This
is a full length album by Eon and what a full length it is! It is rather long, but that’s okay because
first hearing Eon as part of a split cassette has made me hungry for more and
this has helped to ease my appetite. (Although perhaps I should not be mentioning
food right now, as their split was with Fecal Vomit)
We
begin with some scrambles, and then also find ambient whirrs and
footsteps. There is an overall setting
like this is taking place in a boiler room and for some reason I imagine it
more closely to being the boiler room setting of an old WWE Attitude Era video
game as opposed to an actual boiler room which I have never been in.
It
gets haunting with some hollow glass sound.
We literally begin scraping the barrel (not in the way that the cliché is
meant to be insulting) Through the sharpness we get clanking noise and
air. Static blasts, whirring loops and
some knocking rhythmic beats take us into waves.
Someone
once told me that Guinness was the meal of beers, meaning that drinking it was
like eating an entire meal. I’ve never
really found that to be true because I can drink Guinness like water still, but
in many ways I do think of this CD as being like a meal in the sense that there
is a lot of it and it can be rather filling.
It is such a great way to follow up (or accompany) the split
cassette.
