Rare Sensation album
 $10.69   
Plague Soundscapes is the Locust's first release for Anti, the Epitaph offshoot that includes among its intellectually superior ranks Tom Waits, Eddie Izzard, and Buju Banton. Have these respected dinner guests encouraged the Locust to serve up something less severe for dinner? Of course not. Plague Soundscapes is a churning miasma of sonic goo, a grindcore steam shovel with an insatiable appetite for shock and awe. Twenty-six-second bursts of tinfoil-biting noise molt into cohesive songs. Cheeky titles like "The Half-Eaten Sausage Would Like to See You in His Office" and "Priest With the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Get Out of My Bed" disguise tightly wound arrangements that include insanely intricate drumming, assaulting keyboard squiggles, fantastic tag-team screams, and reams of razor-wire guitar. It only takes 21 minutes for this noise blanket to fully cocoon the listener, but a few more to really figure out ...
| | Erase Errata At Crystal Palace CD (2003)
Rare Sensation CD music
$11.49
Erase Errata's second album, At Crystal Palace, continues the band's ongoing flirtations with order and chaos, ping-ponging between the two with such ease that it's clear that even their most disjointed moments are under their control. Songs such as "Driving Test" and "Go to Sleep" are as angular and tense as ever -- the way Jenny Hoyston snarls "Go to sleep!" on the latter ensures a string of nights spent with eyes wide open -- but every now and then the band lets down its avant-garde and allows some melodic, and even poppy, moments to exist within its formidably sharp music. "Ca. Viewing" is one of Erase Errata's most accessible songs, at once prickly and playful. Meanwhile, "Let's Be Active c/o Club Hott" and "Surprize It's Easter" are both slightly more melodic than their earlier work; Hoyston's vocals come ...

| | Books Lost And Safe CD (2005) (Import)
Rare Sensation album
$16.55
On their third full-length release, Lost and Safe, the Books show that they are back stronger than ever and from the beginning are subtly pushing new forms. Still present in the Books' song structures are string work and found sounds, but the inclusion of vocals from the bandmembers themselves gives Lost and Safe a depth that was only hinted at on Thought for Food and Lemon of Pink. The use of more vocals is never overbearing and works well with the other elements of speech, at times completing sentences or thoughts of particular samples -- the lyrics are printed with the sample text included as well. Rhythms and ...
| | Prurient Black Vase CD (2005)
Rare Sensation CD music
$12.19
Pitched somewhere between S&M fests -- a chunk of the album art might as well be Merzbow approximations if not direct outtakes -- and instrumental abuse that will prompt tinnitus checks while any dogs in the area dance wildly about, Black Vase shows that it just needs a day for Prurient to do what it does. Quite literally -- the whole album was recorded at a one-day session, with sole Prurient member Dominick Fernow occasionally helped by engineer Kris Lapke on drums and related beats. "Roman Shower" demonstrates that it's not only possible to create "ambient" music that irritates, but that even at low volume high-pitched squeals are just plain obnoxious -- and that to keep it going for 15 minutes is as perfect a way to find out just who will have the patience to listen to the rest of the album and who will run away screaming. At least after a while he breaks into extended periods of more conventional if frenetic feedback buzz, so by the time his anguished vocals appear at the end one can assume it's black metal without the beats and riffs. In contrast "Silent ...
| | Richard Pinhas East West CD (1980)
Rare Sensation music CDs
$15.59
Of all Pinhas' solo releases, this is probably the one which has worn least well. Some listeners at the time accused Pinhas of selling out, but regardless of his motivation, it is true enough that the pieces on this release are generally shorter than the norm for Pinhas, and a few of them have vocals in English. Thematically, the recording attempts to represent various cities musically, e.g., Houston, Kyoto, Paris, New York, Paris, although only the New York and Houston pieces have vocals which relate them in any way to the actual cities. Five of the nine pieces on the CD are mellow electronic ambience and could be described as early new age. They were definitely ahead of the curve, but as more and more musicians began to explore the capabilities of synthesizers, this sort of drifting ambience soon became quite commonplace. The best pieces of this group are those which combine the rather anonymous electronic keyboards with Pinhas' more personalized ...
