Bonethrone is the fourth installment from Tennessee's experimental dark - ambient ambassadors KUWAHARA. Shifting focus towards conception vs. cataclysm they tread new ground on performance and profound accessibility, rather than evoking a space of darkness; now darkness shapes the space of this post industrial and bleak at best landscapes of mechanical and molten tectonic textures that permeate each track; one unfolding into the other, clawing their way out of an abysmal plane of introspective solitude.

<div style="color: red;">
Kuwahara - "Kandyheart Afghan"</div>
<div style="color: red;">
[Waiting World Records]</div>
<br />
Kuwahara present us with some noise/death industrial in a similar vein
to Stratvm Terror, Megaptera, etc. The songs employ deep, hellish drones
to provide the foundation for layers of noisey textures. Most of the
songs are droning and plod along slowly, though beats present themselves
occasionally. There are some cool tracks like "Order of Primitives",
"Feeding Tube", and "Scum Class" that have a good, industrial-tinged,
rotten sewage feel to them akin to Stratvm Terror. These pieces are
dirty and atmospheric, certainly residing amongst the darkest catacombs
of the ambient genre, without being overly abrasive. Despite the usual
ultra repetitive nature of some death industrial, most these tracks move
and shift quite a bit during their duration; there are many different
sounds introduced and they don't feel repetitive or overly long. The
production here is about as good as you can expect from a style that
relies heavily on drones and noise, although the track volume seems to
fluctuate from track to track. The only thing I really don't like about
this album is that a number of songs contain seemingly random noises
which seem out of place and/or annoying to the ear. On "B-33920" and
"Meat Bubble" the drumbeats sound totally out of left field and don't
fit with the atmosphere generated by the rest of the album. Although
"Meat Bubble" sounds kind of like old demo VAC or some other rough,
experimental trippy industrial of that time. If you like "heavy" ambient
and stuff from Slaughter Productions and so forth, give this one a try.<br />

<br />
Kandyheart Afghan, the third release from Kuwahara, reveals the duo's fondness for bleak atmospheres and tortured electronics. Kuwahara continues head-first into the abyss with no signs of turning back. Purposely avoiding the white walls of sound from early pioneers of noise and dark ambient that influenced them, they instead focus on texture and melancholic passages to move their audience with a wretched grace rather than brute force. Make no mistake; this album is a pummeling slab of tectonic movements and soundscapes, much like their previous installments. This however, dwells in a realm of nightmare and abandoned hope.<br />

Those familiar with the early underground cassette trade have known this for years, those that are new to the name are in for a treat, because this is just Phase 1 of what's to come.<br />

</div><div style="font: 13px Arial; margin: 0px;">Whereas Factor X was even bootlegged in recent years - always a mark of long lasting quality - Mystery Hearsay wasn't. No lesser quality however from this hometaper - as the lingo of the day was - also known as Mike Honeycutt. He went on to produce other things later on, such as Mystery X, Mystery Iguana, but Mystery Hearsay seemed to have gathered dust. This CD, in fact a re-issue of a tape release called 'Flesh Tomb' plus bonus material from a net release from 2007 (which is which is not clear from the cover). Without wanting to say much about the quality of the music, the quality of the recording is of an entirely nature than the Factor X one, i.e. something that seems at least more professional. One of those typical mid-80s things was the arrival of what was called 'ambient industrial': music that was too loud to fully downright ambient, but also not loud enough to be classified as industrial. Hence ambient industrial and that's exactly the field of Mystery Hearsay's music. Lots of guitar/synth manipulations, along with percussive, metallic sounds and tons of sound effects to manipulate them. Like with a lot of these 80s things its not the composition that counts but the mood created, so it sometimes gets off the rails and takes a bit too much time to be fully interesting. But this is another great reminder of the young FdW at home listening to tapes, and one who fully forgot that Mystery Hearsay was actually a great band.

Peck) is now available.<br />
Unlike many sophomore releases, this 45 minute slab of gnarled soundscapes and shimmering audio poetics are remixes of the tracks featured on the groups highly acclaimed debut <i>HoneyCult</i>.<br />
<i>Cultivation Series Volume 1</i> features remixes from some of today's most notable sound artists and standouts in their genres with offerings from WILT, Steve Brand, Mannequin Hollowcaust, Andrew Lagowski and two previously unreleased tracks from Kuwahara. Make no mistake, these are not just rehashed renditions of the original tracks and come off as something entirely new to the listener. Each artist left their own mark on the tracks leaving the release as a whole, a very fluid and coherent offering, albeit jaundiced and decrepit, this album reeks of brilliance in a most progressive manner.<br />
This release comes packaged with full color artwork and full color CDr housed in a ultra clear poly bag. Please send $10 (includes S/H to mpeckmusic (@) gmail dot com to order yours today.<br />

If you've never heard bees swarming, you may not relate well to this sonic assault... with headphones on, you'll believe you've been caught on the inside of the hive, & that you'll never be able to get back to "normal" (whatever that is, heh! heh!). This is synth-driven, and it's one of the most excellent excursions I've been on lately - while there are a few invasive moments, this is unusually harmonic and totally perceptive of what will drive you up the proverbial wall, but let you down gently enough to escape without commitment to the "D" ward. There wasn't a lot of information available on the web, though you can find the tracklist here... Mike is joined by M. Peck, and they've created a wealth of sonic adventures that any active listener will find irresistible... some of this stuff takes you right out to the very EDGE of the universe, and doesn't necessarily bring you back (or at least not in one piece). One of the most intriguing compositions was "Whose Children Are We?", with blunt-trauma sonic hammers ready to blow you ALL THE WAY AWAY... the other piece I just loved (my favorite track, without doubt) was the swirling opener, "A Basket For Elliot"... just beautiful! I'm impressed, and you will be, too... I give this aural adventure a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.98."<br />

"The sound-world of Kuwahara, a duo consisting of M.Peck and Mike Honeycutt, is one of grainy kaleidoscopic twilight murk shot through with fractured transmissions from some alien transmitter device. Dull bathyscaphic pulses shudder across arcing, shimmering feedback that subsides into eerie field recordings from some location that may or may not exist. Kuwahara have soundtracked the fall down the rabbit-hole, and it is terrifying." <br />
