I Keep My Stuff Inside.
3 tracks / 57+ min.
A re-release of 1996 recordings, plus a live track from 1998.
What a fucking eerie start! Very Dr Who And The Daleks. Distorted / robotic vocal. A strange and lovely swirl of sound. This isn't typical RR. A very dark ambient pace / tone on this first 25min track. I can't really make out what is being said, but I don't think it is "Will that be a medium or a large dipped cone?"
Track 2 continues this Satanic mood / pace. Are we...er...inside now? This might be my new best Halloween album for the kiddies. Even more dark ambience here, punctuated with shards of PE type explosions from time to time. Volume fluctuations add to the suspense. Slower than fog.
Shit gets real at 16min of the second 25min. An eruption of sound, but the mood is sustained. It soon dies back down. Our protagonist is talking again. But we still ain't at DQ.
There's a very wide variety of sounds / effects employed throughout all of this.
Other (minor) eruptions occur before track 2 ends. But the general pace remains glacial.
(I'm actually worried that the bonus live track will spoil this mood.)
This really is a side of RR that I was unaware of! I'm shocked by this. It's terrifying. It's brilliant.
And they DIDN'T fuck it up with track 3. It fits! It serves as a worthy appendix.
