Badalementi beauty-thru-terror vibes--ghostly rattles, howling cellos, suffocating drones. Highly recommended.

And if you're into the drifty sound art stuff. Ghostly just put out a pretty essential comp. Lots of heavy hitters: Leyland Kirby, Svarte Grainer, Aiden Baker, Kyle Bobby Dunn, etc

just got 4 million dental work/placenta recordings CDs in the mail. i'm noisy. new bastard noise/actuary split on Loveearthmusic is rilly good by the way. if you like that sort of thing.
― scott seward, Thursday, 23 June 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
whoa, that rrr is next level.
really want to hear that bastard noise/actuary split. bastard noise still in live band powerviolence mode, right? the split with the endless blockade kills.
not that lots of their more "noise" stuff didn't. rogue astronaut is a really sick, massive record.
― original bgm, Thursday, 23 June 2011 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
actually no this bastard thing isn't powerviolence. more like fucked experimenting. sounds cool.

was way into hecker's speculative solution on my first listen last night. if you're a fan of disorienting maryanne amacher-style tone manipulation (often working with short loops), jump on this. don't want to spoil anything but the last track had more than a few jaw-dropping moments.
classy packaging with some small metal balls rolling around the box for some reason.

didn't read much of the hefty booklet (kept getting distracted by what I was hearing) but I'm looking forward to digging into "metaphysics and extro-science fiction."
― original bgm, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
Wow that looks stunning. I love packaging you can really sink your teeth into. Such a contrast to flimsy j-cards and the like.
― AWeAreVEV0 (Spectrist), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
the inside of the front half of the box also a nice, solid red. gorgeous stuff.

good look for future releases by all and sundry.

this Israel Martínez album, El Hombre Que Se Sofoca, is really great. it's part of new the sub rosa "framework series," and this is easily the best of the handful i've heard

slow-moving soundscapes were field recordings of say, subway trains, that slowly morph into enveloping, suffocating noize

i forget (read it in a review somewhere i think), is this one of those ones that comes with a warning so you don't damage your speakers/ears? because i got a gloriously sick feeling when one of the tracks came on today.
― j., Thursday, 14 July 2011 04:20 (twelve years ago) link
The small metal balls represent one of the key ideas behind the album (linked to chaos theory, uncontrollable variables in output) ; they roll through the box perfectly unpredictable.
― Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 14 July 2011 09:02 (twelve years ago) link
oh, of course. :-)
listened again last night - sure, the way the recording interacts with the room it plays in and how you're positioned in it definitely adds an element of chaos. but I think what I really like is how these "uncontrollable variables" interact with such a rigid, precise, and DIGITAL composition. just these tight, cutting slabs of sound needling/bludgeoning you until the rug is pulled out and you're abruptly tossed into the next sound palette. really powerful.
and yes, j. I recall reading some warning not to listen on headphones on the emego press release. I certainly wouldn't advise it.
― original bgm, Thursday, 14 July 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
i was just… sitting in a room… listening to the sound of my speakers… with metal balls rolling around inside them.

was way into hecker's speculative solution on my first listen last night. if you're a fan of disorienting maryanne amacher-style tone manipulation
man, you're not kidding. that last track belongs on a maryanne amacher tribute / cover record.
sounds great on headphones to me! but it's definitely going to sound better over speakers. some of this I recognize from his last SF show at yerba buena.

Peterlicker's Nicht on Editions Mego is compulsory listening. This was Pita's first group in the late '80s and they've got back together to make this very menacing record.
