Title Description: In sandpaper cover!! This is the second Mort aux Vaches release by IOS. The first one was an excellent record and so is this one. This one sounds more 'electronic' than the first one, which used a lot of 'raw' environmental recordings. The CD features 6 tracks of varying lengths, but all strong. A very exciting CD of live recordings by one of the best.
Vital Review: ILLUSION OF SAFETY - MORT AUX VACHES (CD by Staalplaat)
This is the second Mort aux Vaches release by IOS and as far as I'm
concerned they may release a lot more. The first one was an excellent
record and so is this one. This one sounds more 'electronic' than the
first
one, which used a lot of 'raw' environmental recordings. The CD features 6
tracks of varying lengths, but all strong. The first track is built up by
low drones and high bleeps and is especially interesting because of
everything that happens in the background. High tension! And then, after a
sudden break, we're in the swamps somewhere, electronic frogs singing. The
second track takes us on a train ride to the centre of a windy concert
hall, where a lonely person plays the cello. (I'm sorry if I'm getting a
little poetic here, but that's the music, not me.) Track three is just a
startcode, because it fades into track two. Someone is playing with a
heavy
metal object on the floor and doesn't seem to be aware of the drone in the
background, that increases very slowly. Ah, we change our focus to another
drone, changing from low to high frequency. And we're out of the hall in
electronic space, were there is only sound, except for something
scratching
at the virtual door. And yes, the door opens very slowly and we slide into
a small room, where we find the something messing around in gravel. Again
the track fades into the next one. What comes next pretty much defies
description; are these pigs gone berserk on tape? It's hard to tell and
you
should probably find out for yourself. A cut and we're off again into an
industrial abyss, machines droning. The machines stop and there is nothing
but a toy harp and some other stuff left, softly accompanied on a very old
piano and later by a loop band. A very exciting CD of live recordings by
one of the best. (MR)
