The lime green tape comes in a plastic bag, and this features a double sided PC printed cover. On the front cover we get a selection of colour stills taken from David Crongberg's film adaptation of  William S Burroughs infamous, perverse & heady 1959 novel Naked Lunch.  And on the back cover is a picture of bullets and track listings etc. All in all it’s an effective enough bit of DIY packing.

So moving onto the ‘walls’ themselves, and each side of tape features one long track that comes near to the tapes sides running time.  On side one we have “Un Garçon Bleu De Métaux Lourds”- this track opens up with a low-down ‘n’ muffled rumbling texture, fairly soon we get another layer of rumble added onto the wall, and this mimics the first tone in pattern & tonality. Then at just after the minute mark we get this thinner mid-range & chalky like locked jittering texture added to the other elements.  As the track progresses the deep down rumbles remain fixed & taut, but the  jittering texture does shift ever so often in it’s feel & depth, moving from thin-to-thinner.  Around the 10th minute we pan back to a rapid yet meaty cable like judder, and this is underplayed by thinner & smaller skipping static tonalities. At around the 12th minute we thin back to just a clumsy  bass judder, but pretty soon this is joined by a crisp down fall of thinner crackling static grain- the rest of the track shifts through a few other rewarding textureal matts.  All in all this is an effective ‘wall’, and I like the way it starts off fairly fixed(at least with one layer) for the first half, then later on moves into subtle shifting maps of atmospheric yet seared textural meetings.

Flipping over to side two, and we have “Substance Queer”. This track opens up with a very muffled ‘n’ throaty like low-revered motor rumbling texturing, and sliding in out of these slicing ice skating & ski-in-snow type textures.  The motor rumble texture stays fixed through-out, but the slicing/ skating textures nicely move from been dense & claustrophobic, to minimal ‘n’ crisp…also both elements nicely shift & blur into one another, before suddenly slamming back in with a meaty gut punching. Around the 11th minute the track pare down to a thicker motor rumble/ purr, and this gets added to by this thin sheen of tautly textured rain shower like static- the remainder of the track moves through both dense & slightly pare back textural tensions. Once again this is another worthy ‘wall’, which complements the first ‘wall’ well, yet mangers to have its own taut yet atmospheric vibe.

So in summing I’d say the both ‘walls’ here are satisfying & rewarding in their unfolds & textural make-up. So all in all this is a great start to this new project, and I look forward to hearing what the pair do in the future…I’m not sure if there are any copies of the tape edition of this release left, but you can certainly check & download the digital version here
