False Fangs for Old Werewolves CD





Ever since the demise of Contrastate five years ago, there has been a void
in the experimental music scene that no other act has managed to fill.
Their diverse creative output, manifestated as sweeping electronics and
sound manipulation together with theatrical spoken word, was nothing less
than mindblowing in its complexity and originality.

Fin de Siecle Media hereby does mankind a great favour by presenting a collection
of rarities, singles and previously unreleased material. Contrastate believed
that rather than trying to re-create studio material, new songs would be
specifically written to be performed live. It was also seen as a practical
matter of attempting to move on each time. And unlike other bands who contribute
rejected album material to compilations, Contrastate treated each project with
utmost respect and dedication - and a great sense of humour. For these reasons,
their music demands - and deserves - your full attention. You won't regret it.

This retrospective contains thirteen tracks recorded between 1989-1999, and among
the many rare pieces is the last ever Contrastate recording - written for the album
they were working on when they decided to go separate ways. Furthermore, you will
also find tracks from since long deleted cassettes, vinyls and CDs, and perhaps
even the Backwards Diva!
