A juxtaposition of spirited real-time spontanaeity and refined process, electro-acoustic improvisation and hard rock, The Keening Audacity of Modern Life will put aside any notions of genre and simply keep the heads nodding. A celebratory revival of aesthetic and technical approaches employed by the classic Krautrock movement that meets the electronic expectations of today's average music lover, you could consider this rock n' roll music concrete if you like.
With Nicholas K on guitar, laptop and production, Kenneth Sheild on bass, samples and production, Reyn-Dawg on "Texas St." drums and Ceddzzz on the other two tracks. Let this recording rekindle your rock flame.

Reviewer:brotherhot - - October 26, 2004 Subject: I knew it N.kra is a rock star. He's got his beliefs like the rest of us, sound art morals, an engineers methods and scholars tone, but he's like me, like you, like everyone who ever needed earplugs to enjoy music. Rock music is meant to take over the world. With the Sheild giving us dance lessons on the bass, finally we know there is more than edits and samples, there is that place all rockers go before they die. Put those two sound art stars together with a funky drummer, and you've got modern life. I can't wait, I need my medicine......
