The Black Eg - Karel, Emil, Otto and Kurt Von Dämmerung

The Von Dämmerung brothers make their "first and only debut" at London's Subliminal Revolutions club in the summer of 1994. 3 Incredibly long assults, recorded so dubiously that you can't hear Karel Von Dämmerung's wheelchair as it trundles past.

Sydney Meats says: I found the live show very impressive, if perhaps a little samey after a while.

Ed Carter says: the biggest disappointment was that they actually tried to make it kinda dancy and they didn't try and repeat the Black Eg album tracks. I would have gladly paid twice as much to see the genuine, original Eg material rather than what turned out to be a mediocre techno attempt by people wearing silly egg hats.

David Whittemore says: depending what you were expecting, this was either boring, or interesting. the beats were just slightly less white-boy than from, say, the JBC tune Line Of Death, but it was the right tempo to dance to. the best part was what was done over the top of the beats. the interplay between the synth and the guitar was good. even though the dancers would have moved to nearly anything.
