Marax "Breathing Cold Memories" CS
7/10 - [LSR]
The first thing I must note is the highly impressive display of ideas herein. The cassette is wrapped in a rubber band with a folded sheet of paper that houses artwork and explanations for each track, as well as lyrics for the two songs that use them! This is a great effort, and one that is all too rare within the genre. Many noise artists frown upon such acts, but I find this to be truly respectable.
The audio journey begins with quiet sweeps and some clean guitar that slowly moves into the foreground. Repetitive and droning, the combination works well. Next up is "Trust Self", a harsh piece with distorted feedback and blips, plus heavily reverberated vocals in the background. The vocals are sick and twisted screams, unlike anything I've ever heard from the most noted power electronics acts. The reverb and layering really creates depth on this piece. The following song is even harsher, an all out war with biting feedback and dense, crushing walls of noise. "Dragging Impact" is similar to elements of its predecessors, with thick movement and light distortion over subtle layers. Side B begins with "Sometimes the Lie Hurts Slow", which also uses vocals similar to "Trust Self", though this time things sound thinner. The final composition is one of Marax's first 4-track recordings. It sounds like radio samples being manipulated beneath heavy flanges and dense bass loops. The amount of effects increases gradually, but at more than 15 minutes in length the track is still a bit long. Again, I really like the packaging. Though simple xeroxes, the amount of information present is just great. There are a lot of original ideas here, and the project is obviously progressing nicely. Numbered of a mere 30 copies!
