Review by Jen Eardley

The album At The 4th St Cage 183 by John Bender is a unique and experimental piece of work that pushes the boundaries of traditional music. The album features a range of electronic sounds and distorted vocals that create a haunting and otherworldly atmosphere. The tracks are minimalistic and repetitive, yet they manage to captivate the listener's attention with their hypnotic rhythms and eerie melodies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "36A2," which features a driving beat and distorted vocals that sound like they are coming from another dimension. Another highlight is "Journey," which starts with a gentle piano melody before gradually building up to a crescendo of chaotic electronic sounds. The album's closing track, "Spiral," is a slow-burning ambient piece that leaves the listener with a sense of unease and anticipation.

About John Bender

Pioneering minimal synth musician born in 1950 in Nürnberg, Germany. He is the son of a violinist and US Army Lutheran chaplain. Because of this, Bender moved around a lot as a child, living briefly in Nurnberg, Boston, California, Japan, Fort Knox, and New York City before settling in Cincinnati. He played drums in a group called Barbi And Cen with his neighbor Jack Gorski. After Jack moved to Glasgow, Bender bought a keyboard and started working on solo recordings. He mentions Velvet Underground, Can, Tony William, Drumbo, Samuel Beckett, Alfred Jarry, Pere Ubu, Soft Machine, and Robert Ashley as influences. John Bender's music was self-published via cassettes and through the label. After 1985 he disappeared from the music world. However, in 2016 he resurfaced in Europe for a couple of live gigs mainly playing old material with improvisations.
