DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Another dose of ugly, industrial noise skull-fuck from Mutant Ape, this one coming to us via RRRecords's long running Recycled Music series of re-purposed pop music tapes re-recorded over with various transmissions from the global noise underground. The solo harsh noise project of prolific skull-basher George Proctor (who also runs the Legion Blotan/Turgid Animal labels and plays in such C-Blast faves as Brit blackened punk stompers Sump and the amazing trans-Atlantic power electronics outfit Minotaur), Mutant Ape has produced some terrific skuzzy murk over the years, and here delivers two untitled side-long tracks that wallow in a low-fidelity psychedelic din that's way more decayed and murky than usual from this project (though its hard to tell if that's due to the recording itself, or the format). Seems less crushing than usual for the Ape, more like a washed-out noisescape of reverb-drenched factory rumblings and metallic drones, but it's pretty punishing when you blast this tape at serious volume levels.
The first track/side is a cloudy noisescape swarming with piercing feedback flux and tectonic rumbling, thunderous whooshing effects and rampant flanger abuse, traces of heaving rhythmic movement occurring beneath the filth-encrusted electronics and feedback drones, at some points revealing huge chunks of distorted bass-guitar sludge. Gusts of phased electronics scream like nuclear winds over the concrete-mixer noise and roaring turbine distortion, and at times one gets the impression that you're listening to a filthy, partially melted copy of C.C.C.C.'s Gnosis that has been left out in the elements for the past nineteen years.
The other side features some monstrously heavy bass guitar rumble that starts the side off with a heavy-duty dose of power-drone before Proctor starts unleashing his crazed electronics, a squealing raging cacophony that quickly takes over the side, transforming into a dense harsh noise assault. Later on, he introduces clusters of ominous keyboard drone and blasts of junk-metal, and the second half of the side ventures into slightly more subdued and atmospheric territory, shifting towards the end into a roaring black-hole mass of formless chaos.
This stuff is almost feels more aligned with the psychedelic industrial din of Finland's Haare than the crushing destructo-electronic avalanches that were documented on Mutant Ape's Whats Left? collection. Good stuff.
