I’m going to admit, this is probably record I am most ashamed of ever releasing. I’ve been sitting here for a month, trying to think of something positive to say.
I just can’t. Everyone has a stinker.
Unless you’re one of those folks that simply can’t stand noise and thinks these are all stinkers, I think we can all agree.
I broke my rule of “no words.” It was supposed to be “Say No More Tongues.” This implied that I wouldn’t talk or fake sing like I did on R3vO. I did it anyways. It turned out weird, and I feel like I’m better for it.
I still used the same instrument set from “Ma Maladie” and “Salvation.”
This is so bad, I even have a song where I talk over it in Japanese. Try not to ever listen to Marriage of Despair if you can help it.
So, why is it so bad?
At the time, I was close to graduating high school. My senior year was fairly chaotic, and it shows in this record. Maybe I had stopped caring. Maybe I was out of ideas. This sounds a lot more depressing than year actually was, honestly.
I actually really enjoy the music on this one. I wish I hadn’t ruined it with words.
It’s strange that I started getting away from that fake dance music I tried to make in the first two albums. This would be the last album that even used the same instrument set. After this, I only made two songs using the same loops and settings. Then my computer crashed, and I lost everything on my Windows partition.
This was also the last album before I found what dada, noise, and avant-garde music was. As noisy and weird as some of the previous stuff was, I still find it interesting that I was making ‘noise’ music before I even knew what it was.
As much as I’m ashamed of this recording, it’s important to take note of the differences between it and all the other ones. Not until “Endless” did I dare speak again, unless you count the recently unreleased Christmas album.
I realize I’ve typed a lot but said so little about a brief four track record. There’s not much to say. It’s a turning point. It’s the end of an era. It’s a confusing conclusion.
