shock: ep3

A mere five months after the first lacquers were cut, the latest and presumably last in the Shock 12" EP series arrives. This particular episode features simultaneously the most mentally unbalanced and "commercial" (within certain parameters?) Shock music yet. "Cycle of Aberration" is just that, nine minutes of pulsing, crackling & clicking overlaid with a demented synth attack dissolving into clouds of distorted hiss. "Distinguished Invalids" is a massive pop tune created solely to appeal to "the kids" and "the dance floor" -- 14 minutes of pounding rhythm, heavenly voices, and massive, sub-bass organ blasts. Edition of 300.
