"Test Dept is an English industrial music group that was one of the most important and influential of that scene's earliest acts. Particularly notable for their complex and powerful percussion, the band used unconventional instruments such as scrap metal and factory machinery for '...sophisticated sound-collages and helter-skelter momentum of cyclical rhythms...'"
"Voice of Eye is a New Mexico based ambient experimental duo whose members are Bonnie McNaim and Jim Wilson. Their sound is one that blends electronics, drones, and world music, particularly with a Middle Eastern overtone, and tends to evoke a shamanistic quality. Many of their instruments are home-made or heavily modified, with a style that has been described as 'largely indescribable, but totally inviting'."
I don't miss the torture of recording dial-up streams to cassette (easy to rig, hard on the rage when they buffered...which was all the time). This one was an especially grueling session, but well worth the obliterated patience to capture it: O.G. Gangsta-speedcore and Amiga-breaks from the greatest provocateurs of the style, interspersed with live-at-the-rave commentary from THE boss asshole himself, Mark N...
First/best recording of Orange Curtain grinding hardcore, like a “happy” Terrorizer signed to Mystic Records. Their GIGA-bounce breakdowns split many a wig even in pug-mug L.A. (as did the Martial Law cover they’d close their sets with)...

In addition to insect sounds, the instrument also synthesizes orchestral textures, choirs, and a strange assortment of surreal musical voices. The composition's five movements, considered unlistenable by some, thrive on the familiar discordance of [large gatherings of] insects and the wondrous uncharted harmonies that lie within. Titled after Penderecki's ground-breaking work, ‘Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima’, and exploring similar tonalities, extended instrumentation recalls the tragedy of Hiroshima's destruction through broad curtains of impressionistic sound.”
