Whatever Happened To Beer on the Rug records?
Looks Realistic’s VA/A found, but on YouTube after alleged the catalog wash
While I was away from the music-snob blogosphere, something happened to Beer on the Rug records. The links are not there. But they are apparently archived on The Bortchive. The update says:
As of…I guess, 29th of October 2019(?), BOTR has come back…sort of. Their Soundcloud has been properly re-instated with all the tracks still there, but their Bandcamp only has the last three releases on it currently. We’ll continue hosting these backups and alternative links to their back catalogue until they put everything else back up.
I hope they come back in some form. But until then, here are my ancient feelings about one of their releases by Looks Realistic.
A possible silicon-based life is forming on the first half of “Geodis Arc”. It is a close companion to something one can hear in the idyll that Proteus can bring to life. And if that is what the mind is supposed to cruise on, the second half has to compensate with the offspring this alien environment has generated, waving around in ambient liquid pads. And it leads us to a very naturally conceivable shore. A safe one.
