Rough Sex Quartet — Autobiography of a Seductress
On side A we have the first untitled track which starts with a brief sample of muffled looped sound and American male voice saying “I’d say rape is the only solution”. Then we’re pushed into this huge sounding wall of roasting ‘n’ rolling walled matter that’s built around: a grainy and muffled static press/dragging tone, a repetitive deep roaring ‘n’ roasting tone, and a deeply buried clamouring and barren simple percussive loop- these elements are circled and weaved together into a dense and unforgiving swamp of brutal sound for its forty five minutes running time. The 'walls' structure stays for the most part in recycling and repeating the sick and violent patterns in a dense mesh of unbreakable sound. The track has such a thick, nasty and sleazy edge to it- yet it’s also very complelling and moorish
Over onto side B and we of course have the second untitled track. This 'wall' rams straight in with brutal and punishing form- it’s centred around this very thick, deep and battering noise tone repetition that's the sonic equivalent of a barrage of rapid punches to the stomach. Underneath this central and relentless battering is: a buried stark billowing tone and possibley another battering layer of stark percussion( but as it’s so deeply buried I’m unsaw if it’s there or it’s my mind playing tricks on me!). This track feels even more violent and unrelenting in it’s attack than the first side, I think this is due to the main tone been so powerful, fixed and brutal in it’s stanch. Again there’s a really nasty and sleazed edge to the wall, and though it’s maybe not as moorish as the first side it more then makes up for it in brutal sonic torture and intense sustained 'wall' battering.
The track has a nasty sting in it’s tail, as at around the thirty six minute mark this grating and screaming sound loop appears from out of the wall- it sounds like an electronic goat abussed, and at first it rather freaks you out(as you’ve become so engrossed in the locked battering), but ultimately it really ends the track on a great bitter and unhinged note.
The tapes cover and inlays nicely enhance the tapes sleazed feeling with old black and white pictures of women sniffing drugs, two females toughing and a picture of what looks like a dug-up skull on top of a pile of books!.
“Autobiography of a Seductress” is a depraved & violent journey into sleazy 'walled' matter that runs with touches of locked extreme drone music and instrumental Power electronics elements. It's deeply nasty and sleazy, but somehow very appealing- much like Joseph W. Sarno movies I suspect!.
