Comment: firstly I decided to use Scott
Lawlor`s title version on Bandcamp because Wings of an Angel`s
version is way too long for the row of the title (
Lo And Behold Ye
Confirmed Minister Of War, The Olympian Falcon, Galloping Away Like A
Humiliated Homer, You Were The Perfect Ripper In The Backdoors Of
London, Before You Had Found Your Forepleasures In The Subdefinitions
Of The Prowling, Censorious, Nutcrackers Of The Kitchen).
It is massive and profound, isn't? Indeed, it is a joint release by
the Israeli and US-based musician both of them are well known within
the circles of experimental music. Wings of an Angel is probably the
most prolific artist at the moment worldwide and Scott Lawlor is also
being known as the lead figure of Earth Mantra netlabel. By listening
to these 54 minutes I tried to guess whether is it the measured
midway between the aesthetics of the two artists or is it something
absolutely qualitatively new created by them? Indeed, the track is
lengthy (yet not drawn-out) so it can be said the both aspects are
really true. For sure, it does away with modern/post/contemporary
classical progressions which is an important part in the aesthetics
of Wings of an Angel but on
the other side the Israeli
juggernaut`s ambient touch is bound tightly with the US-artist`s
abstract droning and austere ambient/sound art appearance.
Furthermore, you can hear as if all the sounds were produced on
nearby
a custom-made saw mill as if
all the sounds were processed through restrained sonic channels and
then the erroneous result were cranked up to a maximal volume bar.
Indeed, the result is very tight and abrasive yet it is not an
obnoxious noise release. Because of arousing majestic and epic
feelings in the listener I have to admit it is a fairly exquisite
issue on its own. You will be bludgeoned and caressed at the same
time. It might be even more
an epitome of ruining the contemporary civilization by throwing the
stones into its clockwork. It might be the sound of the collapsing
one. It may also be a
synonym of the human being`s greediness asi if experiencing the feel
of ingurgitation. Get the newest technical applications and cell
phones to your home and into your pocket, respectively! Eat yourself
fitter! The
second part of the track/composition/album seems
to be chiming
as if just moving on inertially. But
you know one`s perception starts to play mischievous tricks on
his/her mind while listening to such a sort of tight soundscape. And
now while listening to this great one just try to decipher the point
of the title.
