An absolutely stunning LP. Coming soon on Vinyl. Buy it.
SoiSong - qXn948s
posted a review of SoiSong - qXn948s. about 1 year ago
A side is a tad noisy with regards to the vinyl (not the music) and the LP has a very slight warp.
B side is not much better.
Other than these gripes, I love this music.
Cabaret Voltaire - The Voice Of America

Possibly my favourite Watson era Cabs LP. So much going on here that pushed boundaries in music. Raw at times but stunning in its ability to utilise electronics and forge a completely unrelenting new path (for its time) that is hard to match in recent... See full review

The 3rd 'Mantra' was the sound going on around the listener, in everyday life.
That was the point of the title.

Fascinating LP.
So much going on and so many shifts in mood.

(Also glad I have one of the first 100 with the hand painted & signed insert)

For sure. CD's are small vinyl is bigger. The surface noise works well too.

Very good LP. Love the dark atmospherics these guys can conjure up. Kadaverdiciplin is such an amazing track, well worth the price of entry in itself.

Nice pressing, lovely sleeve. Only 60 copies of each edition in existence. A real work of art no less.

A truly astonishing work of sound.
Bridging the gap between ambient and noise whilst keeping the work extremely fresh and palatable.
Here we have a broad sonic palette that tempers cerebral smarts with freeform acoustic and electronic... See full review

I used to have the original of this and have bought the clear reissue.
Both have the same smell of screen printed artwork! Wonderful detail.

Looking forward to the re-release of MTPITD 2 along side this. Coils masterpieces in my honest opinion.
Boomkat Editions

Boomkat would be better if they cut out the woke BS in their reviews and just let the music weave it's magick.
Nothing is worse than causing division through political bias just because one persons creativity doesn't fit the mainstream narrative.

It's a 12" x 12" repro of the cover art. It fits neatly into the sleeve as an insert.
I have a copy.
The LP is a fantastic pressing.
Ora - Time Out Of Mind
posted a review of Ora - Time Out Of Mind. over 5 years ago
Strange snippets of improvised music that have a peculiar aura of nostalgia about them. Like slow motion light beams playing across surfaces of personal memories or half-remembered noises from past lives.

"Initial copy" = get in quick or you won't get one. It doesn't mean you will automatically get one. Top tip, try ordering on the day of release/notification. I did and every time I have with other very limited vinyl too.

I have been blessed with the dark twin of the 'Clamshell' edition. I love this chance selection stuff at Boomkat (most appreciated with the Demdike Stare 'At Rest' art piece).
Anyway, this 4x LP selection is clawing it's way under my psychological... See full review

This is actually quite incredible. A flower in full bloom. Listening back to her previous works this IS the culmination of her ideology. Transcendental pop. Mind blowing for one so young, the female Bowie imho.
Love it.

It's hard to explain how important this release is. Its not easy to listen to but, once you do your hooked.
It's rather like hearing all of the sounds that are 'wrong' put together to make a 'right'. Slowed down and skewed drum patterns and badly... See full review

Each of the tracks on this release are worthy of you're time.
Sit down headphones on and kick back.

Dissolving and coagulating guitar sonics. Breathing in and out of focus. Now we hear Oikos but then again....
A fairly dense recording of treated guitar and synth work that appears to be exploring the feelings of solidity and decay.

Encounters (3) - Houses
posted a review of Encounters (3) - Houses. over 11 years ago
If 'empty' was a sound and had it's variants then this CDr is it.
'Houses' is a more bleak proposition than the 'Rooms' cassette and conveys itself like an aural anaesthetic.
The tracks here are spacious but hint more of an agoraphobic experience than... See full review

Brilliant sonic excursions from the guy's behind NRIII and Husere Grav.
The tape repeats on each side and is well worth a listen. I had my copy on repeat at least 3 times when I first gave it a go.
There is a claustrophobic tension permeating this... See full review

This is a truly ground-breaking slab of art. It really needs a proper vinyl and CD release so that it can be fully appreciated in all formats.

This must be one of the bleakest releases from either of these artists yet (no bad thing). Clocking in at over an hour the 6 tracks of blackened drone are perfect for complete submersion into soundscaped alternate black dimensions. Not for the feint... See full review

Untilted is brilliant, Draft is the low pint as it regurgitates what was already done before. It is formulaic: Track starts, moves into something else, falls apart. I have been listening since Inculabula and hear the amazing progression in the music... See full review

Lovely blackened stuff this from Todd Watson. A bit too short really, would of liked at least 35mins!

Starts off sounding like something 'huge' giving birth: low bass rumbles, crunchy static, feedback stabs. Like something ripping apart, 'seperating'... See full review
