Arklight "Nolo Contendere/Rakkasans" 3'' cd-r


Two tracks of twisted pounding drone. The first track is more methodical, slowly building with a pounding grind. Wheels turning slowly, but sharp stabs spring up to create a tension of back and forth. The pounding isn’t a drum, it’s too relentless and kind of numbs your cortex in the right way to make your head swell.

The second track is more of a raucous effort, a full band effect of pounding some raw energy into a form of controllable propulsion. Similar to the Gosling’s output, but less dense, more driving. The tension is less violent than the first track, almost a sped-up, more rock version of the first track. 7/10 -- Andrew Murdock Livingston (1 September, 2010)
