Reviews

vinyl magazine.the netherlands. april 1984
bourbonese qualk "hope" lp

"the lp hope is without bounds, it is the hallucinating debut of bourbonese qualk, the hard-core of the recloose organisation record label. hope is a record with intensity that makes your pulse beat faster, it stops your breath, it makes your teeth chatter and your brain dizzy with excitement. hope is full of excesses, it is loaded with it but never too much, it gets you and drags you on. you will get from hope very clear views with a murdering vitality and a passionate deathly atmosphere, icy parts of filthy noise-so far throbbing gristle never managed to get such penetrating, powerful and significant sound. heavy metal percussion cuts through visionary areas, chunking bass accompanies the delayed orgasm of sunset sex and headstop. this is dripping emotion. this is feverish energy. this is music with balls.hope is coming off on icy heights."
