Knurl : Piracetam

This piece by the Canadian master starts off deep & atmospheric, full of false hope and promise. This isn't Pholde though. Immediate shrill & metalic bursts overttake the calm and this one burns fast. Implodes almost as quick. Focused & structured destruction = the very best kind.

Sword Heaven & 16 Bitch Pile-Up :
Sword Pile Outtake


Back when the Bitches were five and the Swords were four, all nine combined for a massive session once every full moon. Only once did such a collaboration take place in on record - released as the "Sword Pile" book/cdr (gb71) - and this boy's a warm-up track from said session that wasn't included in that package. In the middle of the pentagram it says 'Ohio'.

Scenic Railroads :
When We Say Re-Mix, We Mean Rip-Off

Young dudes step into the arena of electro-acoutsic improv and offer some elements and inspirations lacking in the genre before. Laptops fully loaded, Joe Panzner and Mike Shiflet roll in like punks at the prom, simultanously out-of-place and completely at home, making a mess and loving it.

Aaron Hibbs : Companding

The gentler, thought-provoking side of Aaron Hibbs. You've seen him beat the shit out of the drums in Sword Heaven and out of himself in Noumena. Here he chills out a bit & presents a digital composition quite different than any of his other work.
