Nidhamu "Live Electronics & Drones" (supermalprodelica)


[€5 for Cassette // €7 to Download // https://supermalprodelica.bandcamp.com/album/live-electronics-drones]

This cassette is broken down into three different tracks, which two of would have to be on the first side due to length.   It's hard to imagine this being anything outside of its title but here we go anyway.

The first track is the middle in terms of length (neither the shortest nor longest) and it has high pitched electronics which sometimes can come through too sharply for even these veteran ears.   There are only slight frequency changes and as such it's got those elements of drone, which again is what the title claims.   It's almost like whale sounds or some form of sonar but before it ends there are darker tones of drone with some reverberating waves.

The second track is the shortest but is also "Part 2" to the first track so it makes sense they'd go together on Side A in that regard.    This track is full of stomping beats which have ooooh's in the background like a game of Pong.   They almost can turn into sonic booms with an aura of mystery and though it is the shortest of the tracks it does show the most character (That is to say seems the least bit drone)

Finally we have the third and final track which is also Side B and not coincidentally happens to be the same length as the first two tracks combined.    These are dark tone waves and eventually they have some slight beats in them (but ever so slightly, not too noticeable or heavy) and this is just the pure epitomy of what you think of when you see the word drone.

It is somewhat difficult to say anything about this that the title doesn't already sum up in a much more concise manner but I still do enjoy it and for fans of, um, what the title says you'll be wanting to add this one to your wish list as a cassette.
