...according to our Phil on Wed 28 May, 2008.
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...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.
