CURSED AETHER - I
THIS RELEASE WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED TO BE SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO SHEETS OF SCREEN PRINTED, CORRODED COPPER. AFTER OVER TWO YEARS IN THE ELEMENTS, I CHECKED ON THE COPPER SHEETS ON MY ROOF ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY WERE NO LONGER THERE. I HAD ORIGINALLY DEMOED A FEW OF THESE IN A PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE WITH A COLOR INSIDE. I CAME ACROSS A FEW OF THE SLEEVES READY FOR DISCS. SO, AFTER THE FRUSTRATION OF LOSING THE COPPER SHEETS, AND THE FACT THAT THIS MATERIAL IS OVER TWO YEARS OLD AND SOUNDING DATED. I DECIDE TO RELEASE THIS AS-IS. A MAXIMUM TOTAL OF 20 IS MY GUESS OF WHAT IS OUT THERE. ALSO THE SLEEVES WERE ERRONEOUSLY MARKED ESNRL #023 (BUT IS NOW GIVEN: ESNRL 029)
REVIEW FROM MUSIQUE MACHINE:
'I' is the first release from Cursed Aether; this is a sub project of Griz+zlor's Paul Dever and each release is dedicated to moon worshiping HNW, with all recordings happening during full moons.
First off it's worth mentioning the package for this CDR; the disc comes in a black ink on white paper slight over sized folder which opens up & inside you find a dramatic colour painting of mist shrouded mountain scape; which adds a bit of class to the release. Sonically Dever offers up a twenty two minute track of fast moving & rather hypnotic wall making, the sound I guess is a little cleaner & less dense than Griz+zlor work. The track stays in fairly tight looped electro static form for most of it's run time with Dever occaisionaly adding in sudden longer curls of static tone release, but really this is all about trapid, focused, rewarding and looped 'wall making'
Another very worthwhile & nicely made 'wall' of noise from Mr. Dever with the added extra of some neat & dramatic package. Drop into Cursed Aether Griz+zlor blog here for info & how you can pick up a copy for yourself.

CURSED TAPE
FROM ARCHAIC EARTH TAPES. THIS IS AET003.
THIS TAPE WAS INSPIRED BY THE "RINGU" (THE RING) SERIES OF MOVIES.
I MADE ONE MASTER TAPE, AND I MADE ONE (!) COPY OF IT AND MADE IT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. THE PERSON WHO GETS THE TAPE IS THEREBY OBLIGATED TO COPY THE TAPE, ARTWORK AND ALL, AND SELL/TRADE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. ALONG THE WAY THE PERSON ADDS THE NEXT SEQUENTIAL NUMBER ONTO THE BACK OF THE INSERT. IT IS MEANT TO BE ALSO PART EXPERIMENT, TO SEE THE COPIES CHANGE TONE/PITCH BETWEEN MULTIPLE COPIES BETWEEN PEOPLE. TO SEE THE ARTWORK DEGRADE...
MAYBE IT WILL MAKE IT'S WAY BACK TO ME EVENTUALLY.
(IF ANYONE HAS PICTURES OF THEIR COPY, E-MAIL ME AT GRIZZLORSMASH AT GMAIL DOT COM AND I'LL ADD THEM TO THIS THREAD. THANKS)

B-Version:
MUFF OBSESSION
AN UNCREDITED TAPE OBSESSING ABOUT THE SOVTEK BIG MUFF PI. VARIOUS ERA'S OF THE PEDAL WERE USED IN CREATING THE SOUNDS. CAME OUT IN AN EDITION OF 30, AND WAS ONLY ANNOUNCED ON THE HNW FORUM.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN I WOULD SAY WE WILL SEE MORE IN THIS "OBSESSION" SERIES. AGAIN, I ALSO WOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH FOR A REVIEW. THIS IS THE FIRST RELEASE FROM THE DESICCATED HUSK LABEL.
