Blind Umizato - As The Evening Descends; Two Rivers
You can find a lot of experimental electronic music on many net labels, but few of them have kept my interest as well as this online album by Blind Umizato of Montgomery, Alabama. The four long tracks on As The Evening Descends; Two Rivers are marvels of industrial sound and field recordings that seem to be mainly machine based. While much of this type of composition appears chaotic, these tracks have a distinct feel of structure which may not be immediately apparent on the first listen. The title track has an industrial sound but it is quite pleasing and certainly ambient. “GTR1″ has an aura of wind and mystery. “Follow The One Armed Pendulum” is back to machine sounds . It sounds a bit mischievous to me. Finally “New Noise Massacre” is the longest track at 27 minutes and, despite the title, is somewhat rhapsodic. Those into experiment music and ambient will enjoy this album.
The album is available from the Test Tube netlabel in 192kbps MP3.
