...according to our Brian on Thu 23 Jun, 2011.
This tape was recorded in a specialist record/comic shop in Jerusalem last January. I don't know whether this is a great doom/drone recording or not but it is mightily dense and heavy. Cavernous blasts of downtuned heaviosity lunge at you as the incidental viscous trails of molten feedback curl around your mind, the whole foreboding resonance of the thing being most primitive and crushing. I can handle this kind of stuff only for a while before my ears start to hurt from the aggressive low-end rumbling frequencies. Unfortunately to fully appreciate it you do need total isolation in a smallish room or follow my choice for maximum punishment - headphone immersion. 'Romeo' is forged from undoubtedly powerful material that whips up a right old shitstorm of mercurial aggression, there's truly no escaping this audio bulldozer, oh no. Nice one Mr O'Malley!
Recorded at Uganda, Jerusalem seventeenth January two thousand eleven

Listening instructions: focused, intently and without distraction or other purpose.
Edition of 250 copies
Part 2 of a 3 cassette series on [d]EDITIONS MEGO. SOMA's lucubrate excursion researching repetitive minimalist/primitive solo electric guitar is presented here in the form of pure abstraction and oversaturation.
Recorded at the underground venue/library UGANDA in January 2011, situated in Jerusalem's new city. Romeo projects one man's personal encounters within Jerusalem's "old city" walls for a repeated time: the intensity, dementia and absurdity of the human condition; the magnetism & repulsion of Solomon's ruin; encountering primitive arcane spiritualism & beauteous living passion; and being affected & subjected by these encounters.
