The Arizonian continues to find buried treasures in the form of bumpy dark-beat morsels, agitating and stirring them to create surreal and dystopian landscapes.
Even deeper low-end rumbling
Aelk Minsur has mined strange sounds for several years; his ability to deconstruct electronics is baffling, and with Ground Redux, he ups the ante with even deeper low-end rumbling, post-industrial, and technoid clusters. An album that treads on some of the darkest, illbient-infested, and pulsing tones’n drones from subterranean trenches that fans of Scorn, Techno Animal, Einóma, and Jk Flesh will certainly enjoy. The Arizonian continues to find buried treasures in the form of bumpy dark-beat morsels, agitating and stirring them to create surreal and dystopian landscapes. Co-conspirators Eomac, Stanislav Tolkachev, and Kare Tolt provide densely layered and texturally contrasting versions of already powerful tracks “Test Well,” “Zero Sequence,” and “Fault”—its original doesn’t appear here—respectively. Ultimately, Ground Redux features the most original (and cataclysmic) tracks we’ve heard from the multi-talented sound sculptor.
All tracks produced, mixed and mastered by Aelk Minsur except:
Track 06 – Produced by Karr Tolt & Aelk Minsur
Track 08 – Produced by Eomac & Aelk Minsur
Track 10 – Produced by Stanislav Tolkachev & Aelk Minsur
Ground Redux is available on Bandcamp.
