Reviewed by: Darklight This CD contains
ten different experimental sound art tracks performed by different acts.
For the most part the material found here is basically just obscure
noises and sound effects. Most of this you couldn't even consider music
for the fact that it's just noises. I guess this would be considered
old school industrial music where everything is made up of clanking
metal sounds, hitting oil drums, using power tools and including
obscure sounds and samples as well. I find this to actually be quite
annoying and don't really see what one gets from it. I could take a
tape recorder out on the street for a few hours and record a bunch of
sounds and mix them together and come up with exactly what is delivered
on this CD. If you want a CD full of sounds and noises, this is a good
choice as it has plenty of them. But if you want a CD with actual music
on it that includes emotion, feeling, and rhythms and beats, this is
not for you. I would like to mention that the last track delivered here
by the band Phycus is actually quite good. It's dark and haunting with
a gothic sound and dreary vocals. It's out of place on this CD considering
that nothing else here sounds anything like it. But it does make the
CD slightly better.
*Note from Rabies: The only cool thing about this compilation is that it also comes with a real circular saw blade. Perfect for destroying the CD after you hear the drivel you wasted your hard-earned money on. |
