Norman Records:
"Summer seems to be
popping it's fat shiny head in through my windows,
even at night it's gently warm & balmy. I feel in no
mood for indie guitars, I want ambient soundscapes
and cleansing washes of sound. Even dark, shuddering
sound like Ourson (Mr. Luke Hazard) produces on his
CD 'Eth'. I like listening to this at night as
there's no beats to piss off the neighbors, just
morphing waves of processed noise caressing my
flappy lugs like an angry digital breeze. There's
some proper phasing fun happening here, bringing a
new meaning to the phrase "channel hopping" That
track was 'Orph' by the way. Further on you get some
grumbling cyber ambience, like the drifting mists of
a dark field in Hades where spectral shadows torment
your every move & you dare not stop to chat or ask
for a light. Not that you'd need a sodding light in
Hades, like! Moving on into lighter territory,
treated, atmospheric guitar strumming involving some
intertwining minor chords over the soothing sound of
falling rain in the yard. Then the sinister drifting
arrives to recommence its relentless torment of your
lost soul! HAHAHA! Then there's much more
apocalyptic digital rumbling like what those Fuck
Buttons dudes do so well. A lot of that rumbling on
this CD may have escaped from 'Street Horrrsing'
because there's only so much ominous racket a CD can
hold, surely? Remember, a CD is half a computer. Ask
Phil. Yes, this is a great disc of sombre textures,
fuzzy doom-tones & introverted noise and just suits
this man's mood perfectly! Cup of tea anyone?
Digipak CD (edn of 300) on Install, a cool label run
by David Tagg & Brian Grainger (the most prolific
man in electronica?)"

#10 in WIRE's BEST OF
2008 ISSUE
NORMAN RECORDS:
"The Caretaker is the
alter ego of that lovely James V/Vm fella. As V/Vm
he makes a right old (textured) racket as a rule....
but as The Caretaker it's a much more sedate affair.
To sum the music up easily you have to go no further
than the title of his first album' Selected Memories
From The Haunted Ballroom'. That's exactly what the
music sounds like.... old ballroom music with
crackles and whizzles, all lopped up in the most
eerie way imaginable. It's like the ghosts of
yesteryear have taken over the stereo and what you
can hear are a load of old folks memories. The only
things missing are the bingo wings (or nan
flaps...)and the voices. Hey you'll be old soon so
don't diss the old folks...... life shoots by and
before you know it you'll be zooming your way info
your grave like there's no tomorrow. 'Persistent
Repetition of Phrases' is the strongest work I've
heard so far by The Caretaker. Both haunting and
beautiful... I like this lots. 500 only on Install
Records."
BOOMKAT:
"*AMAZING NEW ALBUM FROM
V/VM'S 'THE CARETAKER' PROJECT - IF YOU'RE INTO THE
WHOLE HAUNTOLOGY THING, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST*
James Kirby's work as The Caretaker has always dealt
with the suggestion of haunted memory and the
obscuring of temporal motion, and this latest album
makes that more explicit than ever, with titles that
reference amnesia, Alzheimer's, past life regression
and other such memory misfires and short circuits.
Musically, this album might be compared to Philip
Jeck's manipulated vinyl tracts, featuring similarly
oceanic swells of crackle and dust, with faded
pianos or big band sounds wafting wraith-like across
the mix. After conjuring the sinister atmospherics
of The Shining with his debut album Selected
Memories From The Haunted Ballroom, The Caretaker
has been chasing this idea of sound leaving its
indelible mark on a space and time, so consequently
these creepy, semi-dissolved musical passages sound
no more tangible than shadows, and the album for the
most part comes across as some sort of séance held
via wax cylinder. Arguably the most accomplished and
rewarding Caretaker album to date, Persistent
Repetition Of Phrases is an album you'll want to
snap up fast - there's only 500 of these in
circulation...Highly Recommended."

NORMAN RECORDS:
A total surprise to have
VCV album 'Round The Bend' drop this week. An album
of Jandek adaptations created by Brian Grainger and
David Tagg. These tasteful versions pay tribute to
to the originals with the artists adding their own
dimension. If you're feeling miserable this
Christmas then this will liven up the party (not).
although I do get an uplifting feeling from their
version of 'Alehouse Blues' which is probably the
best title of a track ever. Authentic looking

DOUBLE CD ECO-WALLET
Reviews:
NORMAN RECORDS:
"Peter Wright is a bit of a
top geezer when it comes to arresting sounds and his
whopping 'Snowblind' double CD on Install is somewhat of
an essential beast. Hot on the heels of The Caretaker's
' Persistent Repetition Of Phrases' CD that was
critically acclaimed (and we couldn't get enough of as
every batch of discs to arrive would sell out super
fast). This is another gem in the Install label's
catalogue. For those not familiar with the New Zealand
native's work then it's worth mentioning that he's
gracefully been dropping underground bombs on Last
Visible Dog, Blackest Rainbow, Digitalis, PseudoArcana,
Apoplexy, Students Of Decay, aRCHIVE etc. so he's built
a tidy array of quality releases. His sound probably
falls into the drone category but he sprinkles the genre
with his own magic and manages to take things way deep.
Imagine if Stars Of The Lid had turned to the dark side
of the force. His sounds resonate around your skull in a
weird deja vu kind of way and take you to a place which
is simultaneously familiar yet refreshingly new. It
reminds me of a state of sleep deprivation where every
object seems to vibrate with its own unique tone. All
the frequencies that Wright hits are just perfect.. The
bottom end is full and slightly menacing then the higher
frequencies evolve in unexpected and gloriously lush
ways. There's a distinct contrast of bleakness and
impending euphoria. Comparisons to Godspeed and Windy &
Carl are being spat around the office during what is a
captivating and dramatic listening experience. Your ears
need this."
Aquarius Records: "We haven't heard from New Zealand dronescaper Peter
Wright in about a year. Well, it's been at least that
long since we've reviewed one of his discs. Somehow two
other Wright discs slipped through the cracks in that
time though, which is a shame, since pretty much
everything we've heard from Wright is fantastic. This
latest double disc is no different
Nine looooooong tracks spread out over two discs, most
in the 15-20 minute range, which is ideal for Wright's
slow building, slow burning drone-epics, allowing for
plenty of time to drift and shimmer and buzz and whir
and rumble.
The first disc opens as disembodied voices float above
and within thick swells of grinding melodic buzz,
smoothed out into undulating sonic sheets, feedback is
dulled and blunted and transformed into warm ambience,
the raga-like buzz sprawls out seemingly endlessly, this
is Wright at his heaviest and most aggressive, the tones
taking on a timbre not that far removed from Nadja's
doomic crush, but Wright approaches that sound from
another direction entirely.
The rest of disc one is much more serene, minimal and
hushed, a slow swirling ambient shimmer, delicate and
crystalline, which over the course of two tracks and
nearly 40 minutes manages to slip from hushed whisper to
smoldering whir, glowing hotter and hotter but never
letting loose, until the 6 minute closer gets all riffy,
the guitars blindingly distorted, but remaining soft and
warm and hauntingly melancholic.
The second disc is the perfect second movement, shifting
from warm effects drenched drifts to deep subterranean
rumbles, from sun dappled cinematic ambience to reverbed
minimal mood music and finally to full on crumbling
corrosive blown out crunch, with weirdly decaying
distortion, strange strangled guitars, thick swaths of
blurred buzz, and gorgeous chiming tones ringing out in
the background.
Yet another collection of divine drones and sublime
minimal soundscaping from the inimitable Peter Wright.
Needless to say, absolutely gorgeous, and for the
droneminded among you, most likely essential."
mapsadaisical:
"Sometimes a record comes
along that is just so vast in terms of its scope and
ambition that it jars up my cogs and completely prevents
me from listening to anything else for weeks. Such a
record is Peter Wright’s Snowblind. I’ve been a fan of
Wright for some time now; both live and on record, but
nothing could have prepared me for this, not even
someone holding a big sign aloft which read “Peter
Wright is about to release a record so vast in scope and
ambition that it will jar up your cogs”. Well, maybe
that would have helped. But no-one did it, did they?
Peter Wright has been threatening to release Snowblind
for such a long time that it was beginning to acquire
some sort of mythical status in his discography. This
double CD, recorded in 2007 when New Zealander Wright
was sojourning in London, seems to have taken its time
to find a home: which is utterly bizarre given its
absurdly high quality. Thankfully Install have now
picked it up, although quantities are distressingly
limited. In fact, I wouldn’t waste time reading the rest
of the review. It’ll be a long one. Trust me; go there,
buy one now, and then come back and finish this later.
I’ll wait for you, honest.
Got one? Excellent, I’ll press on with disc one. It all
begins with a most familiar sound to us Londoners: a
drunk ranting while police sirens wail all around. From
there, Wright combines abrasive Kevin Drumm drone,
spooked Miasmah atmospherics, hazy shoegaze, dense
Richard Skelton style composition, and even bursts of
Godspeed guitar grandiosity to complete his masterpiece.
Most of my favourite elements, then. “The Drunken Master
In His Crumbling Citadel” clears the drunk off the
streets with some increasingly harsh and heavy feedback
which falls like torrential rain by the end.
Reverberating metallic rhythms, like distorted steel
drums, lead into the long ambient organ drone of “Apakura“,
whose still surface occasionally dapples, briefly
breaking up into luminous patterns. “Truth Serum” is
constructed entirely from scrapes of whining guitar, and
is dense, muffled and emotionally fraught. Following
that, the building guitar strum of “Follow The Leader”
couldn’t do more to signify an imminent eruption into
huge white noise if it held aloft a big sign which
read…um I’ve done this one already haven’t I? But when
it finally comes, the ear-pummelling which follows is
particularly intense, the sound is ravaged beyond all
recognisability. Utterly excoriating.
The second disc begins with pulsating Spacemen 3 type
ambience, before the oppressive, rainy, hissy
atmospheres of “The Distopian National Anthem” descend;
since hearing this, I’ve cancelled my forthcoming trip
to Distopia, and am even considering suspending all
diplomatic relations. “Cruise Missiles” gently reprises
“Akapura” drone, being a mere calm before the torrential
electric storm entitled (somewhat bizarrely, if no doubt
truthfully) “With Teeth Like That You Can’t Help But
Succeed“. Brutally serrated fragments of guitar
distortion crackle from the speakers, forming billowing
clouds of skin-shredding metal. The album descends
gently to a close with the reatrained chord sequences of
the title track, leaving you to reflect on the huge
sonic experience that was Snowblind the album, let your
ears rest a little, then skip right back to the start of
the first disc. Before you know it, you’ll have lost
weeks of your life to this album. Don’t say no-one
warned you."
TOUCHING EXTREMES:
"The luminiferous flock of Peter Wright’s guitars has
come again to rescue this poor listener, forced to the
ropes by the attack of dwarf clones whose inconsistency
is directly proportional to the consideration they
receive. Snow Blind, for good measure, is a double CD
(hooray!) that sends the magnitude of the quivering
signals pretty high in the scale: nearly two hours of
blissfully deafening roars, succulently plangent drones
and disturbed ringing tones. Depurative, febrifugal,
unreasonably suggestive stuff designed for your
personalities to develop as angelic children in
dissolute adult bodies. And that’s not all, folks.
Ever since the initial and splendidly titled “The
Drunken Master In His Crumbling Citadel”, Wright incites
the listener to the contemplation of a murky ecstasy
through a self-explanatory urban commentary: a field
recording of a bona fide drunkard, muttering his own
truth (incomprehensibly for this scrutinizer) amidst
metropolitan echoes and gradually swallowing walls of
wailing axes depicting an idyllic harmonic tissue. A
stark contrast, nonetheless suggesting something that
sounds, for lack of a better adjective, divine. The
discriminating acumen shown by the New Zealander in the
assemblage of superimposed distortions (frequently
sounding particularly consonant) is in this case
counterbalanced by various recourses to extremely
rudimentary, yet devastating melodies (check the first
disc’s final episode “Follow The Leader”, the very title
hinting to a concept that makes me recoil in horror)
which should ideally encourage a brighter vision of a
decaying materialism but in the end elicits a peculiar
type of quiet desperation, to say the least.
As always, the guitarist looks especially interested in
changing the gradation of timbres via altered varieties
of equalization, a knowledgeable processing that
literally disintegrates chords and lines into sparkling
smidgens of gritty idiosyncrasy. And those drones: the
best on the market for over a decade now. Amplifiers at
11 are not enough to emulate what this man manages to
achieve with a simple arpeggio surrounded by thousands
of mashed-snail reverberations. Let me tell you once and
for all: people like Wright and, on a different
playground, Aidan Baker are the initiators of this kind
of modern-day six-string painting. The rest are for the
large part cheap imitators that occasionally strike a
mere ounce of gold with an appropriate choice of colours,
nothing more.
Therefore save your money - thus preventing some
pathetically incompetent, tinnitus-inducing retrograde
from impersonating the god of hermitic thaumaturgy in a
valve-amped Walhalla - and support those who have been
walking the walk after talking the talk for decades,
barely noticed, utterly enlightened. The grief-stricken
broken illusions portrayed in this gorgeous release
might fight a bit with the witty cleverness of their
creator’s real-life attitude (perceivable even in his
website and email updates); still, they’re undoubtedly
the nearest thing to a representation of guitar-based
endlessness that I can think of. A bulletin like this is
a good reason to be grateful."

AQUARIUS RECords:
"The last we heard
from Gareth Hardwick, and actually also the first we heard, was on a
collaborative lp with long time aQ fave Machinefabriek (we have a few copies
left, see elsewhere on the aQ site), the two made for a good combination, each
offering up their own take on modern minimalism and abstract dronemusic. But in
that context, with two sonically like minded composers, it was difficult to
figure out who was bringing what to the sound of that record. So this is the
first glimpse we've gotten of Hardwick solo and we're quite smitten. Two loooong
tracks, both recorded live in 2007, both quite beautiful and sublime. The first
is a pure, barely shifting drone, at least initially, very Niblock like, but
focusing more on the purity of the tones instead of how they interact. Deep slow
motion swells, the tones warm and glowing, rich and lush, but simple and
streamlined. The track shifts here and there, the tones shifting subtly, some
stretches sounding almost chordal, others so simple and quiet, the tones seem to
be drifting through a vacuum. Near the end, streks of high end are draped over
the warm languid swells, offering up a brief subtle counterpoint, adding a bit
of soft tension. The second track is similarly structured, but the tones sound
more like notes coaxed from a guitar and allowed to drift lazily, ring out
almost endlessly, stretched and smeared into deep soft blurs, again toward the
end, the various tones seem to come together into chords and the sound becomes
gently lush and sun dappled, dreamy and soft focus before fading out
completely.So so lovely. Fans of muted, minimal drone music, Coleclough, Chalk,
Murray and the like, should definitely explore the sounds of Gareth Hardwick,
and folks into the hazy drift of Pop Ambient style shimmer, might just dig this
more minimal take on that sound as well. Fantastic packaging too. A printed full
color cd-r, housed in a plain black sleeve, with a full color textured plastic
transparent insert, slightly longer than the sleeve so the transparent top edge
sticks out. LIMITED TO 100 COPIES!!"
NORMAN RECORDS:
"Gareth Hardwick
now. We've had a few of his releases over the last year and here's another
limited one. This one is also part of the installation series (see Brian
Grainger review) and is also limited to 100 copies. Here are 2 sets of him
playing live. The one is very much like you'd expect if you've heard any of his
previous work. Beautiful textured drones which meld into your consciousness in
no time. His guitar just lulls you into it.... The 2nd set (recorded in Spain)
is a much more lo-fi affair as it was recorded onto a dictaphone. Still very
droney but there's more to get in the way of the lovelyness... so it ends up
sounding quite full and hazy sounding. Well lovely!! 'Waiting For The Penny To
Drop' is CD only...."

NORMAN RECORDS:
"Tanner Menard is the 6th
artist to grace Install's 'Installation' series.
Install, if you didn't know, are responsible for the
recent Caretaker CD that's shook the ambient/hauntological
scene up a tad recently. 'Canopy of Sky on Black' starts
with the sound of someone possibly scoffing a bag of
monster munch by a microphone before the waves of drone
crank up and start removing parts of your conscience and
displacing them in small bubbles throughout the solar
system. I'm never sure how to review this kind of music
as it's like trying to pass comment on the hum of an
electrical generator heard through elaborate earpieces
made out of tiny seashells & minute prisms, each slight
turn you make refracts the audio sensation, like a sonic
hall of mirrors (thanks Ant!) It's fucking good anyway,
very transcendental & uplifting with tons of atmosphere,
a dense, riveting tapestry of heavenly sound."

"This baby is more used to
hanging around fields with a tape recorder getting it on
with blades of grass & nature man. Then Jack goes into
town to buy a book on different types of grass & forgets
he's left his tape player on so ends up recording the
muffled sounds of the streets he's gently pacing. He
hears this on playback and so delighted with his found
sound recordings he laces the concoction with a slightly
wavering one note keyboard line. Further on you get
morphing, alien dissonance, Arabic chanting & various
fascinating ambient tones, all forming their own little
segments of pure sound to create a very satisfying
journey If this doesn't sound very interesting then
you'd be mistaken for this is the best form of sound
collage, very organic, lightly intoxicating and
satisfyingly minimal. Nice!"

FOREST GOSPEL:
"Though part of a marginally
larger edition than his Hyrule cassette (30 copies),
Death Mountain is still a criminally limited edition at
only 50 copies. The concept for Millipede this time
around is the same: Zelda + My Bloody Valentine =
monolithic cathedrals of towering guitar feedback that
somehow instills a depressing beauty amidst the swirling
chaos. Think Fennesz, if he was performing an exorcism
gone horribly wrong (but at the same time - horribly
right!). I don’t know why the labels that are putting
this stuff out (and they’re great labels to be putting
it out at all, that’s for sure) aren’t placing more
stock into it because Millipede’s brand of melodic
guitar feedback is devastatingly good. Let me be the
first to request that someone put this stuff on wax at
an edition of 500 or something because once someone
notable finds out about this stuff, it’ll be gone in no
time. But then again, I’m just a lowly music blogger,
the scum of the music world, what do I know? Well, if
nothing else, I know that Death Mountain is noise done
right. This is the kind of stuff that us odd,
experimental leaning folk devour after wading through
pools of the BS noise releases that everyone else and
their little sisters have cranked out on CDR. This is
one of those holy grail type records that make wading
through the crap a bearable means to an end. And let me
just say this so that I can be the first (why else blog
about music?): If Millipede keeps this up, there will be
a day when his moniker will be uttered in company with
noise stalwarts like Yellow Swans, Axolotl, Earth and
Sunn O))). His stuff is that good. Don’t sleep on Death
Mountain on the basis of its limited edition status or
its peculiar Nintendo associations – this ain’t no lame,
glitched out NES cover band. Death Mountain is
transcendent, apocalyptic, magnificent and searingly
beautiful; a true work of art. As you could imagine, I
could probably go on all day. However, I’d rather give
my full attention back to Millipede and Death Mountain.
