I think it's one of those ones where they just put the words "Sonic Youth" in the item title so that it shows up when people do a search for SY stuff.
I can't categorically say there's no SY connection, but I'm not aware of one. Whether it's any good in its own right - who knows? |

A review of that album from elsewhere on the web:
There was an LP released on K-RAA-K a good few years back. Self-titled, b&w sleeve thingy, you know the usual micro-released avant-rock rec. The best bits sounded like Surface of the Earth (good!), the worst bits like someone couldn't work out how to turn the fucking delay pedal off. Also some Toss/R.O.T. recordings on that three-way split CD Veglia did - other bands were Sandoz Lab Technicians and Ashtray Navigations. The Ash.Nav tracks are killer. Really Toss are damning themselves with a name like that! http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=3836526 |

From Kraak records website page for TOSS:
Toss could stand as the mothership for what Veglia stands for. Started out as a more floating drone-band in the early days it quickly changed into a monster with a high focus on “freewheeling” improvisation. Sometimes layers of noisy guitars are smashed with radio-frequencies and irregular drum patterns. But even so there are quite moments with hints of romance in it. They use anything they can find: broken tapedecks, violins, building tools, and love to improvise along the way. The debut album from this vaguely guitar oriented Belgian trio searches lines into the dessert. The field is filled with foggy waves, tickles sustain the sonic sprawles and cloud the area. The structure of most songs vary from ultra-minimal course to rock/pop timed changes, but the wire will run through your brain. The sounds and melodies build an overall density. The colour experiments of such avant guitar bands lead you into a (new) world of industrial solitude and madness. http://www.kraak.net/en/releases.php?ID=10 |

Thanks sonicl. I really didn't know what to think of it.

I finally picked up TV shit the other week there, in the name of completionism... walked past it in the record store a few times... my eyes flickered over the £12 price sticker and made me faint hearted... but eventually picked it up... i knew what i was getting myself in for, 9 minutes of crazed harcore noise... the kind that early black dice pulled off a lot more competently... hold that tiger is awesome... silver session is half an hour of feedback textures and the occasional malfunctioning drum machine... it's awesome... someone on this board once referred to it as "glacial" which is a fairly apt description in my mind... like slow motion hail stones or clinical fog.... |

![]() Hmm amazon doesn't have it anymore though... Anyways, there were more than 2000 pressed of Root. But there was this limited edition package that was packed in a vacuum cleaners bag. I thought there weer even less than 2000 of them made. I have the regular CD version, but I hardly play it. But I'm not that much into the expirimental solo stuff anymore anyway. Silver Session was a cool concept. Throw a bunch of guitars in a room, set the volume to eleven and see what happens :P It didn't turn out that bad either

The T.O.S.S. track on the Ashtray Navigations/ Sandoz lab technicians CD is really quite good, if you like that sort of thing. And if you don't like that sort of thing, you really should sort your life out in a fairly major way.
