Two song ep from a group that consists of Jonathan Canady (Deathpile, Dead World, Angel Of Decay), David Reed (Luasa Raelon, Envenomist), and Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy Of Habit, The Fortieth Day, Intrinsic Action). That lineup should look pretty promising to fans of dark, heavy electronics, and these guys deliver. The first track "Floating Above The Tracks" is an enormous swirling cloudbank of droning synthesizer, faint electronic rhythms and ghostly orchestral voicings billowing out over a vast lightless gulf. Pretty much exactly what you would want to hear from a band that call themselves Nightmares, this is a subterranean take on classic Teutonic "space music"; where the Germans evoked journeys into the furthest reaches of outer space, this plummets into the deepest abysses, a mass of funereal tones and tectonic reverberations, flourishes of psychedelic synth-noise that go screaming and streaking and sparking through the blackness.
That orchestral feeling carries over onto the b-side "We Were Melded Together", which starts off with an ominous droning dissonance that feels as if the group is about to erupt into a György Ligeti piece; this is stretched out over the duration of the track, gradually joined by abrasive electronic squeals and shrieks, fluttering bass tones and monstrous subterranean tremors. By the end of it, the sound is transformed into an ocean of pure dread, a perfect backdrop to endless night-terrors. Incredibly bleak and unsettling music. This record is OUT OF PRINT. The sleeve features Jonathan Canady's creepy artwork, and includes a vinyl sticker,
