Double CD of locally produced ultra low fi experimental/noise. CD2 contains interesting noise, compositions, most of which are radio friendly in length, have great production (or lack thereof), drone, hypnotize and otherwise please. CD1 comes across too precious for the most part, trite, in a “yeah, I remember my first acid trip-acoustic guitar-ghetto blaster/4track-tape recorder-candle-lit-room” kind of way, but taken in small doses can be seen as an ode to the stylings of stranger John Fahey (though I’d strongly recommend playing the real thing). Stick to CD2. CD1 (mostly acoustic guitar ramblings): 1) rhythmic w/ synth noises 2) psyche distant “vocals” added, nice noise at end 3) field recordings, footsteps 4-6, 12, 14-17, 22, 24) wanky hipster pseudo folk acoustic guit picking, dishevled, abstract, dissonant, forced, out of tune, “trippy” 7,8) some looping noise along w/ the guit 9) very brief words 10, 19) straightforward picking, doubled up 11) toy-like organ and drum beat, preciously low-fi and offbeat 13) interesting looped noise a la Third Eye Foundation 18) distant piano joins the mindless guitar 20) casio beat, low fi 21, 23) piano 25) low drone, beat CD2 (more varied, good noise): 1) mostly low freq distorto noise, harsh in places 2) organ tone w/ feedbacky sounds, sublime 3) hgh pitched tones, treated noise, guitar 4) sparse rumbled tone layers, dreamy 5) harsh noise 6) electronic tones tempered w/ low drones, nice 7) like pounding your way through the darkened hold of a steel tanker far away at sea 8) sparse feedback, distorto tones 9) sparse percussive tones 10) swirly spooky sounds 11) noise w/ clangy tones 12) lovely layers and washes of harsh noise 13) reverby banging 14) subdued sparseness grows harsh drony slowly, narcotic, w/ electronics entering the fray 15) fine distorto wash, very pretty 16) synth noise- acoustic guits appear 17) noise collage, buried TV voices 18) good creepy drony synth noise | ||
