Turk Knifes Pope, Performance crippling data restriction
(Zenflesh) CD
"Music from the edge of the bed" runs the label tagline, but I doubt
TKP made it even that far, their virtually non-existent shavings of
treated noise wash into and out of silence like the contented dreams
of an electronic brain made audio. The music is one hour-long
movement which, although melting at times into several discernable
segments, makes it impossible to talk about songs or tracks as
such. Better to note that, as with so many experimentalists
(see our Big
Block 454 interview), there's a method in the slumbering
madness---in this case audiopsychological experimentation into minimal
differences motivates the Bowery Electricism and
mutation/repetition...but quite what results are to be expected is
anyone's guess. Continuing the research on the sleeve, the listener is
confronted with apparrently random collections of 3-letter words, so
it's fitting to end the review with another: Eno. PO Box 252065, LA,
CA 90025, USA. panic@zenflesh.com
