Benign Neglect by S*Glass
The amount of tools and strategies used here might feel like a vertigo but only in the beginning when you adapt and react by tuning into this wholesome, radiant and well-rounded narrative that might feel like plunderphonics going astray.
Released by Bryan Day's Public Eyesore as a DL and a CD is a straight shoot of 60 minute soundtrack to urban neurotica. A collage of sounds, voices, done over the electronic landscape left me with an interesting set of feelings that are rather difficult to convey. A psychogeographical, musical trip through a vast urban biodome of things unobvious, and magical where all the elements and nuances play equally important role. The drama in this narrative is born in pain and a visceral analysis of all the completed samples, echoes, electronic and acoustic, field recorded elements processed and put together in a way that it feels extraordinarily cinematic.
An excellent album which could easily be a document, a tape music, you name it...
