it's time for the creatures of the meshmass archive to slither out from their holes and publish the junemass compilation - 66 and a half minutes of crunchy goodness from this month - which includes at the edge of the world - a desolate cry involving the sounding stones of pinuccio sciola, some car-horns and a little bit of soprano saxophone. ossuary - rather a delicate piece with alto saxophone. it starts with a sort of rippling and looped saxophone. the end is quite calm, by which time the sax is a soprano. relinquish - a lush duet with alto sax and fretless guitar. mentholated corpse - the cool alternative. more sounding stones and some strange twanging noises accompany richard's fretless. misreading rune 2 - a fairly driving piece utilising samples drawn from the work of rune martinsen a composer of drones and atmospheric pieces to be found on soundcloud. it starts with some zithery sort of sounds from richard's collection and even includes some actual singing. felafel proof - soprano sax and fretless guitar support themselves on a bed of snarls. it ends with surprising delicacy. swim - a fairly long duet with quite unexpected twists in its development. there's a lot of richard's extraordinary 11-string fretless guitar-thing on these recordings which cover a broad range of mesmass' field of expression.... we commend this package to the house.
