to continue with my love for some Birchville Cat Motel, here's his 1998 cd released on that wonderful label Drunken Fish (you know, "Harmony of the Spheres" boxset?) entitled "Siberian Earth Curve." this cd opens with a long low drone that is layer upon layer of noise piled up until it's a slow boil of churning bubbling drone that only BCM could conjure up. then, he adds melody to the mix on the second track, a sort of backwards raga with slide-whistles. the next track sounds like a plane going down in a buggs bunny cartoon for ten minutes, but if you listen closely to all the goings on, you will be rewarded; it's much more than a plane going down. next, he brings the static back full force, with a piercing attack of high end noise that sounds like the recording of a hundred kettles boiling and put through a distortion pedal. brilliant. finishing the cd off comes the title track, shifting tonal experiment that adds and subtracts high frequency tones for 15 minutes.
this cd is great. Campbell Kneale never disappoints, and if you are a fan of drone music you will really enjoy this cd.
