The Water

sjah83 This is how a black hole must sound if you travel around its Schwarzschild Radius for forty minutes. A haunting and very powerful audio experience. Favorite track: Fog.

Finn of Tomland These 2 long tracks are highly concentrated pieces of work.
Noise/Feedback Drone produced with a no-input mixer is nothing one just sit down and do without any know-how and en creux sure has the skill needed because this is an almost 40 minutes long eargasm i 2 parts.
Highly recommended. Favorite track: Fog.

about

en creux (aka Lucia H Chung) pushes into the "persistent" side of the Hard Return remit with two extended drone pieces for no-input mixer, exemplifying how so-called stillness is paradoxically a site of constant energetic feud. The two sides depict deficiency and surplus respectively: the first a semi-solid hum that flickers on the brink of becoming, the second a harsh buzz that presses into excess until it warps. Balance and stillness, so readily associated with drone, are therefore illusory – only ever implied in the cancelling-out of these deviations from equilibrium, manifesting as a non-state framed by exertion, arriving within that silent pause between these two exquisitely manoeuvred tilts.

This beautiful label is the source of the HR008 spillage. Sonics stripped of extraneous ornaments and supports, targeted between the margins of articulable sensation. Hard Return

Had i had the joy to experience this live i would have smiled from ear to ear too and if it wasn't for the ears the top bit would had fallen off because this is utterly wicked and right up my alley. Highly recommended if you're into the noisier side of music! Finn of Tomland

Probably one of the most "Big Deals" as far as I know being a BC user. For a ridiculous price—four bucks—you get 40 awesome tracks under SP's signature with all its meaning. This compilation is a really MUST-HAVE. My favorite track has been chosen by pure randomness. Enjoy this gift! sjah83
