Ant here with a cassette from the The North Sea. A fine way to begin my working day. The tape consists of two long tracks, the first 'Cyclones' is a howling and sinister doom laden piece with a really wicked sinister guitar sound. As the track progresses the structure is dissolved as a big woosh of noise and effects overtakes the doomy sound and phases all over the place. 'Milk Money' on the B-side is even messier and murkier with a great lo-fi sludge sound and some serious low end rumbling with huge lashes of distortion and disorientating sci- fi sounds... Blimey for a moment there I thought the dark lord himself was going to appear. Almost Perfect is a mucky beast indeed. Edition of 100 on Blackest Rainbow.

Brad Rose of Digitalis has been busting the North Sea jams for quite sometime, and in the last year or so its developed from being a luscious garden, to a complete metallic desert of industrial waste land, Christian Bale and his co-stars would probably feel at home with this being the soundtrack to the next Terminator flick, and who knows, maybe it will be? The A side, Cyclones, is a pure doom soaked 11 minute beast. Side B's Milk Money is a fuzz layered nightmare of scolding blowtorches burning at your face and mind... Intense and bleak. Bleak forestry cover art, pro dubbed cassettes, limited to 100 copies.
