“The album is an intricate powerhouse of vision, both musical and psychological. Some would describe it as a process to a natural dance provoking high, Some just sit and listen.
Its a progressive blend of melodic composition, unbelievable sound design, and an IDM style rhythm that cannot be described in any real detail, other than to say, it’s designed to take you places.
It’s an epic experience, with a sense of purpose in each deliberate movement.”

wh161 Cult of the Hidden Nerve – Music for the Macrocosm

C.P. McDill — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 22:32:20 +0000

COTHN’s stylistically diverse music communicates dark, futuristic visions.

“Cult Of The Hidden Nerve, known for their music driven, electronic revelations, have delivered something different to their previous albums. Up until now, the music has been experimental and synthetic adventuring into the mind where music and psychology meet. This album, Part electonic ambience, part studio recorded band, has brought about a huge revelation in what music can be for Cult Of The Hidden Nerve, and something utterly different to the user.

“I have not been experimenting so much on this album, so much as composing with what I have already learnt about the relationship between the mind and music. Im trying to go beyond happy major chords and dark minor chords, and really grab hold of the psychological prowess music has, particularly compared to other arts…”

Whether or not you are touched by this ultra personal attempt of communication, the experience of listening to this music is undeniable. Hairs on the back of ones neck rise and fall with the ebb and flow of the melodies, trance like sensations are provoked as the rythms fall about almost effortlessly. While there is no specific feeling, the sheer affect of this music is epic, and after an intense listening, one could be forgiven for feeling a little exhausted.”

This album is a joint release with a professionally pressed physical CD of the album being available for sale direct from Cult of the Hidden Nerve (secure purchase via Paypal).

wh151 mayfairgrin – This Delicate Confusion

C.P. McDill — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 03:22:58 +0000

mayfairgrin’s “This Delicate Confusion” is a well-crafted collection of dark, rhythmic electronica.

Download the whole album as a zip file or click here for more downloading and streaming options.

“Originally ‘This Delicate Confusion’ was scheduled to be released on CD in late ’06, but -unfortunately- was overshadowed by the completion and release of ‘Memoirs From The Deep End’ (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/mayfairgrin1). TDC represents a stylistic metamorphasis from the industrial-inspired electronica compositions found on ‘Excursions On A Hovercraft’ to the darker, more refined, and synth-driven ambient IDM as heard on ‘Memoirs’. Tracks like “delicate” and “kirlian sunshine” highlight some deeper and more complex compositions on the record showcasing a more progressive direction. The record as a whole is a cross-section of mayfairgrin’s interpretations of various music genres… obscure or otherwise.” — A. Latham

Track List:
01 litany [03:33]
02 sleep for now [07:21]
03 delicate [08:20]
04 delicate refrain [03:12]
05 the black mountain (feat jules from pinklogik) [08:00]
06 sagrada [07:45]
07 llona moriana [08:08]
08 asterix rmx (with pinklogik) [06:50]
09 kirlian sunshine (part one) [07:37]
10 kirlian sunshine (part two) [05:28]
11 kirlian sunshine (part three) [07:45]
