NON FINIRe mai - KATZENJAMMER (CDR)

Three years after releasing debut album Pilotinstaller, Slovenian extraordinary Ales Uratnik a.k.a. NON FINIRe mai, produced a new masterpiece entitled "Katzenjammer". It's inspired in part by the Rudolf Dirks comic The Katzenjammer Kids from 1897 featured Hans and Fritz, twins in the battle against any form of authority. The extended meaning of this word today is unhappiness, depression, the more general sense of what one might call a case of the willies. Alternate songs presents computerize and complex compositions without musical barriers and genre fixations. Electro acoustic compound and a true trail blazer of free form sonic art. Album is featuring experimental drummer and percussionist Adam Kriney (ex. The National Blue) from New York City as well as mastermind Camden Chamberlain (Deliccato) and his lovely wife Vanessa (Geisha Glory) from Salt Lake City. This CD presents a cocktail of avant rock, electronic, jazz, industrial, folk and experimental music. It's beautiful, darkly seductive and absolutely brain busting.

Release date: 21.3.2005

Katzenjammer first responses:

...after reviewing hundred of CD's a year I can say that is a rare craft indeed. Sean Sullivan (reviewer for SPLENDID)

Clear blew me away. Comparisons are hard, a dark Urban Zappa might come close. Just get it!!! Chris Christou (ETHERFYSH)

The production is stellar. I can honestly say I've never heard a work of it's kind. Jay Miller

... this sounds to me as really revolutionary music. The imagination and sense of surprise and discovery that this music contains and exhales constantly is really mind boggling.  Yes, I have never heard anything quite like that. Richard Poulin Progressive music society

NON FINIRe mai - PILOTINSTALLER (CDR)

NON FINIRe mai is the brainchild of the eclectic artist Ales Uratnik from Slovenia.
"Pilotinstaller" is the title of his debut album. A phantasmagoric mixture of ambiance, avant rock, electronic, industrial and jazz. Imaginative and brain-busting work reverberating with fresh ideas, makes NON FINIRe mai unique and original.

Release date: 1.6.2002

Reviews:

... in our opinion a brilliant and innovative piece of work. Leigh Silberg (UNITED GLOBAL ARTISTS)

"Pilotinstaller" is a very diverse album full of great songs and great moods. Highly recommended. WETWORKS ELECTROZINE MAGAZINE (U.S.A.)

Well, NON FINIRe mai went over the boundaries of imagination. It's a proud work of art. BASEBOG MAGAZINE (ITALY)

On the whole it is, how to say… otherwise. It’s not what I’d call drone. It’s not what I’d call IDM. It’s not really what I’d call electronica or techno. I don’t know what to call it, really. Maybe we should just call it Slovenian, addendum that it is good and interesting, and leave it at that.
SPONGE (U.S.A.)

SOP from the album "Katzenjammer" was chosen for a song of the week by the radio MARS. Maribor (25.4.2005)

MUSKA MAGAZINE/ May, 2005/ NON FINIRe mai - "Katzenjammer" / We're dealing with so many different ideas that somebody else, more racional, would record five different albums and release them under three different names. ... Hallo Mike Patton? Janez Golic

THE HAIRLESS HEART HERALD/ August, 2005/ It is what I imagine to be soundtracks to films or television programmes, but in the opening few tracks, there is a hint of King Crimson, Radiohead and modern trance music. ...on the whole it is quite unique musically, and when you reach the end of the opus, it leaves you slightly confused but on the other hand, intrigued. THE HAIRLESS HEART HERALD (U.K)
SPLENDID/ July, 2005/ Katzenjammer's best song is probably "SOP". ...there's as much Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode in the mix as there is Motörhead. That's what sets NON FINIRe mai apart from so many noise/electronica bands. SPLENDID EZINE (U.S.A)
