The Album: A Low Carbonation immerses you in the interface between plumbing and low tech - this sound of music is more about construction of new forms than Mary Poppins.

Bricks have been made at least since 4004 BC; bassoons since Roman times; Dictaphones? There's no reason why anachronisms should sound like this. There's every reason for giving the subliminal its head and enjoying the differential equations of office, suction and percussion.

9 tracks, 48 minutes of intrigue and invention. The odd numbered tracks are the trio in studio in the Flat of Angles, Levenshulme, Manchester, and one concert at Over The Top, Sheffield (track 9). The even numbered tracks give another side of Pleasure.

The Beck/Drenching/Pleasure press spoxperson issued the following statement: "They specialise in the manufacture of rotating provisional structures. Bits fall off, bits drive forward, bits shrink back in myriad states of unity and disassemblage. Amid the interrogative inputs of toddlers and the howls of audience, A Low Carbonation, their second album, inks in some unlikely frescos on the imitation security fences which hedge the perimeter of musical life. Pleasure's solo flute interpolations offer a welcome periscopic view into the ambrosial middle distance."

(Spox has since left to be right on).

About the Trio: Drenching and Pleasure formed a partnership 5 years ago of unlikely instruments and mutual miscellaneous bodily functions. In improvised music they are best known for their work with Derek Bailey on the Incus release, Limescale. Drenching is also a poet, and Pleasure a composer. Beck began to work with them in 2000, producing one previous album "Beck/Drenching/Pleasure Live at HOTS-OD" (released on Fenland Hi-Brow Recordings and reviewed The Wire 214 and 217). The Trio has performed in various settings in London and elsewhere in England.
