Deathprod box RFI

So the Supersilent producer/agitator guy just released a four-CD box set of solo stuff. Is the material (drawn from various solo projects over the last decade, apparently) that different from disc to disc? Any pithy descriptions? Worth the investment? Curio/curious only? Inquiring minds want to know before they sink the money into it.

I woud like to know too, as I am a big fan of Supersilent.

Pitchfork had a review of the Morals and Dogmas CD a couple days back. Seems to be apocalyptic.

Morals and Dogma is really excellen (Chris Dahlen reviewed it for Pitchfork); it's 1/4 of the box, I know that, but I haven't heard the rest of it.

Pulled this box out for the first time in a year or so. Fucking fantastic. Currently blasting Treetop Drive. First track is surges of violin together with squalls of sound (probably a treated violin or something else), sounding like seagulls.

Anyone else have this box? Has Deathprod released anything else since?

love "dead people's things".

Just been checking the availability of this (was thinking of a gift). Seems hard to come by now, which is a shame. Just amazing.

Morals and Dogma is devastating.

Duke, there was a six track 10" released in 2006 that collected 5 remixes by Deathprod along with one piece that was previously included on a Rune Grammofon compilation: http://tinyurl.com/ns2css

I was looking to pick up the box set again recently after regrettably selling it a few years back and it seems fairly easy to get hold of still. Ebay, Amazon, Discogs and the Rune Grammofon site all have it available at the time of writing.

Hey Barnaby, I forgot about that 10". I do actually have it, but haven't dug it out in a while.

Just ordered this:

"'Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night' seemed to go fairly unnoticed by the great listening public when it was initially released on a small cd-only pressing by the French DSA label back in 2004, but has since become the stuff of legend. To many this has become one of the great 'lost' death ambient albums, and an all too-rare full-length appearance from one of the most revered producers of the century - Helge Sten, aka Deathprod. On is actually the collaborative project of Sylvain Chauveau and Steven Hess, but their recordings here were passed onto to Sten for a complete overhaul. As a producer, Sten molds the source material into the kind of menacing analog atmosphere established on his classic 'Morals & Dogma' long-player, leaving you with one of the finest examples of the genre this side of Deathprod's own peerless four-disc boxset. The real beauty of this record lies in the richness of its sound matter: you'll never encounter a drab low-frequency hum on this record. When you gaze beneath the surface you're always sure to make out something buried deeply within its dusky obscurities. Even during its most oppressive moments, such as the writhing, concealed darkness of 'Facade' there's a loaded atmosphere that plays on the mind - its vast sonorous clanking somehow reminiscent of Quatermass II's unseen monstrous mass, thrashing around in the industrial plant's cooling towers. Equally, much of 'Your Naked Ghost...' sounds like being stuck at the bottom of the ocean in a submarine only to hear someone knocking from the outside. It creepily plays on the subconscious in ways most records couldn't possibly hope to, resounding with a hollow metallic quality that conveys the utmost sense of sonic profundity - leaving you with a vacuum you can't help but fill with all manner of gloomy associations. Despite the sinister undercurrents, this is an unmistakably beautiful hour of music. From the penetrating blip narratives of 'In The Forest Of The Night' to the entombed industrial timbres of 'The Lonesome Poetry Of Mark Rothko', every moment of this once desperately overlooked album is incredibly special. In short, it's an absolute must."

Has anyone heard his new album with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones?

That's funny, I was listening to Morals and Dogma and wondering what had happened to him..
