fucking few sounds on the CC side of this tape have any place in the naturally occurring
acoustic world. Which is nice. Kinda sounds like if maybe instead of all of
history’s teenage energy that was spent towards accomplishing all those
videogame feats was instead spent recreating the last few billion years worth
of earth’s landforming, with outerspace microphones directed towards forming
mountains and retreating oceans. The second song has…what the fuck? Vocals?
Good thing they sound like aliens capital-T trying to sound like humans
emoting! Don’t pay too much attention or blood will shoot out yr nose. Waaaay
too much dissonance to play on the jambox while around other non-consenting
adults, lest they, too speak only through tons of echo/flanger pedals. Sounds
like a well rehearsed nightmare. A pleasant one. If it weren’t for the human-based field
recordings (aka movie quotes) towards the end, I’d be fairly certain that this
was a time capsule we found on Mars*. I looked high & low for info on this
band and found jack shit. I hope that, in a few years, if I look again, i yield
far different results. *note, I’m not Martian by any stretch of the
imagination.
The
‘the Electric Nature’ side of this reminds me of Pelt and Psychic Paramount.
More the latter, though. Sounds like a lot of fun to play or witness live…as
this recording is taken from a show somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia. Loud music
is fun, yeah?
The
juxtaposition of these two verymuchnotalike artists makes for a fun collage if
you flip the tape back & forth. I highly recommend this course of action.
