Under the banner De Fabriek, a respectable number of affiliated sound artists have gathered for this new album, released in 2026. De Lopende Band means: The Conveyor Belt; an appropriate name for the machine-like, repetitive noises and loops typical for many De Fabriek releases. Overall the tracks are more up-tempo, though, than many of their other albums.
They dedicated it to Scott Foust, who must have been a close friend considering his own underground sound reputation (Like in The Tobacconists, or, with Karla Borecky, Idea Fire Company). The CD sits in a silkscreened black box, handnumbered (150 copies), which also contains a stamped piece of pianola scroll and a möbius band. Nice artwork by Martijn Hohmann!
