Although John Herron and Eric Hausmann had never met, they traded albums with each other through the mail after reading each others reviews in various magazines. They had written to each other and discussed the idea of putting out an album together. Within a few weeks, John sent Eric an hour's worth worth of drums and percussion tracks. Eric immediately went to work, adding guitars to each one. This album deliberately attempts to have both instrumentalists sounds stand side by side on each track. Recorded in 1994. Now remastered in digital CD goodness.
__________
The teaming of Hausmann's guitar with Herron's percussion work could really be a dream come true, and 'Fish Music' delivers the promise at several points along the way. Herron's percussion work is tight and complex, leagues above what you'll hear coming out of 99 of home-based studios. Real pro work and loaded with feeling. And you just never know what to expect from Hausmann's guitar. Sometimes it moans like a vibration, sometimes it stumbles like a fish. Get it and you'll know what I mean.
(Bryan Baker, Gajoob)
