Western Decadence is characteristic, quintessential ANAL BLASPHEMY: unhinged, untamed, morbid, murky, doomed, disgusting, primordial, PRIMITIVE. It's a sound both obedient to and defiant of black metal's ugliest, most underground-entrenched traditions; not for nothing is ANAL BLASPHEMY so justly named. But in other, more telling ways, Western Decadence is a new start for the band, or at least a very new chapter. The shambling shock & awe of early albums like Bestial Black Metal Filth and Profane Fornication Ejaculation has given way to a moodier and more considered ANAL BLASPHEMY, the roots of which began to show on the relatively more varied Perversions of Satan. Here on Western Decadence, Molestor Kadotus creates a succinct song-cycle whereby pulsing, hypnotic filth gives way to messy, melancholic laments, from headbanging almost-anthems to mulching electro/ambient soundcapes, and often with the haunting organic textures he's utilized in Musta Kappeli. And fitting for the band's grandest statement yet, Western Decadence is the first ANAL BLASPHEMY album to be fully recorded in a professional studio. Witness the fall of the West and feel deep devotion to the Devil: this is Western Decadence.
The Residents, Experimental, Avant Garde, Rock, Art; CD (1988) Used
God in 3 Persons was The Residents' first recording project which was designed from the beginning for CD. An LP album has to have a natural break in the middle of the music, with a strong beginning and ending for each side. CDs, which play straight through from beginning to end without a break, allow for a different organizational form, since works are only limited by the 74-minute total playing time. God in 3 Persons was also the last album that the band recorded using tape, the final project edited with razors and splicing tape. God in 3 Persons was also the first album the band did which was not published by Ralph Records; instead, it was released by RykoDisc.
Melbourne, Improv, Jazz, Abstract, Free Jazz, Experimental, Dr Jims, Electronic; CD (2003)
“This recording by Melbourne trio Western Grey (Philip Samartzis, Sean Baxter and David Brown), explores the liminal zone where our sonic expectations are problematised from the very start. Composed of pure acoustic fragments and improvisatory approaches which are strikingly juxtaposed with pure electronic abstraction and digital manipulation, questions of genre and musicianship, spontaneity and deliberation, the origins and intents of the noises we are hearing, are held in sharp contrast. Yet, though the divergent aural and performative qualities are obvious, there is, at the same time, a complimentarity of noise, an empathy of texture at odds with the alterity of each body of information. The four pieces comprising Glacial Erratic are exemplary of the inevitable fusion of electroacoustic composition and free improvisation, of pre and post-meditation in sound design and the embrace of chance, aleatory and chaos in performance.” – Sean Baxter

OMOIDE HATOBA got started as the solo project of Seiichi YAMAMOTO (guitars, ex-BOREDOMS) in 1987. He developed this project by recruiting Atsushi TSUYAMA (bass) and Chu HASEGAWA (drums), and released the debut EP 'Surfin' U.F.O.' in 1990. In the same year they released the debut album 'Dai-ongaku' via the oldest Japanese independent label Alchemy Records. Their eccentrically vintage psychedelic and avantgarde progressive style has been much approved and celebrated by lots of fans and reviewers. Since the release of the fifth album 'Kinsei' (1995) OMOIDE HATOBA have been the unsettled project around two bombastic players Seiichi and Atsushi - the dignified originality of OMOIDE HATOBA can be built up under battles of play by them.
