seven

This brilliant psycho-techno-ambient is the first official release from sound technicians Silk Saw. Packaged with smart disassembled-alien design by Peter Maybury, we adventure to freakish derelict world of funky rhythmic arrangements and off-world textures.

On the first track, "flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood", we are introduced by the words of Dracula and enter this nightmare of strange sound devices, echoing phases, building funk rhythmics, and various samples. We move on with the panning ambient constructs of "broadcast trouble" that leads you into pacing journey backwards in time. Track three ventures into more intensified atmospheres that push on with entangling alien samples and resonances. "the treasure?" paces on a quick technoid rhythm that is swallowed by hollow frequencies and samples. The next track brings us to a funky lounge-like atmosphere that goes haywire every few seconds phasing throughout to climatic horn elements and back again to the funk. Track six, "calling N.Y. (booze-up mix)" gives us a nauseating ambient track that engages funk-jungle-hip hop rhythms and modulated bass lines overlaid with surrounding trippy samples. We end this trip with extremely cluttered turbulence of various guitars, bells, tweaked modulations, and a stomping beat structure. Uniquely interesting.
