Skrow040: Guitar Bastard - Planeswalking

Guitar Bastard - Planeswalking

Download album & art (106 mb zip)

Believe it or not, the perpetually delayed first installment of the Skrow! label compilation is officially coming out within a matter of days.  Yeah, I don’t believe it either.  It’s true though.  Srsly.  Meanwhile, feast your ears on the latest from our good friend Guitar Bastard…

One continuous 45-minute aural sphere of influence within which one may find themselves drawn, willing or not, into higher dominions of reasoning.  An incessant expanse of subtly fluctuating drones enveloping a limitless void of mystique and otherness.

Yeah.  Headphones, bro.

Tracklisting:

  1. Planeswalking (45:03)

Skrow034: Temp Sound Solutions - nut up or shut up

Temp Sound Solutions - nut up or shut up

Temp Sound Solutions - nut up or shut up

Download album & art (48.9 mb zip)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

It is with numberless audio-induced boners that we present this, the Skrow! debut of Temp Sound Solutions (abbreviated hereinafter as TSS).  Having been originally intended for the doomed Megatwerp label back in late 2006, documentation states that work began on this album as early as ‘99.  Seven years in the making and another four on a metaphorical shelf is serious business.

A dog’s age has not been in vain, however, as this schizophrenic and beautiful slice of audio abuse finally sees proper light of day in all its digital glory.  Feast your ears on driving chiprock, chill beats, hardcore breaks, delicious samples, and ass.  And ass.  Please, we beg of you, download this and allow it to fill your brains with glorious aural semen.  Do it.

Tracklisting:

  1. nut up or shut up (4:19)
  2. sleeping and famous (2:19)
  3. ass and ass (1:16)
  4. tamptamptamp (1:48)
  5. pwndotwav (c64mix) (3:30)
  6. superrebar (3:28)
  7. the course of matet and semktet (4:28)
  8. acacia (3:44)
  9. cruntin (4:18)
  10. temp 17 (spamtron mix) (2:01)

Skrow032: Guitar Bastard - In the View of the Mind’s Eye

Guitar Bastard - In the View of the Mind's Eye

Download album & art (38.6 mb zip)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Hypnotic buzz and swirling ghostly tones, a vortex of haunting sound for one to fall into.  One extended guitar-based soundscape from the aptly named Skrow! newcomer, known in other circles as shawn phase of temp sound solutions, who had this to say about the work:

“27 minutes of prepared guitar by yours truly. steinbererish koa/graphite into behringer v-amp2, operating table, fan/duster recorded/postrecorded directly to sony tc-570 3 head reel to reel and digital hdd simultaneously. monitored and recorded in stereo using univox/lafayette 80 watt quadraphonic hifi stereo system and randall 150w amp ran to a 4×12″ speaker to simulate stereo effects.

thanks to sony, sanyo fans, the luthier that made my guitar, the skrow family for embracing my weirder side.”

Dark meditations for dark minds.  Headphones required.

Tracklisting:

  1. In the View of the Mind’s Eye (27:00)
