Carcrash International [US]


Carcrash International is with the Cleopatra label what This Mortal Coil is with 4AD: a kind of super-group consisted the elite of the musicians of the label, concentrated around a joint project. One thus finds here Dave Roberts, bass player of Sex Gang Children; Bari-Bari and David Glass, both old Christian Death prevailing at the time in Mephisto Walz; and some additional musicians at various stages. The planing guitars of Bari-Bari, the precise and firm striking of David Glass and the low voice of Dave Roberts, serious and cordial, is placed slightly at the withdrawal in the mixing, which gives an atmosphere particular to the band, an impression of reserve which does not hide of it less one subjacent storm.
