"grainy guitar undulations loop and mysterious energy billows immediately on the Heat Sureens side. replete with crystal-covered guitar loops and a diverse voice, this side visits some beautiful places, especially in the beginning of track 2. ascendant, introspective loops drift serenely in the presence of the inner burning flame. music that exhibits various moods, such as the periodic shrieks, thick buzz and quivering ambient noise present in the third track. in the last track, blurred notes form a delicate web while other sonic elements hover. this side of music is played on repeat.
I am Just a Pupil follows up an excellent contribution to the Worn Habit noise comp with some of project's best material. right from the start the collage of noise and ambient sources asserts itself, seemingly merging with ease given the disparate elements: strident crackle, foreboding drone, quivering noise, gentle sound. the recording has the quality of sounding removed and proximate concomitantly. the effect is to endow the music with the quality of a hazy dream. nearly half way through, the more harsh elements abate leaving behind a beautiful ethereal/new age vibe. this part of the track is something to which I look forward with each listen. even as the track progresses, this light and airy feeling remains. the mood shifts near the end prior to the tape unexpectedly ending." honest bag

esta cinta es tan especial, tan irreal y bonita, que no dudé en incluirla en la lista de discos favoritos habiendo escuchado tan sólo (lo confieso) unos minutos de dos canciones. pero qué minutos... lo cierto es que no había forma de escucharla porque estaba agotada en el sello, incluso en tomentosa, y nadie tenía una copia en formato mp3, ni siquiera el propio Sean McDonald (Heat Sureens), lo cual acrecentaba el deseo de tenerla o al menos escucharla. al fin, Sean le pidió a un amigo que se la pasara a mp3, y después de una corta pero larguísima espera por fin podemos disfrutarla y compartirla. nada de lo que pueda decir le haría justicia, tan sólo las siempre preciosas palabras de Honest Bagger. el clima es exactamente el que refleja la foto de la portada interior.
ojalá que Light Tapes siga desenterrando para nosotros tesoros descatalogados que en su momento desaparecieron en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, como Om Rivur Yarrow, Chiliad o Jonas Frederiksen (qué cucos, las dos primeras son inencontrables en cualquier formato) y también novedades exquisitas como este split o '12th rain of the oscillating universe' de Clime. cintas con ese algo indescriptible (sonido con mucho grano, como una foto en blanco y negro hecha con carretes caducados y una vieja cámara rusa), que también tiene todo lo que edita Worn Habit. más que música, un estado de ánimo. Light Tapes is on hold for now, pero espero que no por mucho tiempo. recemos...
