Foust! – Jungle Fever [CD]

"Foust! is my first ever solo project in all these long years. Through most of these years, since The XX Committee days, a constant supporter and champion of my work has been the journalist Oskar Spee. I think his email sums up Jungle Fever quite well. “Dear Scott, I received Jungle Fever yesterday. Many thanks. I first played it while I was cooking dinner and found it very odd and perplexing. Later, I sat down in a more relaxed set and setting and gave the recording my full attention at good volume. Astounding! Simply one of the most hallucinogenic recordings I have ever heard. All three ’acts’ have a monotony to them, but the shifting patterns under the surface are superb. I can certainly see this as a drama involving a late 19th century British explorer contracting a tropical disease. The drama is palpable. The three acts, if I may call them that, ’Train Journey-Restless Natives,’ ’Delirium,’ and ’Demise’ are perfect. Really fine work. The strange and obsessive attention to detail of Jungle Fever really reminds me of your film “Another stone in your mighty edifice”. Digipak. Edition of 300"
