Reviews

While O'Rourke presented an LP very much in a
Nurse With Wound style, Cyclobe have obliterated most traces of
Stapleton and Potter's raw material and instead produced a freak out of
frayed electronics that sounds much closer to the work of their former
colleagues in Coil. Although their "Part One" begins with sparse drones
and eerie ambience, the stereo field soon becomes a battleground on
which sharp bursts from analog synths whirr back and forth. Passages of
extreme noise are balanced by menacing quiet sections such as the last
several minutes of "Part One." Some of the sounds appearing early on
are so jagged and startling that these calmer sections produce the same
effect as the scenes in horror films in which an intruder is waiting
quietly behind a corner. It is no coincidence that Cyclobe's Stephen
Thrower was an integral member of Coil during the time they produced
music for Hellraiser (referred to in some places as "too scary to be
used in the film"). This album is interesting for the insight it may
provide into the working methods of Thrower and Ossian Brown as
Cyclobe. By not directly referencing the source material they may give
us clues as to how they construct their own music. Perhaps they always
tend towards manipulating source material beyond recognition. The
creaking ratchet sound that seems to be the project's signature motif
is audible here, as are the flute and saxophone played by Xhol.
However, they are merely hinted at underneath dense layers of sonic
debris, and are only heard briefly. Cyclobe have treated the source
material as a starting point for producing a compelling new work that
pays tribute to Nurse With Wound as much as it cements their reputation
as being superb producers in their own right, regardless of their Coil
associations. - Jim Siegel
