You are right about Eoc
, a little confusion with PS, even if we do not really know if it is WB or "friends" on it,
About EoC, here is a sharp description of the recording :
First, a huge thank you to Paulo at the Casa de Dolcett for taking
offense at my ignorance concerning EoC and mailing me a dub to set me straight (though I'm afraid at what it might cost me in the future!). I'm sure you're all interested in this piece, so I'll provide a quick description / review. I also retract my prior comments about documentary tapes - it in no way applies to this piece. Also, since this is a dub, I can only assume its the actual article and not a joke...
SIDE A
0:00
The Sleepers
Mid frequency wavering
Backward loops, rhythmic / propulsive samples
Backward guitar (ala Rampton)
competing rythmic loops
background synth wavering scales
High frequency distorted throb
Very much Rampton treated like Come Sunday 2 (from Fur Ilse Koch)
calms down to a heavy beat workout bottom with high feedback top
6:30
Wall of noise
frequency and tonal shifts down
non-rhythmic - becomes more ambient
what had been rhythm becomes sound incursions
8:00
White noise with Sci-Fi bleeps
9:00
Story begins - music becomes ambient throb backdrop
Story about the Leopard Society / Cannibal Club, which
captures people to eat and to save the fat from the body
to rub on themselves (for power) and how one person
became caught up in it. Much about knives, flesh, heads,
flesh from the private parts, secrecy, choking, drowning,
skinning, dividing of children into quadrants and cooking
them.
20:00
SIDE B
0:00
Wall of noise, loud
Video-game-like bleeps come shooting in
Siren-like rise and fall of synth
(Twisted) church organ-like scales
Underwater echo effects
Builds to a high frequency squeal,
with fast sliders falling off
Slowly goes down to a mid-frequency drone
Down to low rumble
6:00
Sci-Fi noise back (fast decay high frequency samples)
Gears shift up and down, finally settling mid-freq
Distortion enters, music settles back to ambient rumbling
8:00
Back to story...
More children skinned, dismembered, eyes cut out, arrests,
suits of human skin (from multiple victims), rules about
never eating from your own society, tribal factions,
disembowlings, three bladed knives, recipe for liver/heart
fetish...
14:00
Wall of noise jumps in, cutting off story mid-fetish
Mid-freq whine, with amp distortion providing rhythm
1-2-3-4,1-2-3-4 beat of treated synth
beats, bleats, off
17:00
In all, a bridge between Come and Whitehouse - very rhythmic (especially the
first half of the first side). Highly recommended , and definitely
something we need to see released on an upcoming Come Org Anthology - more
than half of this tape is unreleased music, the other half is an interesting
story with backing tapes. Nothing but pure, early Bennett (and friends? -
more info would be nice).
