Comment: Jared
C. Balogh is a man who has done very much for the sake of the
weblabel/netlabel world. He has been leading an imprint, Altered
State Of Mine and released a bunch of albums. So it can be said he
has had very much to say even if having a focus upon his particular
albums. One of them is over there being released on Kermesse, an
Argentine imprint. The description of it at the release site is
apprehensible – 4 tracks of layered first take improv. And it works
in its roughness and raggedness, having made it on guitars, the drums
and electronic/sonic effects (accelerations, manipulation with hisses). One can feel curious of what is going
to happen during the next steps. The second track
Sad Alert Alarm
Emergency one can perceive that below those distorted
guitar-based overdrives is the simplistic theme progression which
reminds me of
Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones. However,
later tracks embrace clear-cut samples from pop songs. It is all
about distortion and disruption in a straight and indirect sense. You
can hear chopped and sliced rhythmic patterns, unusual sonic
combinations being obviously inspired by cutting-edge jazz, dada
music, Captain Beefheart's deranged soul. Get this miscellany of
intriguing compositions and sounds.
