The
first eleven tracks are all Living Ornaments territory, and they
kick off this split lp release with "basterdsuiker"
Heavy cloudy crucnhy tones splurt out and a super dry alarm rings
out from the mist , casting a spell over all the listeners, as we
sneak into "oliespatten".
Bouncing
balls spread bouncey beats from ear to ear as a shrill call sounds
from the back of the cave, the melody completely surrounds you.
A mad hectic beat drops in for a chat but is subdued by the rich
dream melody which floods the place right up until the breakbeat
is back, to hammer its message across again. Cool track.
As we cross over into "schlifers" zaps and sparkles
bounce around a titanium marble creating zingy cuts as static
creeps into the party, and brings with it a ghostly piano melody.
"brandalarm" is next and once again drops you on a completely
different planet. Gases spit from exhaust vents and a subtle tinge
melody whispers through the haze and catches your ear. Super rich
in atmosphere.
"klokkend
gebrom" grabs you by the head and transmits robotic terror
dreams straight into your mind, luckily "vruchtvleses"
chills it right up. Look up into the sky as synthetic butterflies
float aimlessly in the warm currents rising up from the battling
heavy water pools below. Life in the pool and above mix audio
creating a rich fog of ticks, tacks and wavezips. Damn fine.
"borstvlies" then spits you out of its ejection seat
high up into the jetstream whicn encircles the earth. Simple ghostly
calls cruise high above the surface as some kind of protective
field,and as you break the pattern wave you create audio bomb
messages to the planet.
"Kwakzalver"
lets you sit on its back as it propels itself through the vast
emptiness. Full of tiny machines working overtime the flying beat
gives off a super manmade tune.A train with a power overload.
Brain food.
"Wenkbrauw" tags the hand of the last track and bomb
dives back to the planets surface with you all up in its cargo
bay. The bay full of stowaway stars gleams and sparkles with a
beautiful power. Glass bouncing off glass melodies for all. Watch
out "kwalrups" wants a word.A super fast ticking beat
sits in the corner to be joined by three thousand minature tv's
with no reception. Crackling waves of audio and minimal bursts
of reception pull you face first into the final track "groeispurt".
An air of menace fills the sky as scratchy beats three sixty around
your head and cannisters explode raining metal filings from up
high. Your ride is here, watch in amazement as the civilian carrier
craft floats down on a bubble of trimmed space, warping the static
call from eardrum to eardrum.
Living
ornaments have created the soundtrack to a high speed but precise
journey through somewhere you havent been before. I recommened
giving this a listen, let your ears use them jetpacks they have
been raring to have a go with.
Cool stuff.
Accelera
deck brings us the final four tracks, starting with "feedback
song". This track is a box of feedback fed through a blender
doing a gillion revolutions per minute, sitting on top of a trash
compacter.Watch out as thousands of tons of glass rains down from
above and nearly cuts you to ribbons. Madness.
"Eidolic"
tingles away with a harsh acoustic sounding melody, but develops
into an audio stream from a robots dormitory. As they wake up
and yawn, the stretches of the pulleys, levers, gears and electronics
inside, blast out sound across the room. A big mist of audio for
your eyes to explore.
Time
for "spangle". Long probes scratching at a metallic
surface scare the lizards away, as the vehicle in the distance
trundles its way across the desert, dragging behind it a bag of
energon cubes covered in loose baubles. A simple spooky melody,
miminal but exploring. The final track on this split lp release
is "landfall tusk", which takes a slightly different
line to the previous accelera tracks. An acoustic guitar strums
away, reminding you of hazy sunsets, and fields full of corn,
whilst droplets of glitch drip from the trees above, leaving dew
all over the show. Summertime on crackleplanet.
Narromined split lp #1 is a good blend of different styles. Living
ornaments takes you on a science fiction journey from planet to
planet, bouncing audio off you and catching the remainders to
process in a huge machine. Accelera deck is on more of an experimental
style, dropping thought inducing melodies and leaving traces of
forgotten memories in your databank, so you can mash them up later
on.
A
fine split release to check out. Definetly search it out.
