Stylianos Tziritas: A(r)mour 3" CD-r

Stylianos Tziritas: A(r)mour 3″ CD-r

Pretty exquisitely designed 3″. Almost all of the writing (liner notes, titles, etc.) are in Greek, so I can’t really tell what’s going on, but one of the few English phrases in the notes is “Cattle Mutilation”. First track is a 6 minute organ drone with is nearly silent for the first minute, and features some Greek spoken word in the middle. The second track is under 3 minutes and has a constant knocking beat which seems to restart every 10 seconds, along with humming, bursts of distortion, and more spoken word. Track 3 is more formless distorted rumbling and feedback, with a news broadcast-like spoken word overdub in the middle. 4 has layers of wavy, dark-moonlit-streets synth covered in grainy static, with a small PA-distorted voice calling from the corner. The last track begins with more straightforward, unaccompanied words spoken in Greek, then a galloping live drum beat comes in, along with spiky, industrialized guitar, playing a blues-derived rock rhythm and adding another layer of distorted guitar, coming close to a solo, but not quite doing that.
