Title:
Serpent's Bite
Label:
HEAVY BLOSSOM
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
HB 022CD
"Zaïmph's first CD release on her own label Heavy Blossom. 'Serpent's Bite' is made up of 8 separate pieces of vapory splendor, pierced metallic sounds, flickering radiance, and exquisite anguish. Culled from the Zaimph archives and recorded between 2005 - 2006; two previously released CDR tracks, now re-edited, rest aside six unreleased tracks. Multiple amplifiers channel dense, 3-dimensional sound played live with no overdubs. This is organic darkness. Grave-vaults of guitar tunnel through distorted clouds of smoke rising from the watery abyss. Vocals of dissolving thoughts recite mysterious incantations. De-tuned piano recordings and infectious drum machine beats dissolve through phantom empires of multiple effects. 'Complete derangement of the senses.' The entirety was mastered by Christelle Gualdi at Loosduinseweg No. 9. Recorded primarily in England, with the exception of tracks 4 & 7, these recordings are as much of a reflecting back as a pulling towards -- Agrippa's Mirror to an unseen Universe. The fox hunted and revered wears a golden breast of jewels reciting from Wordsworth via de Quincey:
'Fabric it seem'd of diamond, and of gold, with alabaster domes, and silver spires....'
Settle into the tranquility of repose. Sound is fractured oscillations."

Title:
Sexual Infinity
Label:
HOSPITAL PRODUCTIONS
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
HOS 162CD
"Marcia Bassett of Double Leopards, Hototogisu, GHQ fame on her first proper solo full length has given us one of our favorites in the history of Hospital Productions.
Sexual Infinty
stands refreshingly organized into six escalating pieces of her signature guitar, voice, and electronic moodscapes entrancing the listener with sinister seduction. Comparisons to early '80s power electronics and industrial acts as Uncommunity, Mauthausen Orchestra and Ramleh reside in the underbelly of Zaïmph's ability to generate ominous, gritty and doom-laden atmosphere cloaked in a thick lush drone. What begins with raw, ethereal guitar shadows of longing delight closes with vital, gripping electronic tension."

Title:
La Nuit Electrique
Label:
UTECH RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$16.00
Catalog #:
UR 011CD
"Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards, Hototogisu) rears Zaimph's vile head once again on
La Nuit Electrique
. A raspy, delicate instrumental passage begins like a crippled music box. Elegant and soporose. Blackened guitar and amplification apprise the rest. Acrid feedback hangs in the air and vocal modulations clot inside dark rivers of current. The night electric."
