90年代ノイズの超傑作が遂にCD化！！オリジナルはMacronymphaが主宰するMother Savageより1996年にカセットリリース。当店ではリイシューカセット版を何度も紹介し続けた、2008年に他界したテキサスノイズの伝説的人物にしてRichard Ramirezの盟友David Gildenの最高傑作[Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend]。厳つい高速カットアップやサイケデリックな電子音放射を並べた激シブな構造、そして粘着度の強い濃密テクスチャー、当時の技術からプリミティブな部分だけを抽出した様な独創的スタイルが滅茶苦茶カッコイイ長編雑音。未体験の方は是非。



Originally released on cassette in 1996, TCD is, at it's core, a Mother Savage 'mega-mix' composition of Gilden's work as engineered by Joseph Roemer and Rodger Stella -- encompassing his projects Sawgasm, Crackhouse, Depress/Regress, and work under his own name as the source material for a manic amphetamine-fueled journey through the highs and lows of various chemical states; encompassing unhinged harsh sessions that build to abrupt jump cuts and inspired use of the stereo field, primitive caveman percussion, psychedelic tape collage with short samples of Big Black and The Decline of Western Civilization along the way, all layered and edited with surgical precision -- a true masterwork of advanced and inventive tape composition using the primitive instruments of 1990's recording technology well beyond their capabilities.

The 90's brought many instant classics to the noise genre, but TCD stands above them all as perfection, and should be viewed as a benchmark going forward. This transfer of the original master tape, done by William Hutson (Rale, clipping.), has been carefully engineered to preserve and enhance the quality of the original without compromising it's integrity.
