V.A. - Anost - A Number Of Small Things

 A Collection Of Morr Music Singles From 2001 - 2007

Not a big deal. A number of small things. Seven inches, 45 rpm. Two songs, sometimes three. Released on the most euphoric, the most direct of all formats that has ever been invented by pop music. Initially, it has been used in order to feed music boxes. In the times, when pop was still young. And each song meant to be a promise.

The beginning of A number of small things – the seven-inch-series of the morr music family – was a promise on loan: a wonderful song by the splendid band múm: "There's a number of small things". Now, these wonderful songs get more and more. What began with Bernhard Fleischmann's single "Nico" in 2003 grows and sounds and sounds and grows. In this case, single does not necessarily mean an outtake from an album.

The fewest of the anost-releases are taken directly from a morr music album or even the production process of a morr music album. They are independent shortstories. They tell about meetings of persons: The one of the Icelandic Benni Hemm Hemm with the Swede Jens Lekman, for instance. They both are entertainers of a reduced opulence (anost 016).

They tell of a passion for someone else's songs, for instance Masha Qrella allowing "Don't stop the dance" by Brian Ferry to shine – a little hit on the radio in autumn 2006 (anost 013). And John Yoko (aka Markus Acher and Valerie Trebeljahr) humming Smog's "The morning paper" in fragile beauty (anost 006). Or isan, the two British sound-seekers, permitting the piano miniatures by Eric Satie to oscillate (anost 007).

There is a length of five minutes, twice. There is not more time on a seven-inch left. If one goes about it well an eternity can become out of it. A big deal, a number of small things.
