The twin stars of electronica and art rock move into alignment this Friday 15th February to mark the onset of An Electric Storm, an unlikely but rather pleasing meeting of the minds at Elephant & Castle's Corsica Studios.
The now Chris-less Clark will be back on home turf and turning dragon for the evening: I am expecting a po-faced set of joyless, ugly hard techno aimed squarely at the males in the room, in-keeping with his most unwelcoming new album, but don't let that put you off...
Hopefully the pair of Berliners flown in for support should make up for the testosterone-fest. Khan last year pulled on a pair of rabbit ears and stepped up to the mic for latest album Who Never Rests, which receives a further flogging tonight; 2001's Say Goodbye with inimitable long-term collaborator Julee Cruise meanwhile remains a true blue anthem round these parts to this day. Hoary old Disko B rocker Electronicat will also be dropping by to peddle last year's Chez Toi album.
Throw in Minima's live band soundtrack accompaniment to the screening of the Cabinet of Dr Caligari, the Noise of Art crew's own audio-visual soundclash, and an extremely promising sounding absinthe den hosted by UK ambassadors for Krautrock the Kosmische DJs, and all in all you've got a perfectly valid way to spend your Friday evening.
Oh, and if you do happen to be in the neighbourhood, pop by the Corsica Studios again on March 12th for another evening in the company of the Kosmische DJs, joined this time by the fuzzy psychedelics of the legendary Silver Apples. Or else stay at home on a Friday night and catch the rather inconveniently timed Kosmische DJs radio show between 22.30 and 23.30 on the incomparable Resonance FM.
