First time I had the time to check this out, sounds highly promising!

I will check this out a couple of more times, and I might even buy one of them... sounds very crisp and clear, very nice!

Keep up the good job!

sounds really good! Since my older brother listens almost only to Cold Meat Industry bands I've learned to appreciate this kind of atmospheres through the years...

still he thinks his life is complete, and that's the main thing. Ignorance is such a blissful place.

Got it today!

a bloody interesting cd it is too!

As James often says about our cd: this is music you can't dance to.

This is more






Some heavy dark droning music (and just let's call it 'drone' as well), with some very unusual sounds hopping about.

The songs are quite long and at first nothing seems to happen, but then you hear a slight shift in frequencies, some added samples, and it moves on and on, like a living, breathing, noxious gas cloud over the world.

Reminds me of bands like Sleep Research Facility, and that's where the little minor point lies. Just like SRF, Generic tends to flirt with the sheer monotonous. As a lover of Dark Ambient myself, I can cope with this, but just. Two more songs and I'd have given up, maybe.

I listen to the techniques used and the samples (that stonegrinding sample on track two is marvellous! ) but at track 4 ear fatigue is setting in.

And that is minor problem two. Dark drones and subsonic assaults all look very cool on paper, but they tend to become physically taxing after a while.

I would do some low cutting on some tracks, and maybe that will take away some of the power but it will make it easier on the ears.

Also, sometimes I guess an even more thorough mastering would take care of some lows in the volume balance (the cd starts off very quiet, for example. A bit too quiet in my opinion).

I will certainly give this more listens on other equipment (the Big Machine, for one! ) because this kind of music you have to listen to quite a few times to hear all the subtle nuances and shifts.

All in all, one hears that Adam controls and knows how to manipulate these samples and music, this is not 'just another downsampled and over-reverbed' release.

This is intelligently made 'music' and will surprise you more than once. When you get used to the subsonic levels of course

Nice job man!

Cheers Iz, that stonegrinding sample is actually someone scraping bone.

Thanks for the feedback, glad it almost hurts to listen to it!!
