Well I picked this up from the A389 Bash 02/10 somewhat secretly, but I already cracked the case somewhere in between unwrapping the tissue paper wrapped case complete with button, like a schlub. I kinda bought this without listening to it online hoping for the surprise element to be just that. Turns out to be noise which I kinda knew going in but wasn't quite positive. Four tracks two per side all around 3 minutes in length. I don't always know how to judge noise tapes because well obvious reasons. But turns out this was type of noise a dig no harshness really, light harsh and eerie-ness, a mix of horror/sci-fi type of soundtrack. The few samples on here seemed to add to the overall feel rather than distract like a lot of samples tend to do. The tape itself flowed very well overall it was rather intriguing. It didn't drag which is what I feel most noise experiments people have tend to do, and I know that's the point with droning projects but those bore me all too often. If you are interested in hearing the tracks look to here http://highpriestess.bandcamp.com/album/mmxii-demo, the secret bash ones are gone, the first press of 25 are gone but there are intentions of a second press so keep an eye out here http://sheunholy.bigcartel.com/ or maybe I'll distract myself from reviews and post a news update up when I hear that they are on their way.
