Tech Riders – Of The Lost Ark cassette
"The De Waard/Bjerga duo has performed several concerts and these two new titles nearly double their amount of available recordings. On the tape “Of the Lost Ark” (another pun on the band’s name, like their earlier “In the Sky”), each side sounds like an audio play. The composition is succinct and episodic, shifting from one sonic area to another like changing scenes. Both sides seem to be built out of radio static and blurred voices piling over each other in clouds of narrative confusion, with gently hovering feedback tones linking one mass of crackles and organic creaks to the next. There’s a lovely bit near the close of the second side that reminds me of a boat rocking on rough seas, eventually stilled by a rising warm electronic hug." HS / Vital Weekly
