Attenuation Circuit – ACU 1017
Screeching, prying dark ambient assembled from ghostly hums, booming
percussion, and various field recordings. It’s a testament to post homo
sapiens’ power and sublime instrumentation that, even though it clocks
in at over an hour in its entirety, I never fail to become completely
transfixed by it, unable to look away from its first cry to its final
death rattles. If I were in a score-giving mood it would probably get my
highest rating. There isn’t much I feel compelled to say about it here;
I think the music does the talking. As the release page says: “PLAY
LOUD as one listening session.”
Listen if: you’re on an elevator, going up, somewhere: where? It doesn’t
matter. On each floor, the doors open and close. No one gets on with
you; nothing stirs the void beyond the doors. You don’t get off, either;
you’re not sure how, but you know that you have a long way to go before
you reach your destination.
