More obscure weirdness from MS Blog, although this release is much more accessible than a lot of the other music on that blog. This guy records and releases his own music and this particular Cassette release kicks off in a psychedelic folksy way and could take a bow to Sid Barrett. The recordings are pretty lofi but he has a good voice, with some impressive vocal melodies on the first part of this album which sounds much like a Demo recording with the songs sounding quite impressive but much in need of a producer and a professional recording studio, plenty of unrealised potential. After the first 5 tracks proceed along in a similar style as described above, track 6 acts as a transition song, being a slow number but sounding very Gothic and leads us into the next part of this set where things get much more heavy with "God Of Violence" taking us in to a sort of Gothic industrial metal direction. Things sort of take a turn for the worst at this point, although again there is potential in these songs. After this 4 track interlude we are back to the folksy songs again which all sound vocally similar to the earlier ones and I really start to lose interest in this music. Essentially sounds like a demo recording, very lofi but full of potential if these songs were recorded professionally. Rating 2/5.
