Minmae / Malasian Jungle Spaceship [coll] – [Try Not to Look Records]

Max Level   9/11/2007   7-inch, A Library

Minmae offers a mid-tempo rocker (4:00) with fuzzy vocals, fuzzy lead guitar, fuzzy drums, etc. The Malasian Jungle Spaceship side is an ambient piece (5:00) full of echo-y droning things and long sustained notes. I like the material on both sides, even though everything here sounds as if it was recorded in a closet 100 years ago on wax cylinders or whatever it was they were using back then: sonically primitive, highly compressed, no dynamic range. Oh well, sound quality isn’t everything. Each record individually lathe-cut instead of pressed. Limited edition of 30 copies.
