Hyster Tapes brings forth this e.p. length compilation offering
of electronic wizardry.
Opening and closing with untitled cuts by Dear Beloved Henry, my
interest wandered a bit while DBH screeched through several minutes of nails-to-chalkboard
audio trickery. Debt Of Nature follows with nearly eight minutes of more
listenable tonal landscaping. R.S.T., Grey Park and Autumn Appreciation Society
fill in the remaining space with creative but not quite captivating offerings
before Dear Beloved Henry come to bat to round things off.
All said, this is a listenable but not necessarily inspiring
offering. The compilation nature of the album with multiple artists does tend
to break up the sameness of many single artist tapes in the genre. This format
is to be encouraged when presenting relative unknowns into the spotlight. Plus
marks for concept.
The tape comes with a black and white homemade j-card insert
contains artists, track names and times. This is housed in a standard Norelco plastic
case. The only label info is catalogue number and year of release (2015).
