This is the fifth and ultimately last release for LAW, which in a nutshell
comes from Mitchell Altum who happens to be co-founder of the Triumvirate
label on which earlier LAW albums feature.
This album is a plethora of styles and samples, from the quietude of
drones to violent industrial clamour, but there is one consistency; and
that it The Black Lodge is not consistent, the varying tracks never let
the ear settle into rhythmical repetitiveness. The recordings are slick and
lush, dripping liquidity, from phrase to phrase. Noise moments shudder
in appearance but never take over any track, like a lighthouse doleful
horns warn of the bristling mechanical ramparts. Altum gives monologue
to some of the tracks, but not as much as to besmirch the album; in the
vein of might=right evil over good, etc. The use of acoustic guitar
elements are continued here as in earlier LAW albums, yet it is out of
phase and suffocated by other soundscapes, this and the dark range of
sounds give The Black Lodge an organic quality despite the manufactured
moments.
A digipak presented in a gloss transparent strong envelope. A card fold-
out with high photo-gloss paneling that opens out into a cross of five
panels with images of stark monuments and empty desolate pathways. The CD
itself is in the middle of the five panels in a separate plastic sleeve.
The word L A W are stamped horizontally on the inside panels with the disc
also featuring the letter A of the panel behind it.
Overall this is a sumptuous aural and visual feast from LAW, and it one
would not hesitate to label The Black Lodge as his best, most mature, work.
Limited to an edition of 500 copies.

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
