Comment: Alejandro Remeseiro aka Thanatorium aka Elias Falken aka Eemian aka Prowano Prosper aka The Advanced Antennas aka Konsumprodukt is a prolific sound explorer from Spain whose 5-piece issue Storm is based on a relatively simple idea, mixing up agitated weather report annunciations (regarding the hurricane Sandy in 2012 on the east coast) with emotionally loaded sonic backgrounds and effects. However, the result is impressive because of going right to evoke epic dread and impending doom. Remeseiro`s work is haunting a little reminding of such seminal work as Irdial-Discs´ The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations (1997) (although do not have even a similar context).
