Government Alpha/PBK - "Auditory Hallucination Of Drowsy Afternoon" CD 2007 (Xerxes)

"Govt. Alpha and PBK utilise every weapon available in their respective considerable arsenals, distorting, twisting, abusing, transmuting, fragmenting, rending, torturing, compressing, flaying, and finally leaving the ragged remains for dead, lying in a pool of blood, piss and excrement; pulling out the sound of those squealing, screeching microseconds before impact and stretching it past anything it was ever meant to endure. This is a battery of intense magnitude and constancy, never letting up, never allowing for however brief a time any form of respite or relief, it just keeps coming on relentlessly and determinedly. Finally we have the closing track, ‘Fuscous Sun’, almost a mirror image of the opener, time and the temporal membranes de-shattering to mend themselves and restore the rule of reality, albeit a fractured one, full of hurt, pain and devastation, a reality unlooked-for. As I have often said, the best music, of whatever colour, has the capacity to inspire, to conjure images and to spark off mental chain-reactions. As fanciful (or as some would say irrelevant) as the foregoing might appear, nevertheless this is what ripped through my mind as I was listening to it. Whatever the original intentions of the creators may have been, I can unequivocally attest to the power and might of this fine collaborative effort, bringing with it the hope that these two might venture to grace us with more of their nuclear vision sometime in the future."
