New Haare "Nucleus" LP arrived. Artists is good example how some indeed get better by time. Haare was already great 20 years ago, but, it is even better these days. It is not development we can say of everybody who has been churning out stuff c. 25 years. Especially I dare to say that about older generation... This album is pretty varied. Drone - perhaps, but it is also more than that. Kind of like "Brain" CD was. You can file it under drone due certain atmosphere, but on A-side it gets almost into ritual music territory. Almost as if Haare would have been listening recent Metgumbnerbone reissues thinking "well.. I can do better..", haha... some sort of whistles/pipes, air instruments, odd lo-fi percussions, surprisingly industrial-esqued soundloops. But also, some airy minimalist drones, gong, etc to be found too. Sound is charmingly lo-fi, but also LP is certainly not free of surface noise. You got snap crackle & pop constantly, especially at b-side. Not ideal, but considering the dusty and rusty sound of "noise" itself, the vinyl artifacts are not beyond tolerable.
