Crank Sturgeon & Hal McGee – a statistician`s intramural crush (CD)




This is a micro-cassette tape collage collaboration             Featuring two seasoned veterans of the hometaping, experimental noise scene (the almighty Crank Sturgeon and mister more than two hundred releases Hal McGee).  A bizarre album done with: field recordings, words, minimalist instrumentations, improvisational textures, stream of consciousness mind glop (huh?) and lo-fi gloriosity. This recording consists of two long tracks: entitle an echo to progress (24.53 min) and bumps and numbers, in code (28.01 min). words, sentences, lo-fi ramblings collide altogether. Lots of incoherent ramblings + what the hell & where the hell sound sources = I heard something like this before. But where? Now I remember last time I went to a dive. It was after last call, around 3.30 a.m  and all I could remember hearing is tons of drunkards ramblings, mumblings. This album is not an all around harsh noise attack. It`s more like an experimental , electroacoustic at times aural sonic assault. It`s crazy, it`s weird, it`s strange. I like it, I like it!

Trotsky & Otolathe - 111111 Sessions, Pt.1 & Pt.2 (mp3)

After reviewing Trosky`s Watercooler- gas money Cd, , I  was impressed . So  I did some searching and found a lot of cool freebies on the internet (I will review more of Dan Reaves material in the near future). Those are two long jam sessions featuring Otolathe and Dan Reaves.
111111 Sessions, Pt. 1 : low-fi frequencies becoming louder and louder + samples + some percussive elements + various distortion (synth maybe) effects + creepy unidentifiable sound sources = looks like a non-stop Forbidden Planet soundtrack on acid (26.13 minutes). Get it here:  http://trotskyswatercooler.bandcamp.com/track/111111-sessions-pt-1



111111 Sessions, Pt.2: softcore distortion + programmed percussions + noisy rhythmic loops \ patterns + lots of vibrating \ throbbing frequencies = an apocalyptic chill-out noisy nightmare indeed ( 12.59 minutes). Get it here:
