Notes
Eleven tracks clocking in at a total of 50:39. The only shitting on the album occurs in Bungthruster (where it's used to simulate a sort of wet-boots stomp) and in Nightstick Sodomy (for obvious reasons). I'm almost proud of this album - it has its non-sucky moments and it's a lot more structured than previous PPAC releases, with little to no reliance on canned loops.
Album title by PW, Wasteland inspired by mdxi, guitars by BURZUM, textural support from _Lasar, everything else by me.
Track Listing
01. Attrition : Drum-and-Bassy noisy intro thinger.
02. Main Bus Undervolt : Dark noise-techno that turned out surprisingly non-shitty. A textural setup for Wasteland. Track title taken from the Apollo 13 incident (the anniversary of which occurred the same day the track was finalized).
03. Wasteland (Total) : Making techno-industrial history by covering a song I've never even heard, Wasteland is a visualization of the Wikipedia synposis of the 1971 Emerson, Lake & Palmer album Tarkus. Suggested by mdxi, which is why he gets album credit. It's a given that the track, which is excessively techno-noise-jungle-military-industrial, bears zero resemblance to either the original or the intentions of ELP. This is entirely intentional.... and the results are entirely unintentionally nonshitty.
0:13 Impairment (Lead) : A voice (presumably someone on the insertion team) screams PROG ROCK SUCKS! as the choppers come in.
2:28 Evidence Of Structure : A military team explores the site of Tarkus' final battle.
5:18 Robodillo : OMFG TARKUS LIVES (some kind of ZOMBIE ROBOT ARMADILLO THING)
1:52 Manticored : (which then gets its ass kicked, again.)
1:14 Impairment (Follow) : The same complainer on the insertion bitches some more during the extraction.
04. Bungthruster : Semiambient stompnoise, with some wet slurpiness for texture.
05. Planet Of The Americans : More textural noise, with some Bart Simpson, screaming monkeys and gunshots buried in the background for creepiness.
06. Lungenscheisser : Dark ambient noise that goes very well with the back cover of the album.
07. Hydrocodone : Solios reading spam email.
08. Pythagorrhea : A sequence of triangles. Autechre failing geometry.
09. Bert Goes To Los Angeles : Setup for Whores Of Doom, featuring Beavis and Butthead and a variation on the loops and processing of WOD.
10. Whores Of Doom : You people are all whores. Nicely drawn-out dark techno that could be appreciated by anyone who actually likes Velvet Acid Christ or Lords Of Acid.
11. Nightstick Sodomy : Noisescape exit.
As usual, email me if you're interested in actually listening to this shit. There's been some interest at Goth Night and on IRC but so far the inbox is empty. Probably due to the complete lack of non-DCR interweb promotion. :)
