Once again, hails to Jani from Uton for helping me find this. Most of that early Bridget Hayden solo stuff sounds much more abstract and noisy than her later dirgy beauty. On the first track among all the noises, Puccini's La Boheme can be heard, while the third track is violin improv like her good old Vibracathedral Orchestra days.

You know what the deal is like now with the blog. I moved out of the house two months ago so it's been pretty hectic with moving out/moving in/arranging things etc. But now I feel much better being on my own, with just my son, my job, my phd and my internal peace to tend to. So now I feel like getting this blog working on a more regular basis, but summer boredom/sleepiness is also a factor.
This is a cd I was very deeply after for lots of years after being extremely blown away by the Destroy All Tie Fighter track on the Your Own Shadow Blocks The Light comp tape on Hyster Tapes, which I had posted on the early phase of the blog and you can listen to here. Turns out the person behind Hyster Tapes and Grey Park was a member of Destroy All Tie Fighters, which now makes more sense about the awesomeness. So, thanks to Jani from Uton for helping me locate and finally acquire this cd.
So, with Skullpture we get awesome improv electroacoustic drone that is very immersive and I wouldn't find it very far away from what Aethenor would do years later, while Destroy All Tie Fighters does three otherwordly tracks of improv drone somewhere between The Dead C and Hawkwind. Great stuff, highly recommended.
2002 cdr on Musically Incorrect Records.
Was about to post their latest (Prism IV), and I realized I hadn't posted this one, so there. Not much to be said.
2021 cd on ECM.
I think that MB is getting increasingly hit or miss, but this is industrially on spot. Very lo-fi and enveloping guaranteed industrial noise ambient.
Originally posted the first version of this here, so what's new? The first track, "Farewell Dream Treatment (aka Our Dreams Is Over)" is the full original decrescendo album in one track, while the second track "Destructive Crust Treatment (aka To The End Of The World)" is one of Gero's most depressing and unrelenting noise/industrial tracks, certainly no humor here.
2022 2 X cd on Inundow.
New Swans album coming this year, so as always Gira recorded acoustic demo versions of the songs to be recorded. Some of them sound very sinister, others sound very close to leaving meaning. Personally, I hope this album will be heavier and more unholy than leaving meaning. Going to see them live this summer!!
2022 cd on Young God.
