…and again there is music by Andrew
Liles. This is, I believe, his first
release on vinyl, pink coloured.
I think it fits the idea of the
'love songs' Liles produced here.
Andrew Liles continues his explorations
with computer treated sound, like
on his previous CD 'An Un World',
with it's nice combinations of ambient
and musique concrete. However I
must admit that the addition of
girls having sex and the sounds
they make, probably lifted from
porn soundtracks, is something I
don't like very much. It's done
before and frankly it bores me a
lot, which is a pity since the music
is quite nice. I just can't hear
porn sounds anymore... The other
side is by Ruse, whoever that is.
His side long piece is called 'Radar
Listening' and might be the processed
sounds of longwave receivings. It's
a funny piece in that the start
is the loudest and then gradually
goes down in volume, so that the
static of the vinyl takes over.
Loops of similar sounds swirl in
and out and the piece slowly develops.
A very simple and effective piece
of music. (FdW)

A very intense split EP from Brighton
based Macrophonies. Two textural
pieces which utilise dark, heavy
sounds intermingled with minimalistic
soundscapes and manipulated, twisted
found sounds. Both sides bear repeated
listening and the more you do the
more you get out of it. Excellent.
Oh, and it's on Pink Vinyl. Nice.

Abstract soundscapes and atonal
static transmissions... A rare and
wonderful release. Recommended.

...very disturbing, emotional &
stirring.
