EAR INFLUXION

Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

This Heat: “Rainforest” (This Heat, 1979)This Heat’s first proper album is such a far cry from the John Peel Sessions recorded before it. I much prefer this more caustic, tape-infused sound more,...

D.A.S. D.A.: Features, Vol. 4 (Repitch)D.A.S. D.A.’s curious double acronym name comes as a result of its various contributors. Primarily it’s the trio of D.Carbone, Ascion and...

Anders Brørby: Nihil (Gizeh) Norwegian artist Anders Brørby’s latest album Nihil continues his move away from conventional sounds, starting with an unfurling haze of diffuse sound....

Hecq: Night Falls (Remastered) (Hymen)Ben Lukas Boysen released Night Falls as Hecq in 2008. At the time it was a considerable shift in focus for the project, moving away from the...

Z’EV: “Solo Z#2″ (Rubhitbangklanghear Rubhitbangklangear, Sub Rosa 2013)Z'EV’s “Solo Z#2,” one of his solo pieces from his collaborative double album with Charlemagne Palestine, is...

KMFDM: “Ganja Rock” (UAIOE, Wax Trax! 1989)In my younger industrial music listening days, I was a big Wax Trax! enthusiast, even as I more or less missed the boat on it all; TVT had just bought them...

Throbbing Gristle: “Hamburger Lady” (D.O.A.: The Third and Final Report, Industrial 1978)A true classic whose weirdness remains unique and fascinating. TG were nothing if not unpredictable, but it’s...

KMFDM: “More & Faster 243″ (UAIOE, Wax Trax! 1989)(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Aïsha Devi: Of Matter And Spirit (Houndstooth)Rob Booth’s Houndstooth label has consistently delivered on the label’s mission to provide an outlet for interesting new voices...

Ancient Methods: “Untitled A1″ (Fifth Method, Ancient Methods 2010)Crunchy and gnarly atmospheric techno from the Ancient Methods camp, sort of two cuts in one as it shifts shape into a chunky...

Wolf Eyes: “III” (Slicer, Hanson 2001)Wolf Eyes’ personal brand of experimental music runs the gamut from full-on ear-splitting noise to more curious rhythmic workouts like this one from one of...

Concrete Fence: “Caulk” (New Release (1), Pan 2013)Another nice raw jam from Russell Haswell and Karl Regis O’Connor as Concrete Fence. It’s the creeper sandwiched in between otherwise thick and...

Bruk Rode: The Wolf (Deca Rhythm)Rude with an attitude, “The Wolf” comes on strong with a pummeling distorted kick that recalls Test Dept as much as if not more than, say, Beltram. It has only a few...

Acre: Better Strangers (Tectonic)“I tried to include more emotion in this album than my previous releases and wanted to represent a broader side of my productions. The title Better...

Die Form: “Dog Handler” (Archives & Doküments, Normal 1988)Die Form always seemed like the unsung heroes of innovative and unusual experimental music. At times they veered into almost...
