Rippers Notes:
Church Road is a so-called 'almost live' cd, a live
performance slightly edited to make it sound better.
The inlay tells the story of how Jim Robson met Robin
at a life drawing session. The two connected, and
when Jim asked Robin how he actually composed and
produced his music, Robin said he would show him and
did a gig for Jim and some close friends at Jim's
house. Now who wouldn't like a thing like that to
happen?
The album holds four tracks and clocks around 55
minutes. The first track, Stone Tower, is the longest
with its 29 minutes and is like a live set in itself.
Starting with the dark ambient layers I love Rapoon
for, evolving into more rhythmic chaotic sounds and
some repetitive rhythms, ending in some nice dark
ambient layers again. Track 2, Silvered Sea, starts
of sounding Scottish to me, evolving into a slow beat
song and back to ambient. Track 3, Blue Communion, an
intense track, a lot of voice playing, rough ended
sounds and some soothing jazzy sounds now and then,
into chaos again, a full spectrum song. The final
track, The End Avenge, is officially a bonus track.
Personally, I never understand the concepts of bonus
and hidden tracks, especially when they are mentioned
on the artwork. But what the hell, it gives me eight
minutes more Rapoon, so you will not hear me
complain. The End Avenge is a bit of a plain song
compared to the others, the sounds are less rough but
the structure is Rapoon.
