Just in time for new year's eve, it's Moinlabs' great pleasure 
to announce yet another album release:
Weird Specialist contains 
material by Straschill from the timespan of early 2004 (just after the release 
of the last solo album Neinnein auf dem kleinen Weg) up 
to the present day. Just like on preceding albums, the material consists solely 
of freely improvised music using live looping 
technology. 
 
As this is 
album is a set of material created independently of each other from a time span 
of close to four years, sometimes even stemming from different sources - in 
addition the studio tracks, we find two live tracks from the Y2K6 International Live Looping Festival 
and an outtrack from a kybermusik session - the approach 
seems just like that of a "compilation" album. It is obviously due to 
the skill of the editing "Weird Specialist" that this manifold of building 
blocks (the title track alone consists of ten individual recordings) form a 
homogenous, if slightly whimsical whole. 
 
As with the 
last release, this album is available as a free download from www.jamendo.com 
- donations will nevertheless be gladly accepted, as well as any comments and 
online reviews. And those people who actually buy a real CD will no doubt be 
enchanted by the cover art, which has - as with the SAUBER! album - been done by Anna 
Bejenke. 
 
And with that, I'd like to wish you a perfect start into the 
new year with that music,
 
your weird specialist,
