on two tracks, this is how it works again on Lollopy Dripper: 50/50-duo-mode composition with in-house, boosted equipment - similar to the set-up in 1997, when the duo produced their first tracks over one week in Santiago, Chile - but with a naturalistic jazz-trio sound.
