Anal Aura Gram” is a vinyl version of the long deleted CDR that came in limited quantities with the 2003 album “Aural Anagram”. Andrew offers a sort of audio high-colonic by flushing unwanted polyps with his unpredictable attacks and decays.
He has developed a compositional technique that makes individual sonic shifts as compelling as the music itself. The tones arise from submarine-crushing depths into the tails of comets, except when they are suddenly transported into the gut of a mountain. Or into the strangely populated belly of a whale. Harmonicas within crystals within faerie fyre?
Inside every out-worldly dream-drone is a debris field of small, lovingly constructed noise stabs which strike like matches or coil like cobras. Fizzling, sighing, groaning under-carriage sounds ping and rattle in and out like the quiet clamour of an old house, next to an old church, built on an ancient Indian burial brothel. It is like listening to a hologram of a black hole devouring radio signals. Finally, time to get Anal! Ltd x 300 copies on 180 gram blue vinyl and packaged in a custom made book bound sleeve. Also features a bonus 7" of remixes by Steven Severin (Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Glove).
