Album(s) of the Week

Bass Communion, Loss and Molotov and Haze
Have been listening to a lot of drone/noise/ambient music lately. These two from Steve Wilson's solo project Bass Communion have fit the bill quite nicely during this super slow period at work. Great for zoning out and tuning in, getting stoned naturally, so to speak. Don't do drugs, kids. This shit's waaay better. Kudos to whoever did the Loss artwork. The archival book of the dead photos are wicked creepy.




Lawrence English, Kiri No Oto
Nicely complements the Bass Communion recordings above. The Japanese title loosely translates to the 'sound of fog' or 'sound of mist'. The music ebbs and flows from whispery shimmery drones to sonorous sheets of noise. A great place to start for anyone wishing to explore the ambient genre.
