Release Your Mind

Volume 2

Release

This cleverly-packaged three-disc set offers an interesting triptych of approaches to noise. No two tracks are alike, yet each disc offers a different character of seemingly-random sound. Once you realize that the construction of this “music” takes hours of diligent work to produce a single minute of sonic chaos, some things begin to click in place – no, this isn’t as easy as it seems. If you don’t know what kind of noise you prefer (repetitive or random? metallic or atonal? continuous or rhythmic?) this is your sampler platter. Relapse, P.O.
