twenty years after their conception, the frantic sessions are finally made available to the public in a collaborative effort by raubbau and ant-zen. an old school lesson for a whole new generation of disciples: oscillating between noise and rhythm, drones and ambience, these 14 tracks are drenched in minimal monotony and repetition, seething with feedback, topped off with the occasional distorted croon of m.o.a.t.a. - omen. 'frantic sessions' preserves the original raw and unpolished sound of its age, which is now all red-and-hot again, stirring it with the underground clubs and via the likes of the berghain into a larger crossover crowd. history has swung full circle, and the full fascination and youthful energy of this material feels just right - now!
