Niemand kann aus seiner Gitarrre so irre Sirenenhafte Sounds herausholen wie LEE RANALDO! Sein Beitrag zur neuen TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS Vinyl-Serie (immer mit etching auf einer Seite und auf farbigem Vinyl) besteht aus 4 variantenreichen Stücken mit lauten Distortion- & Feedback-Drones, wie ein Konzentrat der frühen SONIC YOUTH. Türkises Vinyl.
"...Like So Many Storms. "Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo was part of the original Table of the Elements 'Guitar Series' in 1993; now he returns with Countless Centuries Fled into the Distance Like So Many Storms. It's an epic earful, replete with shimmering textures and an inimitable charging clangor. With ecstatic, rocking squalor, he summons some dazzling shronk, reminiscent of early SY, the soaring drone of John Cale, and even the looping orientalia of Dream Syndicate-era La Monte Young. So duck and cover, as Lee fires an impeccably aimed fusillade across the screaming fields of sonic love. Pressed on sea-foam green marbled, etched vinyl. Etched artwork on the b-side by Savage Pencil." [label info]
".... Noisy crashing chords, chaotic and off kilter, over a super high pitched sonar like beep, weirdly hypnotic until it explodes into a full on psychedelic skreekout. The second track begins with an amazing tripped out, warbly warped guitar groove, which gives way to a weird high end drone doused in fucked up effects, so woozy it almost makes you dizzy just listening, and reminds us a bit of a fucked up set of bagpipes.
The final track begins with an echo-y almost-industrial space-y surfy riff, that shifts suddenly in pitch, creating mysterious melodies, super haunting and hypnotic, but this track too soon gives way to a massive amp blowing, speaker melting chunk of freaked out
Japanese style noise-psych. Whew.
Pressed on opaque swirled turquoise vinyl. One sided, the other side with a super bad ass etching by Savage Pencil, housed in a thick vinyl sleeve, and of course, as always LIMITED! " [Aquarius Records review]
