DeepKiss720<\/a> – DK720 CDR<\/p>\n

Unverified<\/a><\/p>\n

Another one from Unverified which I was really dreading and rightfully so. Although the disc is off to a decent start with some choppy, very noisy experimental electronics a la Jazzkammer. Once the “vocalist” is introduced into the mix during “Removals\/Set One” – an epicly annoying 19 minute track – this gets pretty unbearable. The first 10 minutes are ok, not at all my preferred style of noise, but fine for what it is but I really wanted to just turn it off after about the 10 minute mark. The vocals are distorted to all hell and very loud and harsh for so long.<\/p>\n

Despite the really terrible title “The Emperor’s New Drone” is by far the best track here. With some depth and leanings toward electroacoustic it has a nice array of sounds. Think pulsating synthesizers, chirping glitches, sirens, slowed-down samples and all other kinds of shiny glistening sounds it’s no wonder it’s only 3 minutes long. The track is definitely too good for this disc.<\/p>\n

With “Set Two\/Additions” we’re back to the god-awful vocals, and harsh distortions of DK720’s live material. A shit ton of background noise, distorted vocals sounds that sound like some annoying opera singer attempting to make the call of a monkey. It’s pretty bad up in this shit.<\/p>\n

Shitty photo-copied artwork, a brand-name CDR with a little sticker on it. Unverified once again throws in the towel for a release with little-to-no time\/effort\/money\/thought put into it. So don’t waste those things on this release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
