| FIT & LIMO - The Serpent Unrolled | |||||||
Three years have passed since Fit & Limo's last real album ("Autre Monde", 1995), now the public is permitted another earful of their sound alchemy. The serpent has unrolled and the muses are smiling. Numerous well-known and strange instruments (new ones like church organ, Veeh-harp and xylophone complement the usual Fit & Limo suspects, such as violin, autoharp, sitar, mandolin, glockenspiel, piano, clay drums, bongos etc.) pair up with nursery rhymes and cryptic messages. Beyond the "traumtür" lies a medieval fairytale world of cranes and toads, basilisks and lions, spirals and stones, dew and cauldrons. A labyrinth of sounds, noises, and harmonies unfolds. Fit & Limo playfully celebrate their unique mystic folk incorporating elements of American acid/Middle Eastern/Celtic/British (Incredible String Band, Caedmon) folk on the way to the third millennium. Beside twelve originals "The Serpent Unrolled" contains two cover versions: Grateful Dead's "Dark Star" and "Images of April" by Tom Rapp / Pearls Before Swine (Fit & Limo already covered a PBS song, "Surrealist Waltz," for the Tom Rapp tribute compilation "For the dead in space"). Male/female duo Limo & Mrs. Fit are based in Altdorf (Bavaria, Germany). Stefan "Limo" Lienemann's (ex-Shiny Gnomes) current solo-project is the experimental/Kraut/space/drone/folk band Discolor, he also recently collaborated with "Cosmic Gardener" Riff on the "Fim Froil" album. |
