This is a brand new project featuring James Brewster (Mole Harness, Make Mine Music, etc) and Andreas Beraha. On the CD (limited to 50) is one long epic 25 minute drone track which is incredibly dense. It was mostly recorded live using guitars, pedals, laptop and metal objects. I'm five minutes in now and it's gone all celestial on my ass. It's huge... I'm listening on headphones and my head feels like my brain has been replaced by this rich dense textured wall of fuzzy sound. Some of it sounds a bit church organy and I'm reminded a little of the Spire project that came out on Touch a while back. It just builds and builds into one of the most intense pieces of music I've heard in a while. It's essentially melodic noise music more than drone but I'd recommend anyone with a hearty interest in all things experimental to check this out.
