James Plotkin — Indirmek
With the two tracks totalling just over 70 minutes running time making this is a rewarding if in places a little padded out release. Track one Afyon runs just over 30 minutes and is very rewarding, It's built around unfolding often deep manipulated guitar drones & managers to maintain a impressive feeling of having dark passagers and more lighter airy passagers of sound. The whole track giving the feeling of passing though a vast breathing flesh cavern with a mix of wonder, fear and awe- Plotkin manipulates the tones so there’s a nice feeling of slow surprise as you drift from darkness to light and back again
The second track Amphetamine utilizes pc, power book & software to make an often jagged collection of electro loops and angry drones- that are layering, looped and often volatile nearing all out noise levels here & there. It’s interesting & clever enough, but the problem is at 40 minutes it feels way too long, towards the middle it really feels like he’s treading audio water & it's frankly rather boring. If he’d have cut out say the middle twenty minutes out- this would have been superb, as it stands it rather lets down the excellent & floorless first track. All in all worth picking up for the first track alone & you can just fast forward through the padding on the secound.
