review by Frans de Waard

The name Hermit I associate with true noise, along the lines of Bastard Noise, but I must admit I only heard a few of his works. Eric Boros, the man behind Hermit, toured Europe in 2002 and played various shows in conjunction with others, such as Fritz Welch and Marylise Frecheville and some were solo shows. If you have no visual connection to the shows, like me, than it's hard to form an idea how it looks like. In the two collaborative pieces, we are loosely played acoustic objects, like small metal plates, glass or any others. Sounds fascinating; would have loved to see that. In 'Cabaret Experimental' we hear laughter, Boros telling a joke and some noise, but also moments of quietness. Then there is a short remix of Gordon Lightfoot, which has a dense psychedelic synth and rhythm and a longer remix made by Karl Mohr, whoever he is, of likewise disco rhythms mixed with noise. These last two pieces are a bit out of line with the rest, and for reasons unclear to me included here. Otherwise a fine example of what noise can also be, a bit along the lines of the old Schimpfluch records.
