4...according to our Brian on Thu 20 Aug, 2009.

Another week, another fine drone/ambient release, this one is from Jason and Shinobu through the mercurial Install. Slow waves of evocative drifting textures are randomly assaulted by sinister outbursts of grizzled fuzz, creeping up the sides of the stately walls like curious splashes of acid whilst someone in the distance metrononically taps a length of piping in an echo chamber. Further investigation reveals a CD that is quite bleak & industrial, kinda post apocalyptic. The sounds on 'Headless', for instance, seem corroded, decaying, creaking, rusting yet incredibly thought provoking, later I hear skeletal feedbacking tones and the disembodied fuzz of some malfunctioning transmitter, that electroid chirruping I love so much with plenty of cool industrial clanking & scraping from a way away - all this I find both strangely comforting & peacful! I think the appeal of this release is the sound displacement, noise & sound detritus seemingly coming from various distances, through walls and floors, other dimensions. A really absorbing release from a top quality stable, 'Dispel Space Time Lust' is CD only, 100 pressed!

Hot on the heels of our Peter Wright double-album, we are proud to bring you another album you will want to hear at unholy decibel levels: DISPEL SPACE-TIME LUST by the collaborative duo of Jason Adams (Heptangular, Wordsalad) and Shinobu Nemoto (Summons Of Shining Ruins). Both heavy and heartbreaking, Dispel showcases the strengths of both artists in a powerful way...sad, violin-like swells of guitar give way to mangled and desolate atmospherics, while on other tracks we seem to be locked inside an aural prison of blackness, smog and the scent of burnt hair. The recording itself also seems to have been significantly damaged, with crusts of tape noise and warping throughout, giving us the feeling that Jason and Shinobu consecrated the master tapes in a fiery ritual inside a cave on Mars. Fans of both Shinobu's work as Summons as well as Jason's work as Heptangular (see below) would likely find this album to be an essential body of work, and one worth hearing for anyone who loves massive onslaughts of guitars writhing in and out of a bleak universe, conjured by two very seasoned mages, and only here at Install.
