I got this one as
a trade. RFO is a music / noise duo with Jay Howard (Synthesizer
SH-101) and Edward Giles (guttertronics, tapes and pedals). Jay
Howard is the mind behind Circuit Wound, Bacteria Cult,
Circuit Refusal, Redwound, Run For Omniphobia
and Wire Werewolves. I got scared reading the thank you section. They
gave kudos to The Haters and Xome amongst others. Two big
names in the world of experimental harsh noise. I was just hoping my poor ears
would survive the aural nightmare (or so I though). The first listening
experience is a surprise. It`s not your regular run of the mill relentless wall
of noise. There`s four tracks (64.04 minutes) which would
be:
1 – Polonium
210 (14.46 minutes) = a long, evolving piece of droning ambient noise
minimalism.
2 – Stunt
Double (17.21 minutes) = a dense, thick slowly moving track of ambient /
lo-fi noise (snail noise perhaps).
3 – Gutterman
research (16.05 minutes).
And
4 – men`s
rea (15.52 minutes) = those two pieces are similar in styles. It`s a mix of
sampled voices with lo-fi meditative ambient noise. A nice, chillout, relaxing
schizophrenic listening experience. All jokes aside, I love this album. Another
proof that you don`t need to bludgeon my ears to get my attention. Intelligent
noise music that`s for sure. Contact address:
