Creepy cinematic (as in sci-fi horror) experimental noise, old school industrial feel, loops, drones, analog synth and tape delay. All tracks radio-friendly in length, interesting if not creepy. No artist credits on one-sheet or cd liner, but as this is a product of local label Respiscent I wouldn’t be surprised if this dropped from the bleeding vagina of a recording studio brutally raped by maurading members of Caroliner/Sun City Girls, et al.

1) dark spooky sparseness
2) very cool noise coming in waves, plumes, creepy
3) plodding soundtrack to a slime monster devouring a bomb destroyed city
4) more subdued and ambient, very cinematic, dark
5) starts with a rooster crow, more hands-on feel with identifiable sounds of glass, a familiar synth tone
6) somewhat blippy, still creepy
7) some cool buried word samples with radio broadcast quality, very creepy, gets noisey
8) near-ambient white noise with low tone to start, evolves with mild high tones, some sparse backwards word samples, nice, chill but creepy
