Magnetize: "Ear Blink" (Trensmat) CD is a live recording of four tracks that originally came with a lathe cut 7" which sold out overnight when we stocked it. This offering opens with a slow burning drone piece that evolves into a glistening, shiny opus. Gathering more textures as it careens towards track four, 'Noise To Signal', the third track, layers sheets of gnarled distortion setting the pace for the end piece. Again this is limited so take head, get nerdy and keep checking the site for our constant supply of goodness.

What their label says...

Based in Ireland, Magnetize has been making noise since the early 90s using tape loops, old synths & and guitar stomp boxes that was initially heavily influenced by the likes of Suicide, AMM & Coil. Since that time his releases and gigs have ranged in style from blissful textures and primeval drones to dark electro/techno.

'Noise to Signal' utilises heavily processed guitar and modular synth to capture the raw immediacy of interstellar transmissions crackling with the high energy of cosmic radiation filtered through a particle accelerator hotwired to an amplifier. On the flip 'Hazing' sees the mothership return, reconstituted from the frontiers of chaos.

The additional CD 'Ear Blink' is a live recording from August 2006. Over 35 minutes it builds from a bed of textural drones, through dark melodic rhythms to full-on noise assault of freaked out guitarnoise & hanging sonics. An awsome racket.
