Up first we have ‘Gray’s Harbour’ which comes in just under the twenty four minute mark and it  finds Paris throwing you straight into tearing sonic mayhem of  wind battering & sea scoring HNW matter. The tracks thick & roaring wall of sound is built around a long  mid-paced storm wind & salty water jittering static tone which Paris unfolds in a nice searing & enjoyable manner through of the pieces length. For most of it’s life the track tends more towards unchanging wall making through Pairs throws in some nice bending, bowing &  distant crashing tones here and there which bring to mind huge steel ships crashing & slamming into rock outcrops, icebergs or other ships in a huge roaring, tearing & crashing sea storm.

Track two is entitled ‘Atlantic Fist’ and this comes in just under the twenty minute mark. The track opens up with a brief sample of a radio sea storm warning before it kicks in with roaring & tearing wall of sound. This track is a lot faster, battering & active in it’s attack than the first track. The wall of sound starts off sounding like a speed-up & amped up recording of a looped sea storm textures, as the track progresses Paris starts develop more battering subzones which pound & hammer each other under the main tone; these  sub-tones bring to mind a huge twister rattling & battering a ships windows & moorings as it's pelted with  nail like rain on every surface.

So ‘Water’ is a nice thick, battering & sea storm licked take on wall making which shows Paris really has a great ability to build brutal unforgiving walls of sound that  move with  subtle yet rewarding textural change, yet they never loose there thick & punishing texture. This release dates to 2008 & there’s only one other split release listed for Rack…so whether the projects still active I’m unsaw, but if you dig thick & unforgiving walls of noise which offer up rewarding & subtle textural changers this is a must have.
