The black cassette comes in a pro printed black & white shelve- this takes in on it’s front cover, spine, and fold away grimy brick wall like textures. And on it’s inside a still from the film of the ripper walking away from his gutted female victim.

Each side of tape features a single track, and each of these is untitled. So first up we have the first sides track, and this features the following elements: A constantly bubbling & subterranean rumble. A coarse & crusty static jitter, and  a distant tumbling ‘n’ slightly roaming judder. These are brought together to create a nicely stark yet murderously brutal slice of wall-craft, which is bleak in it’s attack, yet moody & eerily atmospheric in it’s very  subtle layer shifts.

Flipping over to the second side, and this track features the following textures: A doomy & descending low end drone, and a rattling ‘n’ ripping crude judder. These textures are brought together to create a great feeling of bleak yet murky taut-ness, and this seems to drill deep into your very being with great grim effect.  I guess there is seemingly less layer movement here, but the effective blend of the two key elements makes for another very entrancing bit of wall-making.

Pretty much everything with Mr Skrobek name is  guaranteed to be a well conceived, arranged & thought out bit of ‘wall-craft’, or static based noise making. And Ripper 1976 is another prime example of this, as it offers up two compelling ‘walls’ which nicely fit the theme of the release.
