Vestigial Limb “Immolation Ritual”

Small Doses

Vestigial Limb has released a steady stream of tapes, split 7” and CDRs in the past twelve months. On the back of this comes “Immolation Ritual”, a three track EP of long, industrial combustion of a limited print run of 117.

The EP has two halves. The first track “Guam” runs in locked layers of tone, static flow and deep guttural rumble. The second half starts with “Tinpan” involve wavering electronics expanding and contracting that becomes submerged in concrete recordings of bubbling liquid and accompanying static. This second half is where this recording is at its strongest. “Saipan” continues in the same vain, largely eschewing the sort of blanket noise of the first half. It is punctuated by seismic bursts that advance and retreat in repetitious cycle. “Immolation Ritual” paints pictures of rusted wastes and slowly collapsing landscapes in patient bursts that sting the ear. 8/10 — Alex Kakafikas (12 November, 2008)

I’m working with Jerome over at Basses Frequences to offer Aidan Baker’s Letters LP for preorder for the US and Canada.

AIDAN BAKER : letters (basses frequences)
MP3: sample

“letters” consists of 2 sidelong, slow motion drone pieces. meditative & introspective with haunting, ghostly vocals. subtle melodies create one of the most emotional Aidan Baker records to date. slow and quiet yet complex – each listen reveals new layers and the depth of this incredibly rich work.
this is not just another Aidan Baker, this is – after all these years – his very first solo LP ! reissue of a long out of print cdr originally released in 2002, remastered and pressed on 180g black vinyl with full color cover; the pressing honors the quality of the compositions.
