Tribes of Neurot - Static Migration

Описание: Static Migration (Release, 1998) is an exceptional collaboration between Neurosis (in the more experimental, multimedia guise of Tribes Of Neurot) and Scott Ayers, the Texas-based experimentalist (formerly Pain Teens) who now goes by the name Walking Time Bombs. The music on the record is entirely instrumental, performed by an eleven-person ensemble and mostly electronic. Guitars are used like synthesizers, only to emit long, sharp drones. Probably the protagonists are Steve Von Till and Ayers, the “painters” of this extremely violent and degraded scenario.

The record opens under the banner of Steve Roach's electronic poems: Unspoken Path begins with a patchwork of eerie nocturnal sounds, but then the loops of dissonance take over with their stupefying trance effect. Rust releases a languid distorted guitar solo over a complex African polyrhythmic drum pattern. Recurring Birth opens with a vortex of percussive and found noises, all ingeniously manipulated in the studio and mixed with bass chords. In Origin Unknown the guitars intone oriental dance steps that never complete - they just keep recycling unchanging and anemic, and in the end the feeling that remains is the angelic one of a Renaissance madrigal. The barbs and screeches of Blood And Water range from free-jazz, from Sun Ra and from the Rova Saxophone Quartet, to Gordon Mumma's explosive pieces. March To The Sun (sixteen minutes) is reminiscent of Helios Creed's more off-the-wall pieces, with the guitar swirling in spacey solos, a slaughtering rhythm, and sudden pauses of electronic disturbances. Overall this is a masterful work of electronic avant-garde.
The disc closes with the thirteen, dreamlike minutes of Edgewood, a mini-concerto of guitar chords left to float freely and then mercilessly looped against a distressing backdrop of indecipherable noise.
