Another new Organs of Battle track
 
Some of you asked for 'long form'.

Does 25 minutes fit the bill?

Feedback appreciated.

Don't have a clue what this is, but I'll give it a listen.
Thanks.

I appreciate your pioneering spirit!:)

I like it. It's well recorded and would work wonders as a soundtrack in a sci-fi movie.
The camera click caught me off-guard, though. :-)

Camera click? How far in was that?

surely yr not a big enough geek for "organs of battle" to be inspired by the Adepta Sororitas - Exorcism tank.


 

it's the only organ of battle I know of...unless you mean trough-fighting...


either way...will download asap.

You're forgetting that the band was named in 1983 - long before the Adepta Sororitas existed, although it looks like an impressive vehicle.:)

When we were asked where the name came from we gave alternate answers - either 'its the name of a keyboard shop on the south coast of england' or ' it's a subtitle in Louis Bunuels surrealist movie L'age D'or'

Both were true at the time but the keyboard shop no longer exists.

Downloading as we speak.
Florya never disappoints, plus the files are always hi-fidelity.

Glice 06.01.2009 01:27 PM

I immediately assumed it was some sort of riposte to Deleuze's 'war machine is not state apparatus', you know, conflating the BwO with all this nomadic space. Quite appropriate for a band, I'd imagine. [Edit: this was towards the post immediately preceding Herr Clone's]

Anyway. Downloading as we speak.

Florya 06.01.2009 01:49 PM

All I ask is that you give it a proper listen - right through to the end.

There's no surprise ending or anything like that, but the length of the track is as important as it's content.

Nope. My mistake. Just listened the whole thing again and I can't find it.
Probably hit a key on my laptop by accident.

Glice 06.01.2009 03:34 PM

Tokolosh, did you get your signature from an Absolut Vodka advert?

Florya - I listened, and I liked. I'll some something more constructive when I've listened again.

That's a relief!:)

Tokolosh 06.01.2009 03:46 PM

No. nothing to do with the Swedes.
Scaled it from an astronomy forum.

I'm just happy that you think it merits a second hearing!:)

Tokolosh 06.01.2009 03:53 PM

Played it through my stereo the second time round and it sounds way better.

There's quite a lot of 'hidden' bass that only shows itself when played through speakers ;)

Florya 06.04.2009 03:57 AM

C'mon guys - 135 people have opened the thread but only 3 actually listened to the track?

I need feedback!

Feed me baby!

Toilet & Bowels 06.04.2009 04:39 AM

i misread the thread title

 

Florya 06.04.2009 05:36 AM

Fair enough :)

verme (prevaricator) 06.04.2009 04:00 PM

enjoyed it.

I like that none of the sounds particularly sound like instruments, or objects. It's very much got the feel that you put a microphone somewhere and this just so happened to be the sounds. I mean, there's a sound in there that's possibly from the same source that could be a clean hand on a clean bath, or wet windscreen-wipers or contact miked old floorboards or a big whooshy pipe.

I like that when a rhythm appears, it does so subtley, and doesn't impose itself - in fact, I struggled to notice rhythms other than the glancing synth (?) that runs throughout the first time I listened.

There's a lot about the production that reminds me of dub, in spite of the fact that it's got little in common with dub. Actually, it's got loads in common with dub, just not the bits we come to expect of dub.

I like that it's just the right side of meticulous without turning into frigid self-fetishisation.

I like that it never quite tries to be intense or chilling but manages to convey a sense of dread.

It sort of makes me think of NWW or Metgumnerbone, that kind of thing, without specifically making me think of anyone in particular. In short, it's very, very good and if it's not being put out I'd like to offer to do some sort of CD-r swap for a real-world copy.

floatingslowly 06.04.2009 07:25 PM

I won't be able to sum it up better than glice, although I seem to agree with him on all points. :confused:

I'm picky about my noise, and honestly, I don't like a lot of it these days, but THIS is the kind I like.

great stuff. sorry that it took so long for me to download it. sure glad I did.

WOW! Praise indeed.
Thanks very much.

That 'clean hand' sound is actually the sound of someone's (not mine!) arse being slapped!

I'm thinking about putting this track out as a proper release - just working out which format to use.

Thanks.

Noise music tends to be very personal to whover writes it - I think that's why some of it so inaccessible.

It's nice to think that mine is a bit more cuddly :)
