Press Reviews
"We drove out in a van and filled the back with
bottles of polish beer because that was all they
sold at the first market we saw. The bottles were
all shapes, colors, and sizes - a stained glass
rainbow of polish beer. In a thick eastern European
accent the girl at the register had asked me if
i liked polish beer. I lied and smiled. I'm not
sure i had ever had polish beer before and, if i
had, it had not been memorable either. But the bottles
in the back of the van rolled around and made a
beautiful noise. As we would later find out, most
of the beers we selected tasted like slightly
alcoholic RC cola, which is not necessarily a bad
thing, but not what we were looking for at the
time. But, as i said, the bottles were beautiful,
and added a perfect percussion to curtis mayfield's
falsetto and scorching guitar that poured out of
the speakers as we left the city and made the
rainy afternoon Japanese hardcore."
- from "My Travels with the Amsterdam Suite", Jacques Ferrier, Sept. 2002.
