Noumena - Regression Now for the Future

(Gameboy Records - gameboyrecords.com)
[Genres: noise, improv, experimental]

gb1.jpg (5549 bytes)This is a really good noise album by Noumena, the dual guitar improvisational duo of Aaron Hibbs and Mike Shiflet. Although both have had side-projects, their music together is also really good. There are only 2 songs on this cd, one is 30 minutes long, the other is 20. Despite the length, both of these songs remain interesting throughout their whole length. It also comes in a diy printed-on cardboard cd case and a butterfly sticker. What more could you want??  The first piece is notably more quiet and minimailistic than the second piece, this cd covers a very wide range of styles.  It is a good way to learn about the basic styles Noumena incorporate into their music.  In a way, this is similar to Caspar Brotzmann's instrumental work (for example, his "Mute Massaker" album).  So there you have it.  Two guitars, two minds, two pieces: complete and utter diy noise blisssssssssssssssssssssssss!  Go find it, it's for sale at gameboyrecords.com for a mere $6 bucks! What-a-deal!
