We blijven nog even in België. Het is inmiddels alweer een tijdje geleden dat ik op mrbungle.nl in de muziek van Silvester Anfang ben gedoken. Van het Vlaamse collectief is ondertussen de samenstelling enigszins gewijzigd, en is ook de naam - à la Amon Düül – geëvolueerd tot Sylvester Anfang II . Twee nieuwe platen in amper een maand tijd is een goede reden om mij weer eens te laten meeslepen door muziek dat ooit ter wereld kwam als "funeral folk". Perzische Tapijten is het nieuwste [...]

![Gumshoe's Top-25 of 2009 [Curiosities #27]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2195822_lg.jpg)
I've finally decided to give in and post my Top-25. With so many things to review it's easy to slack but I gotta get down to BUSiness here. A few bands endeared themselves to me especially heavily this year, for the first time: Tonestartssbandht (the only group with more than one album), The Fresh & Onlys (whom I've been raving about all year) and Ganglians . They made 2009 particularly interesting, but there was a whole lot of goodness [...]
![Sylvester Anfang II – s/t – Aurora Borealis Records [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2193106_lg.jpg)
The build-up to Sylvester Anfang II - from the band of the same name, formerly just Sylvester Anfang - has been ridiculous. I saw it in a record store about 6 months ago and became obsessed with obtaining it once it absconded from said record store upon my next trip. Now that I have it in my hands I must admit, the art is better than I imagined, a cross between Earthless ' album covers, Cypress Hill 's Temple of [...]
I'd like to think that if I joined some sort of cult we would pass most of our time by indulging in mad, quasi-religious metal jams. Of course, in reality it would all be bum rape and arguments about whose turn it was to buy the lentils. The combined talents of the cult of my [...]
In much the same way that Amon Düül birthed a new incarnation in Amon Düül II, Flemish funereal folk stalwarts Sylvester Anfang have begat the expanded and decidedly more psychedelic Sylvester Anfang II. The expansion comes in the form of players from Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat, Ignatz and Burial Hex's/Zodiacs'/Sunburned's Clay Ruby who work together to drive the band to new depths. Throbbing with the same death march aesthetics that permeated their previous works but adding a curdling, crackling electric element to the mix that somehow plunges their sparse past deeper into the night; the band have [...]
