Black To Comm Is An Alias For Dekorder Label Owner Marc
Richter's Audio Excursions. "Rueckwaerts Backwards" Is His
Debut Full-Length Album Recorded Between 2003 And 2005 In His
Adopted Hometown Hamburg And His Childhood Home In The Black
Forest Located In The South Of Germany. With A Background In
Many Musical Styles (From Psychedelia To Pure Computer Music)
Btc's Music Is Never Easy To Pin Down.
This Album Is Essentially Created From Scratchy Shellac And
Vinyl Loops Merged With Ambience Field Recordings (With Some
Voice Manipulations And Kitchen Gamelan Thrown In For Good
Measure). The Warm Hiss Of Analogue Recording Techniques
Combined With The Apparently Antique Sounds Of Vintage Organs,
Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Pianos, Glockenspiel And Mbira
Used On These Tracks Generate A Kind Of Hyperreal, Fake
Nostalgia Playing With One's Perception Of A
Pseudo-Recollection. The Layering And Hypnotic Repetition Of
Short Loops Extracted From Old Psychedelia, Free Jazz,
Vaudeville And Traditional Records Reveal A Haunting Melodic
Quality Sometimes Not Distinguishable Within The Original
Source Material, Evoking A Hovering Feeling Of Bittersweet
Melancholy With An Omnipresent, Slightly Disturbing Atmosphere
Hidden Beneath The Surface.
The 8 Songs Constantly Sway Back And Forth Between Simple,
Almost Naive Arrangements And Dense Surrreal Drones With Rare,
Yet Intense Distorted Climaxes Making This Album One
Constantly Absorbing Listening Experience.
This is the six-panel digisleeve format CD.
