Fog Dance, My Moth Kingdom by Worrytrain.

This is a very good album. Thanks to the wonderful world of blogs I discovered this via a download and was so impressed I ordered it at great expense from Europe. Joshua Neil Geissler is Worrytrain. Joshua probably wonders why he sold one album in Brisbane Australia as in this day and age who buys CD's. This would probably be tagged as Neo Classical by some and I have no issue with that. The first track, prelude for piano and malaria, is a minimalist piano piece that screams to me Reich and Nyman but then over the top of his beautiful piano on celestial police Joshua adds screaming electronic noises that resemble strings and oboes. Hence the VU influence. "But is that it for VU influence" one may ask. Well no. The neo classical style carries on with for aushwitz, very sad and appealing is this and but then KAPOW we are smashed with thundertrance interlude that is white noise in it's extreme. Blinding and ear shattering that lasts for 3.05 minutes this kind of Noise music is an acquired taste and this is a long 3 minutes for those that may not have expected it. But for me it works. After the initial shock of this with now scores of plays I have come to "expect" this ear shattering experience. I mean it has to end, it is not Metal Machine Music after all and we get back to immediate neo classical sounds. I could chat away track by track but there is not much point in that. One should get the idea.

Here is the cover.

After these tragic beauties you now get smashed.



Without The Velvet Underground and their drones via the work of Reed and Cale I imagine that someone would have put together something like this somehow somewhere but they get the credit of influence from me.
