This very early recording goes to prove that the group knew what they were doing right from the start. Probably inspired by Matthew Bower's work as Total or Skullflower, Mothing finds the group blasting forth layers of improvised yet atmospheric drones. The eighteen minute long The Beauty Of Refined Rusticity is a fine example as violins, cymbals and bass rumbles join a steady keyboard (or feedback?) drone. The music never climaxes, it just shifts gears, changing ever so slightly until it finally disappears, breaking the spell it conjured up through it's own length. The sound quality is quite low throughout (this is a CD-R after all!), but this only gives these alien sounds an even more exotic feel (this is especially true on the closing Falling Free You & Me, a twenty-three minute long buzzing drone which will drive your house pets mad!). Comes in a cheaply made slimcase and lame-ass artwork. |
