IBM – “Oval Recording, The” – [Mego]

Max Level   10/16/2012   12-inch, A Library

2001 release by Ilpo Vaisanen and Mika Vainio of Pan Sonic with supreme noisemaker Bruce Gilbert. One 12″ and one 7″ in the package. No vocals. No beats. Nothing melodic. It’s all hum and feedback and bursts of static and dirty loops and electronic squelches and crunchy waves of distorted rumbling. On the 12″ there’s one long track on Side A and two medium long tracks on Side B. The 7″ has one short (3 to 4 minute) track on each side. Fantastic material if you want to add a degree of unease to your radio show– play it alone or layer it into a hellish KFJC-style noise mix.
