Another CD Alexander
Wheill (Wreck Age Recordings) gave me some time ago.
Appearances sure are deceiving. There`s this black and red highly hypnotic /
psychedelic cover. As I look at it, and it got me thinking this is probably one
of those psychedelic / progressive / maybe folk (sure hope not) highly
forgettable albums. I used to get a lot of those when I was writing `Mastock
– the experimental music zine `. Which is one of the many reasons it folded.
Anyways, upon the first listen I`m quite surprised. Heck, I`m pleasantly
surprised, this is some good music. There`s ten tracks which, inserted in your
CD player sounds like one long (61.27 minutes) music piece. This track is
constantly moving / evolving / mutating / shifting into various sonic
territories: death ambience, lo-fi noise, ambient noise, ambient darkwave with
some ominous / bleak / dark undertones. Surprisingly this CD came out the same
year as my favorite Schloss Tegal album – the soul extinguished
(1991). Sheer coincidence or not, you decide. I would recommend this album if
you like, in no particular order: Mort Garson`s – black mass Lucifer
(1971), Nik Pascal – the sixth ear (1972), Morthound –
the goddess who could make the ugly world beautiful (1994) and
Aghast – hexerei im zwielicht der finsternis (1995). This
one`s a keeper folks.
