                  Klimperei, a coupled to and for life duet from Lyon France 
                    - is very prolific. More than 10 years ago, "Tout Seul sur 
                    la Plage en Hiver" (Alone on the Beach in Winter) was their 
                    first production. And then "Tout Seul..." was already the 
                    result of a selection from more than 5 h of original recordings. 
                    Because this duet is prolix indead. Giving birth to musical 
                    miniatures seems to be their way to disseminate their ideas, 
                    their mind waves, and virtualy their genes. At the Klimperei's, 
                    they are doing a lot, with everyday tools that do "kling klang" 
                    when used. Artistic expression is vital for this duet. And 
                    it works well. "Tout Seul ..." is representative of the myriad 
                    fragile emotions from their music. Very well-built miniatures 
                    despite their apparent lack of balance. They are bearing witness 
                    to home-made recording. One can still find the same desire 
                    for simplicity, for apparent amateurism even, of a certain 
                    kind of french surrealistic scene. 
                    From our point of view, "Tout Seul..." not only is Klimperei's 
                    founder CD, but also one that reveals a 100% spontaneousness. 
                    A bit like Johnny and his son; a duet for life. 
                    Irremediably foundating. 
            The Russian Interview 
                  Early Times 
                    Collection 
                    Putting forward un-new recordings: gold & times, filled 
                    with an out-of-fashion genuiness. A music of feelings like 
                    some old out of time whisky. An anti-revival binge because 
                    milleniums come one after the other and we don't care.  
                   
            "From behind the dunes faces appear and disappear, laughing. 
              They give a pantomime which doesn't make sense to us - and anyway 
              we're too busy striding along the beach, digging our heels into 
              the wet sand, following exactly along the edge drawn by the foam, 
              the salt. We didn't notice when we left the restricted area; we 
              go on walking, we feel that something's wrong, we dare not look 
              up. 
              Some time later when the hovercraft passes it will be time to turn 
              back, it will be easier."
