Severed Heads
“Since the Accident”
(Ink)
Official Website
Very strange early industrial from Australia. This is one of my favorite discs – but then, I love sound collage noise and these guys were pioneers of the technique. Bizarre tape loops with quirky electronic beats and layered synths. It was first released in 1983.
The version I have includes 10 tracks from the original tape, plus 5 additional tracks.
The songs range from fairly energetic industrial compositions (e.g. Dead Eyes Opened, Exploring the Secrets of Treating Deaf Mutes) to strange abstract constructions with found sounds, cut-up beats, backwards loops, etc. This is one cd I never get tired of listening to, though it is probably an acquired taste.
