What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

I am the dark lord of dark ambience and here I am with the new Wicked Messenger CD which is on the useful Plague Recordings from sunny ole Belgium. Black Tourmaline is an extremely lovely package which includes a sticker, some ceylon tea (a fine blend) and a CD in a Black C Shell case.... all this is packaged in a square black wax sealed package. The majority of this music is constructed using a guitar apparently.... this is some deliciously dark ambience which reminds me a bit of Sunn... Droney, doomy, evil sounding. It's a real goat slaughterer... quite industrial sounding as well as there's a fair amount of clanking about in there. Darker than a dark thing.... lovely package! I do like a nice package me...I also love tea...If Brian makes me another cup of coffee I'm gonna hit him with it. I'm from Yorkshire and we drink tea here.... not fucking coffee...

What the label says:

Deluxe edition limited to 150 copies featuring a smartly silkscreened disc housed in a black c-shell case + sticker + a bag of black Ceylon tea (each with a hand-numbered black label), all packed in a square black, wax-sealed, envelope.

All tracks recorded during the Easter week of 2007. Black Tourmaline is the result of sound researches and experiments with the electric guitar. Very few non-guitar sounds (electronics & voices) were added.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
