about

A VERY early pre-XETB recording from 2000. Originally released in a very small edition (perhaps around 10 copies) on my own label.

One copy at least made it to a guy called Andrew Johnson who recorded noise under the name D-503, who wrote the following review:

"seeing as this release has only four tracks on it i don't think it'd be too much trouble to go song by song on the review, so here goes: 'saint toad' starts off the disc with slow bells, joined at times with more natural sounding bells and a buzzy flange sweep, a pretty low-key way to start the disc. the next track, 'hall of ****' (where the third word is written in hebrew, which i cannot understand) is more busy, with what sounds like distorted metal friction and feedback layered over atmospheric sounds (wind,maybe birds and some more bells). nice juxtaposition between natural (sounding) and more traditional noise type sounds, very grey and bleak. the theme continues with 'sustasis to helios', which sounds like water and rain at the start and then layers on a sort of melody with a synthesizer(?) and somewhat muffled chirping, buzzing metallic noise. the final track, 'nigredo', opens with a deep reverberated sound and animal sounds (which seem to be actually human in origin) and adds in sparse white noise and feedback. as a whole this album is pretty atmospheric, even the noisier bits are not too loud, and the whole thing is actually sort of depressing to listen to. don't take that as a negative comment on it, i enjoyed this album a lot and it seemed very planned out and well put together. highly recommended."

Airy ambient soundscapes with haunting female vocals giving us a feminist album more radical than a thousand riot grrl cuts. Reminds me of Anna Von Hausswolff, or Natural Snow Buildings at their least extreme. Levrikon

Melancholic album "We are so tired of the darkness in our lives." All these works impressed me, they are so melancholy that they cause nostalgia or what? Molis

I wish i had an empty ballroom or music hall to listen to this in. I love the reoccuring Heartache and the big brass sounds and distortion. It feels so terrifying. My heart goes out to those suffering from dementia or knows anyone whos suffering. discount-teeth
