Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2006-02-17
Lots of strange (& sometimes funny) ambient, noise, experimental pieces.
(((((1)))) Funny & creepy loops/sound treatments of kitty-cats meowing & hissing.
((2)) Really disturbing, screaming & other manic voices. Could make for an insane sound bed.
(((3))) Minimal, vibration of notes from guitar, contra bass, French horn, et. al.
(((4))) Pretty, slightly dub, sounding clavichord repetition piece.
((((5)))) Nice set of ambient-ish sounds starting & stopping at different intervals.
(((6))) High pitched craziness.
(((7))) Fun, silly sample art madness with voice recognition programs.
((((8)))) Nice, mellow 70’s style computer electronics.
(((9))) Consistently rhythmic, low, bouncy, echoing sounds.
(((10))) Trippy sci-fi weird, short ambient piece.
((((11))) Short piece that sounds like it’s tweaking test tones.
(((12))) Brooding random guitar harmonics.
(((13))) Very minimal, sounds like musical saw or theremin.
((14)) Noisy painful feedback dominated gets semi-musical. Goes on WAAAY too long!
DISC II
((((1)))) Slow, dark waves of enveloping ambience
((((2))) Blippy with each note’s space becoming closer & closer together.
(((((3))))) Moody, movie-like creepy strings. You know something big is going to happen.
((((4)))) Very nice & soundtrack-ish solo piano but drags on too long.
(((5))) Jazzy slowness wit bass clarinet but much too repetitive
((6)) Video game-y, ringtone hell! Would’ve liked it more if I hadn’t heard these tones 8 billion times already.
(((7))) Pretty interesting use of the NYC Metrocard turnstiles.
((8)) Weird mix of drones & pitches which move in & out of the mix.
((9)) Same as the last track only occasionally louder.
