As
soon as you hear this album's opener, a feedback-drenched cover of Pink
Floyd's "One Of These Days," you know you're in for
something different. "Experiments In Feedback" finds Porn
experimenting with a number of guitar effects. This is especially
apparent in the three "Feedback" songs, which are cosmic,
moody pieces of spacey guitar. Two of the three actually consist of
"conversations" between the guitars, partly as a result of
Tim Moss's throat surgery, which deemed him unable to talk for most of
the duration of the album's production.
Also interesting are the band's three versions of Motorhead's
"I'll Be Your Sister." Apparently, the band recorded three
different takes on the track, and, upon being unable to pick just one,
decided to put 'em all on the final cut. Suffice to say, the band's
ears for experimentalism are by no way tamed for the tracks - they are
as avant garde as all heck. In fact, even the band's take on a
"two minute pop song" is far from ordinary. Although the
riffs and the melody are there, don't expect anything too accessible,
'cause that's not what these fellows are about.
If you enjoy guitar music of the avant garde persuasion, you're
sure to enjoy this - I sure did.
