THIRDORGAN – ‘SPACE CADILLAC’

Thirdorgan’s ‘Space Cadilac’, released on Akihiro-san’s own Alienation digital label. Science Fiction radiowave signal hi-jack and abuse, experimental prototypical technology, surging modulated waves of sound slapped silly, punched and probed wickedly. Wiggling waving sample exploration mangling and fomentation of frothing digi sound process creates waves of electronics seasickness, swollen volume pitch spikes, building migraine sweats and ominous salivary response – I’m going to fucking hurl! Howling blown out alarms crest and eat their tails, panning left and right to bewilder and irritate the objective mind.  An interesting detour from purely Harsh sound from Thirdorgan into something more akin to soundscape work or Musique Concrete, albeit shot through a malign, bruised, psychedelic slow rolling cut up lens, cockeyed and bizarre, broiling harsh digital tones rising from the sampling like the surges of eye peeling nausea and vertiginous terror. Excellently difficult.

THIRDORGAN – ‘SATANICO PANDEMONIUM’

Thirdorgan from Japan. Originally released on CDr by UK label Dead Sea Liner in 2006. Opening with a loop from Dawn of the Dead, ‘Satanico Pandemonium’ then blows the gates wide open to a dimension of the psychic dead walking the earth amidst collapsing, hallucinatory psychedelic scrap Harsh Noise audial event deluge, psychotropics summoned, controlled flooding Noise dam destruction, samples inhumed and corroded slowly in effects chain, a languorous but methodical pace of piercing experimentation – Harsh Noise pandemonium and cudgel psychedelia – swirling visual vapor trails achieved via concussion and painkillers. I’m less familiar with Thirdorgan’s output than I should be, barring some of their most well known and loved early cassette releases like Heavy Metal Battle Fighter, Mirrorman, Pessimistic Cyborg, and The Pornography of Despair, (recently reissued by the excellent Hospital Productions) – in remedy to this alarming oversight I’ll be diving into their well curated Bandcamp page right here. ‘Satanico Pandemonium’ is a total fuckin’ mindpeel!
