| Description | : SOLEILMOON RECORDINGS SOL072CD; TOO BAD, ITS JUST A DREAM. KILL YOUR PARENTS. RECHT NEUES MATERIAL (1995-1997) DES LEGENDÄREN FRÜH-INDUSTRIAL-SCHAMANISTEN! SEHR UNGEWÖHNLICHE STIMM- UND PERKUSSION-EXPERIMENTE, VIELE CUT-UPS & VERWIRRENDE ZITATE.. , THE SECOND VOLUME IN A SERIES TITLED HEADS & TALES". "FACE THE WOUND BLENDS Z'EV'S POWERFUL RHYTHMIC SENSIBILITIES WITH A , HAUNTINGLY STARK MELODIC CONCEPTION TO ORCHESTRATE A VOCAL NARRATIVE DEVELOPED FROM CUT-UPS DRAWN FROM APPROXIMATELY 30 AUDIO CASSETTE TAPES COLLECTED FROM THRIFT SHOPS, GARAGE SALES AND FLEA MARKETS. IN KEEPING WITH HIS METHODOLOGY OF WORKING WITH FOUND MATERIALS, THE NARRATIVE/LIBRETTO WAS DEVELOPED FROM WORDS AND PHRASES GLEANED AND WOVEN INTO A POETIC WHOLE FROM OUT THESE OVER 45 HOURS OF CASSETTES. THE TAPES RANGE FROM SELF-HELP TO PYRAMID MARKETING SCHEMES TO MEDIA EVANGELISTS TO A TAPE FROM AN ANSWERING MACHINE USED AS EVIDENCE IN A TEENAGE HARASSMENT TRIAL [SUPPLIED BY A LAWYER FRIEND] TO ASSORTED LECTURES ON A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS; FROM MYTHOLOGY TO MENOPAUSE, ASTROLOGY TO THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY, THE FATE OF THE EARTH TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE. WHILE Z'EV IS KNOWN FOREMOST FOR BEING ONE OF THE MAJOR EXPONENTS OF ACOUSTIC PHENOMENA, FACE THE WOUND CONTINUES IN THE "HEADS & TALES" MODE BY BEING A WHOLLY MIDI/ELECTRONIC COMPOSITION. THE AFOREMENTIONED VOCAL CUT-UPS ARE SYNCHRONIZED WITH A BASIC TRACK OF ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION. WITH REGARDS TO THIS, IT IS WELL TO NOTE Z'EV'S MASTERY AT MERGING THE RHYTHMS OF SPEECH AND LANGUAGE AND THE DRUM. THE RESULTING STRUCTURE WAS THEN FURTHER ORCHESTRATED USING ELECTRONIC BRASS, TROMBONE, FLUTES AND ELECTRONIC TEXTURES." - LABEL PRESS RELEASE. |
