We are extraordinarily happy to announce the re-issue of one of our all time favourite albums. Peter Hope, singer in "The Box", Cabaret Voltaire collaborator, chanteur extraordinaire, has recorded an album full of the most unique and strange sounds with "The Jonathan S. Podmore Method". This band consisted amongst others of Jono Podmore who nowadays records with Kumo and collaborates with Cans Irmin Schmidt; Alan Fisch of Hula and Workforce and Charlie Collins of The Box and Clock DVA. Also included in this re-issue is the entire "Kitchenette" 12". If you ever liked bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA, Hula, Chakk, this is the direction in which this album goes, but be warned: some of the sounds on here are much stranger than anything the aforementioned bands have ever recorded. Lots of non-musical sound sources are used on here, the style varies from Sheffield funk to Ambient and Vocal experiments, the lyrics are fantastic, the cover stunning. A must-have and a highlight in the Klanggalerie catalogue.

"The methods used by Jonathan S. Podmore and Peter Hope on Dry Hip Rotationwere quite oblique as far as strategies go. Storming the studio with little more than a few scrounged AKS synths, a violin, harmonica, and whatever else happened to be lying around they managed to smash together their art punk masterpiece in a mere six days, presumably so they could rest on the seventh. The majority of the music produced on the album does not even come from sources generally thought of as musical instruments. Everything from a Creda 400 tumble drier to toilets and scaffolding pipes are used (Joe Meek would have been proud). The outstanding lyricism and vocal performance of Peter Hope coupled with Jonathan’s tape loops (several meters in length) make for a riveting listen."
