Comment:
this is my first entry into
the discography of an immensely prolific US-based imprint, Diabetic Koala and after
listening to this 6-track 1997 [EP]
by Ghost Arcade it could be said it was a fair success to deal
with it. In front of your
face and legs a wondrous sonic world is laid out. By the way, it
might seem a little bit haphazard and chaotic stylistically, for
instance, it embarks on with
static noises and improvised guitar chords and later more
overwhelming noise panning at Wake
Up In The Dreams Of Another Dream.
It is a quite outstanding
issue with regard to the exploitation of the guitar rather than
electronics being prevalent in the following pieces. It
does have very much in common with the aesthetic of Glenn Branca. It
is followed up by Unemployed
Dub, which could be
denoted as dub music though being saturated with ill-omened
synthesized flickers and reverberant drum stomping. The
next tracks will continue in a similar vein where the sound is
amplified through heavy use of echoes, and stereophonic effects. At
time it might seem quite cynical and
sniggering due to drawing on
austere yet shrill electronic jitters, for instance at Wht`s
Tht Smll?. I would call
it post-witch house/drag house music. It is a weird yet
mind-blowing shit. The
issue was followed by another EP called After Burner
on the same record label.
