Foraje puturi

Dr. Lloyd îşi drese vocea.
—    Mă gîndeam la ceva. Doamnă jBantry, spuneţi că şi dumneavoastră aţi fost bol-navă ?
—    Ba bine că nu ! Şi Arthur ! Şi toţi cei-lalţi.
—    Deci, toţi, zise doctorul. întelegeţi la ce mă gîndesc ? Cine a plănuit totul a actionat ciudat : fie că a mers la marele risc, fie că n-a ţinut cont de viaţa niciunuia. E greu de crezut că un om poate, în mod voit, să otră-vească opt oameni în scopul înlăturării unuia singur.
—    înteleg unde bateţi, zise Sir Henry me-ditativ. Mărturisesc că şi eu m-am gîndit la acest aspect.
—    Putea să se otrăvească şi pe sine, adă-ugă Jane Helier.
—    A lipsit cineva de la masă în seara aceea ? întrebă Miss Marple.
Doamna Bantry clătină din cap :
—    Toată lumea a fost acolo.
—    în afară de domnul Lorimer, presupun, draga mea. El nu locuia în casă, nu ?
—    Nu, dar în seara aceea a cinat cu ,noi, zise doamna Bantry.
—    Aha ! Miss Marple îşi schimbă vocea : Asta-i cu totul altceva.

Se arătă încruntată şi uşor agitată.
—    Ce proastă sînt, murmură ea, chiar proastă.
—    Vă mărturisesc că acest aspect rnă sur-prinde, Lloyd, zise Sir Henry. Cum se putea asigura cineva că fata şi numai fata va primi doza fatală ?
—    Nu putea, zise doctorul. Asta mă face să cred altceva. Dar dacă presupunem că nu fata a fost victima prevăzută ?
—    Cum ?
—    în toate cazurile de otrăvire cu mîn-care rezultatul este * nesigur. Cîtiva oameni mănîncă aceeaşi mîncare. Ce se întîmplă ? Unul sau doi sînt uşor bolnavi, doi sau mai multi sînt serios afectati, iar unul moare. Cam aşa e : nimic nu e sigur. Dar există ca-zuri unde intervine un alt factor. Digitalina este un medicament care acţionează direct asupra inimii — după cum v-am mai spus, este şi prescris în unele cazuri. Acum, în casă exista o singură persoană care suferea de inimă. Dacă el era victima aleasă ? Doza care pentru ceilalţ.i nu ar fi fost fatală ar fi fost fatală pentru el — cam aşa trebuie să fi gîn-dit ucigaşul. Că lucrurile s-au întîmplat alt-fel, este dovada a ceea   ce   tocmai   vă   spu-

NEW MUSIC: LUDUS PINSKY

Ridiculous name. Like a villain in a cheap Victorian melodrama. Visions of Ludus (Ludicrous) twirling his moustache as the hero is fated to die horribly but then he talks too much the hero escapes and we all nod off to sleep. Meanwhile, I’m tired, so expect grumpiness. 

Of the tracks Ludus says: Tracks constructed with analog rigour and a futuristic rather than rétro sound . Ludus Pinsky develops and assembles himself the equipment he works with to obtain the kind of sound he needs. The 4 tracks in this EP range from tribal electronics as in …….. to futuristic pop as in ……., from the film-score-like theme of “Nothing is as it appears” to electronic disco as in …. That’s really what it says. Which isn’t terribly helpful. The record company do try a bit harder with: “Ludus Pinsky is Lapo Lombardi’s alter ego, a multi-talented Florentine artist, well known in the Italian Reggae/Dub scene. Among others he worked with Ice MC and Il Generale. More recently he’s been sharing Alexander Robotnick’s passion for analog synths, collaborating with him on two projects, Italcimenti and The Analog Session. This is his first solo EP, featuring 4 tracks constructed with analogue rigour and a futuristic rather than retro sound.”

Umma Flute takes the acidic path from the outset, weaving a hypnotic feel like it’s Harthouse 1992. A classic acid sound, like the last 20 years never happened. But in a good way.

Nothing Is As It Appears goes for a more Moroder style synth sound, like a lost track from Midnight Express or even Blade Runner. A bit of Kraftwerk added to the mix with the vocodered stentorian vocals. A gradually escalating track which peaks briefly towards the end. Cinematic stuff.

A IS FOR ABFAHRT

Abfahrt is German for “Departure”. It was and is a German record label, the creation of Torsten Fenslau.

The track “Come Into My Life” (sometimes called “Come Into My Live”) was licensed to the influential Guerilla Records in 1993. The track had originally been issued the year before by Torsten on his own Abfahrt label. The Guerilla version benefits from a better cut than the original release. It was released on Guerilla with a radio edit, an Orbital remix and Exploding Plastic Inevitable remixes (Exploding Plastic Inevitable was David Holmes, with Jagz Kooner and Garn Burns).

Fenslau's collaboration with Jürgen "Nozie" Katzmann yielded excellent results on the first Abfahrt release, "Alone (It's Me)", which appeared as early as 1989. Arguably one of the first ever trance records, "Alone" illustrates the oft-forgotten fact that new beat and trance were indeed close cousins, and; Katzmann's vocals are regarded to have worked very well on that track."Come Into My Life" is another story, though. Listen to the Radio Edit for a string of clichés so cringe-making that even a C&W singer might have rejected it.

Interestingly, Guerilla's label manager Dick O'Dell apparently had big plans for Abfahrt. In autumn 1993, he said “No one knows anything about them. So, I’ll be able to invent them, play around with the irony of the whole pop thing for a bit. KLF have done that better than anyone else and this will give me a chance to indulge that side of me.” However, those plans came to a sudden end with Fenslau's untimely death some months later.

Digging around, I found that the original Abfahrt release included a mix that didn’t make it to the UK. It is an instrumental - the Breathless mix. I never knew it existed, let alone heard it. But if anyone reading this has, I’d love to hear it.
