I got this CD as a trade.
BBOF is the solo experimental noise project of Zachary Short
JR, from Florida, USA. He also plays in Nexus Monkey (with Hal
Harmon) and Mayan Apocalypse (along Eric Thompson). Zachary is
one very prolific individual. To be perfectly honest here, I`m biased he`s one
of my favorite noisers. `A trip down memory lane `is his best work to
date. The frontier between minimalism / noise / music / ambient noise has never
been so thin. There`s seven amazing tracks here (54.38 minutes). He uses minimal
piano orchestrations, short noise bursts, cutups, ambient noise and minimal
acoustic guitar arrangements. This is a relaxing, meditative album with just the
exact dose of noise bytes to keep you from falling asleep at the helm. You want
standout tracks now. The whole enchilada is a standout track. My favorite ones
are:
2 – Air (5.07 minutes) =
minimal piano + ambient noise = meditative moods for the cold Canadian winter I
have to deal with.
3 – Left in the dark
(6.32 minutes) = short noise burst + more ambient noise & minimal piano
playing = need I say more. 6 – Mnlght snt Ist mvmnt
(5.49 minutes) = relaxing acoustic guitar minimalism. You don`t need to use a
continuous wall of noise to get my attention. This album conjures feelings of
coldness, minimalism, loneliness and isolationism. A beautiful, yet challenging
listen.
