Monorail Trespassing – mt138cd, S.A.P. – SAP01
Finally available after numerous delays, beginning in 2014 and pushing my OCD to the absolute brink. Special gratitude is due to Nolan Throop for his patience tolerating my insanity on this project, not to mention everyone else. I am proud to have made this available on disc as it is my favorite noise recording of all time, since I first received my copy from Artware Audio in 2001.
Originally released on cassette in 1996, TCD is, at it's core, a Mother Savage 'mega-mix' composition of Gilden's work as engineered by Joseph Roemer and Rodger Stella — encompassing his projects Sawgasm, Crackhouse, Depress/Regress, and work under his own name as the source material for a manic amphetamine-fueled journey through the highs and lows of various chemical states; encompassing unhinged harsh sessions that build to abrupt jump cuts and inspired use of the stereo field, primitive caveman percussion, psychedelic tape collage with short samples of Big Black and The Decline of Western Civilization along the way, all layered and edited with surgical precision — a true masterwork of advanced and inventive tape composition using the primitive instruments of 1990's recording technology well beyond their capabilities.
The 90's brought many instant classics to the noise genre, but TCD stands above them all as perfection, and should be viewed as a benchmark going forward. This transfer of the original master tape, done by William Hutson (Rale, clipping.), has been carefully engineered to preserve and enhance the quality of the original without compromising it's integrity.
Edition of 300 copies in digipack. Co-released with new Swedish imprint S.A.P., who will handle all European sales and distribution; distributors and customers are encouraged to purchase the disc via: saprecords@protonmail.com | https://saprec.wordpress.com
Out of respect for the sanctity of this material, it will not be available to stream or download at this time.
