Good morning...

Two from Amon Tobin.

The first one is a personal favorite of mine, "El-Wraith" off Out From Out Where. A lone Spanish guitar emerges out of a science fiction soundtrack and segues into a creepy bass crawl that always reminds me of robot monsters crawling out of the sand. I tend to think of this track as the shadow of Delerium's classic Silence... if songs could cast shadows I guess. The video itself is an amazing piece of stop motion animation depicting visions from a mysterious Chronopolis ruled by what looks like golem pharaohs of some kind.

Next up is "Keep Your Distance" from his latest album Foley Room. A delightfully sinister track made all the better by some clever video editing from the opening of the proto-rivethead cult classic Hardware. A movie that profoundly influenced my sense of aesthetics for over a decade (when I began working for my friend at his fetish club over at 688 I always had this movie in the back of my head). To this day I still wish I had the whole cowboy duster/gas mask get up so I could dress like an apocalyptic gunslinger or a member of Fields of the Nephilim.

But I digress. On with the video...

Disintegration Angels - 6 -"Till you come"

continued from chapter 5:"The speaker was an angel"

Trish knows that the greatest lie ever told was that the world was anything but wonderful. That it was faith alone that haunted this universe. There were no monsters under the bed and there were no angels looking over our shoulders. Nothing new was under the sun. After all magick was a dead myth, God was nothing but the math of chance and the rest was best left as guess. After all seeing is believing... even if there's nothing left to see here.
