One And Poli - Catch A Bat (1985)

Extremely listenable art/collage/ambience, along the line of Woo, Sack und Blumm, and maybe some of the stuff on Fun Records, like Philip Perkins and Scott Fraser. Occasional vocals remind me a bit of Slapp Happy. The album is from 1985, and I think it was their only release, though the press sheet mentions another in the works. The two members are artists, Peter Bosch and Simone Simons, who have continued to work together as Bosch & Simons. There is a lot of further information on their website, but no mention of this album that I could find. However, the press release insert gives a good bio and details about the grounding of the music. It describes it like this:

On their first record, "One and Poli Catch a Bat," they have successfully woven together western Hi-tec with a bizarre collection of, for want of a better name, 'sound generators.' The use of computer and synthesizer together with ethnic instruments, home-made percussion, and voice have resulted in an atmospheric, sometimes mystical sound unique to themselves.

The record was released by Gerrit Rietveld Academy, and was part of Simons' final exam project.

I've scanned the two inserts that came with my copy.
