thought this would make for a nice early-halloween post... seriously, don't listen to this album if you aren't ready to sell your soul to satan in exchange for listening to one of the craziest avant-death-metal groups that ever existed. enjoy >:D
japanese harsh-noise/sound-collage/free-improvisation band. there hasn't been any harsh noisy music on here for a while (if ever), so i think its about time that i introduce some non-melodic music to you all :)
dont blow your speakers out... a rule of thumb when listening to noise music, whether your medium be studio monitors, 200 dollar headphones, or a cheap pair of ipod buds, is that you should start with the volume on 0 and slowly move up until it is at a comfortable level, being sure to leave headroom in case there is anyone change in dynamics (when the music suddenly changes volume, which happens quite a bit in noise music)
heed my advice, i have messed up many speakers in my time i have spent listening (and making!) to this sort of music, i know better ;)
ps the youtube video below is one of the least noisy tracks on the album, don't get this album and expect to be treated to an (easily) understandable melody/beat throughout!
the residents, an amazing avant-garde deconstructionist group/troupe of weirdos in (sometimes) matching costumes, performing one of their several bizarre live musical dramas, interspersed with comments and narration from penn jillette, of penn and teller fame. the story is, uhh, well, it seems to be about moles migrating? or something? i am not entirely sure, but is pretty interesting to try and figure out! one of the many great albums from the residents, you'll surely be hearing back from them on this blog sometimes soon :)
