Just click on "T" and it'll be the first one.

 

I guess maybe they're more drone-y than your stuff, and possibly more "organic." I still think it's appropriate to say that your stuff is similar because I enjoy it as much as TQTR's stuff.

I gave untitled a listen yesterday and really enjoyed it. It's what I imagine Zoviet France would have sounded like if they played around with machines instead of ethnic instruments. They use delay and loops to similar effect, and I wouldn't be surprised if they used a lot of the same equipment. Anyway, very cool stuff, definitely something I'll be going back to in the future. Thanks for the recommendation!

Cheers!

Wow, this is awesome man! Keep it up!

Thanks a lot man! The album just got its first review, and I couldn't ask for a nicer one: http://noisemuzakrev...blogspot.co.uk/

The guy who writes these reviews also runs a noise label, Red Venice Records Http://redvenicerecords.bandcamp.com --it's mostly harsher noise stuff, but a lot of good stuff. Schallruch's Wakegaze album is particularly strong. He/she/they makes noise you can go swimming in.

Great news! I hope the positive feedback means that we'll hear more from Cthulhu Detonator in the future!

It does. I've done 3 new tracks this week and have ideas for more. The one I just finished is entitled I Must Politely Decline Your Wedding Invitation, and is probably the harshest track I've done to date.

LOL, some of that artwork and album names are rough!

Will give them a try though ;)

"From beneath the wreckage of a thousand forgotten aeons, Cthulhu Detonator explodes forth into your ears with a deafening sound both monstrous and sublime. More savage than two gods fucking, more foul than the rot of a dying metropolis, at least as devastating as two galaxies colliding, Cthulhu Detonator will seep into your pores and devour your heart with agonizing fervor."

^ Zephyr's personal writeup for this project from a few months back.

I just put this up on Discogs. Add it to your collections! http://www.discogs.c...release/4026294

Anyone here speak Italian? Looks like it got another really positive review: http://dundundudu.bl...l-machines.html

Here's the amusing freetranslation.com version:

" There is not more nothing of uncertain, uncertain, shaky."

Brilliant review!

"good grenade"

That's a sticker-worthy review snippit!

Google Translate was better:

Ok, apart from cthulhu, this album is a grenade beautiful and good.

The basic style is one of those boxes harsh / wall that depopulated on Bandcamp for a couple of years now and they are formed, usually, two side, both of which revolve around the dozen or so minutes that make up a single long suite noise.

The difference between the above album (which is very pleasing to me) and Infernal Machines, is not only the attitude slightly more catchy that surrounds each track (for charity, it's not that I'm suggesting the rolling stones, is that you simply quest ' album is not as aggressive as some suites wall tend to be), I said, slightly more catchy than the attitude, in the very structure of the album, there is something strange.

As I said before, usually Albums ambient / noise etc., Go on to two tracks at a time.

The structure of this album is an album, "pop", even if the songs are quite distant from the shared conception of pop music. Ten songs, with an average fall of about 5 minutes.

It is much easier to listen Infernal machines that any other experimental noise album. In some ways, it is even more beautiful.

There is more differentiation, each piece has its own identity violent, there is nothing ethereal, and I find that this failure is a credit to noise music. There is nothing uncertain, random, lame. This hour of experimental music is very strong.

QVESTO ALBVM IS THE ALBVM GIOVENTV 'ITALIAN

No joke.

If the experiments and harsh noise wall is somehow a kind of experimentalism extreme end only to himself, this Infernal machines can be seen as a first draft of LP "listenable" derived from a tradition of listening iperspecialistica and semi-impossible.

What I have been waiting for, in fact. What I was expecting for some time.

Maybe going to start a revolution noise, and the work of Cthulhu detonator it is a tiny messenger, the edge flickering ink stain.

Maybe within a year or so someone will come along that will sweep away all the music queer, for the honor and the ardor of Björkö god.

But maybe not. But let's hope so.

Good thing a man can dream. (Have you seen the episode of futurama with long tool? Here.)

In the meantime, enjoy this little masterpiece, herald of the noise, which I have not had time to describe decently in the rush to announce the Revolution.

Thank you.

Cool, thanks for the slightly more coherent interpretation! I can't decide whether I prefer "the edge flickering ink stain" or "the edge quivering some inkblot", but both are poetic in a way I'd never considered before.

Well, I never thought I'd see the day that I'd get my own subforum somewhere, but that day has arrived: http://britishnoisearcadia.freeforums.org/index.php (my forum's lurking near the bottom)

There's also a forum for spamming your own noise tracks if you have them.

Just recieved another review:

http://stenchofishtar.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/cthulhu-detonator-infernal-machines/

I definitely appreciate the Autechre comparison, and am surprised a reviewer made that connection.

A fusion of Autechre, Robert Fripp and Tim Hecker... Not bad!

Weirdly enough I got the Robert Fripp comparison about my guitar playing years ago too, although I only became familiar with some of his work with King Crimson in the last couple years. I should probably check out more of his stuff. The other comparisons I'm not really familiar with, with the exception of BOC (though I'm not a fan).

You should definitely check out more of his stuff! Pretty much everything he's ever done is amazing.

I still haven't listened to this, argh! Tonight, I promise!

Haha, you sound like me. I've downloaded so much stuff intending to listen to it only to get around to doing so like half a year after the fact. I appreciate the intent! I hope the end experience doesn't disappoint.

There's plenty of Fripp on those Eno albums you got off me.

...I don't think I've actually listened to any of them yet. Mayhaps this week!

Just listened on my walk home from work. Perfect weather for itwarm, humid and the slight threat of a storm breaking out.

It's amazing! Good to hear some interesting, rhythmic, melodic noise. My favourite track is probably Blinding White Light. Very shoegazey!

Thanks! It's definitely ideal storm threat music. My favorite setting for listening to this sort of stuff is right next to the ocean during a super windy day.

Fun fact about Blinding White Light: I borrowed Goiter Sanchez's theremin for that track, which ended up spawning this entire project.

I forgot about that little detail!
