This first release on cassette label 905 Tapes sees both Tusco Terror and Wether filling their side of the C20 with subgenre experimental noise. Maybe it was the label blurb?s mention of snow that suggested the idea of colourless snowy wastelands, because Tusco Terror?s ?Pill Cake? definitely has that white-out fuzzed-out blizzard sound going on. Reminiscent of driving blind on a tyreless car?s cracked rims across Fargo country, for the most part ?Pill Cake? is the sound of obscured eyes and electric grind. While the noise is generated by something that?s undoubtedly broke, there are glowing cold shimmers peeking through a wavering buzz. The chosen climax of vocal shock sounds through a crap mic has an insane vibe, but feels tacked on to such a glutinous and ratchety beginning. Wether?s side, a single piece entitled ?Sleeping Place?, comes on like a muscled-up Aaron Dilloway cut ? levels of crusty germs piling on top of each other till they morph. Eternally spun marbles build layers at a punk pace spin, the seedlings of ideas taking brief prominence before dipping out. Thankfully Wether never loses his balance or slips into untrusting noise, it might never get especially harsh but it?s still got a good, craggy roughness to it. 7/10 -- Scott McKeating (23 July, 2008)
