Amon Vs Mortar (CD)

This is the first and only Amon & Mortar collaboration. Amon is Andrea Marutti, from Milan, Italy. Moreno Daldosso (also from Italy) does Mortar and Murder Corporation. This album (8 songs = 64.55 minutes) came out in 2008, on Afe Records. The most recent release dates from 2012, I think they`re not active anymore. They`re websites still running http://www.aferecords.com/ .

All tracks by Amon & Mortar except track # 3 (Mortar) and # 4 (Amon). This album is amazing, the music subtly moves into various sonic territories: electronic, ambient noise / darkwave and experimental. Here`s a brief summary:

-Part 1 (4.53 minutes) = lo-fi drones / rumbles + ambient noise minimalism.

-Part 2 (6.16 minutes) = lo-fi minimalism / isolationism + ambient darkwave / noise.

-Part 3 (3.26 minutes) = some drones, a little grinding here and there + minimal ambient noise.

-Part 4 (3.17 minutes) = ambient minimalism.

-Part 5 (10.46 minutes) = subtle moving / shifting / mutating / evolving / drifting experimental ambient darkness.

-Part 6 (8.05 minutes) = experimental ambience.

-Part 7 (24.58 minutes) = a long epic track with rhythmic electronic music and strange lo-fi ambience.

-Part 8 (3.14 minutes) = minimal rhythms + minimal ambient music = a perfect ending. I love the whole damn thing. I highly recommend it if you can ever find it (sadly, it`s sold out).
