Labels: Minimal Resource Manipulation
Review by: Gareth L
Another month, another Platform review. This time he is accompanied by ‘free improv drummer’ Paul May as he was with ‘Broken Hulk Display’. Like his other music I have reviewed here (especially ‘Categories of Dust’) this sounds like the soundtrack to some haunted art gallery, and I still would not want to listen to this CD when home alone at night. I was expecting some more natural sounding drumming here, instead we are ‘treated’ to a whole host of sinister drum effects, a mixture of electronic clicks and creepy wait-is-that-coming-from-my-basement? taps and scratches. The mood is lifted on the third track which is some kind of almost techno thing, but the EP finishes as it started with another seven minutes of menacing minimalism.
