Comment: Golgotha Communications Ltd. is a Philadelphia,
US-based collective, having been active since the mid-90s. Wine, Women and Song Pt2 is the second compartment of the Wine, Women and Song trilogy. There are
up three long-running compositions, the first of them, One, is made up of sizzling noises, microtonal parallel worlds,
demented vocal samples and dialogues etc. Despite its intensity it results in a
charmingly lethargic output due to the use of calming loop. However, by its
provocative and challenging manner and taking on some similar shifts in form
the combo´s result can be compared with another US-based legend Big City
Orchestra`s some works, for instance. Unarguably it is a “heavy” track due to
its schizoid nature. The following The
Erin Fraud represents remarkably more clear and sheeny sound sheets, though
the droning of it resounds signally louder and jarring but also in a majestic,
spaced-out and epic way. The notch represents decorously the storeyed tradition
of American drone and minimal music since La Monte Young. The result of the finishing
track Three is relatively similar to
the first one because of keep exploring obsessively on those glitch-filled
noises, though adding some concrete music morsels, chamber/neoclassical music
elements and ethnic singing to the melting pot. The development is open as if
would invite you to step into it. However, the last third of the track is
decidedly turned aside with the assistance of unison related singing and
rhythms which in turn would be mashed up and subjected to offset, elliptic
loops. All in all, Golgotha Communications Ltd`s score is wondrous and fascinating.
