Editor's review
Toxic recalled toys from the late '70s, a broken vinyl melter… All's fair game for this outfit's spacey art-rock productions. But what could easily be an exercise in inside-joke banality is actually well-executed and glorious in its anachronism. Gomma makes its antique sonics a vocabulary for pretty, even jazzy, post-rock reflections.
Biography
In 1977 Shappire Inc. produced and realeased a musical toy called TapeEater Engine , a small box that could contain and edit over a hundred music tapes and play them random. Sadly the incredible toy was immediatly retired because of its toxic exhalations. Gomma Workshop owns a rare exemplar of the gear and uses it for composing and recording strange flavoured soundtracks.
After Almanacco Moderno ,released by Madcap Collective in 2004, Gomma Workshop started working on a new LP ,this time recording with the TapeEater Engine , a broken vinyl melter and a bunch of curious soundtoys.The album is : Cantina Tapes (on spider?s calligraphy).
