Mystery Hearsay in Vital Weekly

Bred from runoff and debris from the great Mississippi River, Mystery Hearsay's audio wasteland has a common theme of unbridled creativity and strangulated frequency fetish. 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.

MYSTERY HEARSAY - FLESH TOMB (CD by Monochrome Vision)

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. Long forgotten, 

but thankfully resurrected.

Cultivation Series Vol. 1 Now Available for shipping

Waiting World Records is proud to announce Cultivation Series Volume 1 from the post-industrial/dark ambient outfit Kuwahara (Mike Honeycutt and M. Peck) is now available.
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 HoneyCult.
Cultivation Series Volume 1 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.
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.
