From Boomkat:
*Another hugely inspired transmission
from the Touch camp, pressed up on
limited vinyl edition and featuring a
side of deep, reduced low-end
meditations from the hugely collectable
Eleh, and an absolutely mindblowing side
of audio from Nana April Jun on the flip
that builds into a towering crescendo of
noise and static before mutating into a
Mika Vainio/technoid chug - one of those
quietly EPIC tracks that will just floor
anyone who comes into contact with it.*
The peerless Touch label presents a
wondrous split LP featuring two of
drone/ambient music's most intensely
focussed practitioners. Over a series of
records for the Important imprint, Eleh
has become widely noted for his purified
drone work, heavily inspired by
minimalists like La Monte Young and
Terry Riley, but specifically
concentrated on the mind-quaking
frequencies of the ultra low-end of the
audio spectrum. Nana April Jun, aka
Christopher LΣmgren, made his debut on
the Touch imprint earlier this year with
two engrossing LPs of cerebral frequency
alchemy. 'Sun Wind Darkness Eye' is
taken from his 'Ontology Of Noise'
album, a full side of mindblowing noise
storms crafted with an ultra subtle and
organic quality to place the listener in
the centre of a monolithic pressure
system of textures building to a pulsing
4/4 techno climax, reminding of a
typical Russell Haswell DJ set mixing
Burzum and Mika Vainio. On the other
hand Eleh put all their emphasis in the
bottom-end of the frequency register,
coming with a gentle reminder that
"Volume Reveals Detail", much like Sunn
0)))'s "Maximum Volume Yields Maximum
Results" mandate, inviting the listener
to immerse themselves in the purity of
controlled sinewave manipulation and
sublimely claustrophobic bass tones. If
Vainio, O'Malley, Deathprod or Pauline
Oliveros are on your wavelength, you'll
find this a mindblowing experience. Do
not miss.
