Like
most people who are born with a brain and choose to use it, there was a time in
my life when I dove headfirst pretty heavily into Existentialism and had read
all the books, could quote them, etc. I
haven’t actually read anything under that particular genre recently because my
time doesn’t really afford me the ability to read much. Honestly, I can’t even remember the last book
I read but it was probably non-fiction and probably about music.
In any
case, when listening to this tape from Fuzz Town I immediately was convinced I
must be able to pick out the underlying elements of the Existential, which is
why it must be named as such. This is
not really that fuzzy, as the name would imply, yet it has these experimental
and instrumental qualities underneath the more forefront qualities of crunching
guitar loops and even industrial type loops.
On many
levels, I peg this one as being somewhere in between the darker works of an
instrumental Nine Inch Nails and the “In Utero” era of Nirvana. If you’ve ever wanted to know what
Existentialism is all about, the collected works of Trent Reznor and Kurt
Cobain are a good place to start. I
really like this because it feels like you’re in some sort of static nightmare,
like a manga I read once called “Bio-Mega”, and I’ve just never heard these two
particular bands mixed in this way before but it is quite remarkable.
