can't lie, this one ranks on the lower end of Matt S's oeuvre for me. (still a 4, which goes to show how high the bar is.) it's def Effluence's gimmickiest release, and i can't help but feel like he ~cheated~ a bit with the whole piano thing. the pianos are so distorted sometimes they basically sound like guitars...

yea I agree, it rules obviously but I’d put a bunch of his other releases over this, it’s kind of one-note in comparison. once the initial excitement of the gimmick wears off it has the least to chew on/come back to imo. last track is super cool

one-note in comparison, ye, my thoughts exactly



i wonder how it would sound if the pianos had no distortion at all. just pure percussive brutality

I categorize music like this under stuff like ambient and noise. I kind of tune in and out while listening, like I find comfort having some hideous bullshit on in the same way I adjust to a hot bath.

Very hard to rate tho because it kinda requires a different set of freak ears to appreciate.

my optimistic head cannon is: he celebrated the albums ‘release’ by taking some nightshade/datura (as seen on new updated album cover) and is still climbing out of it. While on the way back to reality he forgot and let go of all sorts of insignificant things, like his Bandcamp password

ok I'm out of the loop I thought this was just crazy music, I didn't know what's going on with the guy lol. I did listen to a lot of this on soundcloud with the tantric bile stuff.
