Following up on the brilliant debut on Geographic records, "All the Birds Were Anarchists" continues to define September Collective's engaging approach to electronic listening music. The record features three highly active musicians - Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot and Mapstation), Barbara Morgenstern and Polish born musician Paul Wirkus - in a series of well edited sessions. While most parts of the record are originally based on improvisations, the result is surprisingly consistent and ego-free, which displays September Collective's ability to focus on the idea of a band and its social context. However, references to improvisation and standart electronica might be misleading as "All the Birds Were Anarchists" strength lies within carefully constructed song formats, which can easily be fragmented to subsequently re-organize an unexpected new strand of ideas. Fragile explorations of textures and drum samples are tied together by Morgenstern's delicate piano treatments and Schneider's smooth synth sequences.
