Sleepless in Atlanta

PROEM - Socially Inept Sampler 12" NEW VINYL MERCK
5 tracks lifted off the cd of the same name, plus a new remix by Esem, showcasing proem’s smoother side, emphasising melodics and precision beats over his previous trademark scorched-earth tones and crunching stabs. “Socially Inept” has been described by Proem himself as “sweeter than a triple chocolate peanut butter mousse”, loosely translated as a drifting, crunchy and evocative display of electronic construction at its tightest. Much like Arovane’s work for the Din label or Sense, the emphasis here is on layers of melody that aim straight at the most nostalgic carriages of the memory – childlike in their simplicity despite the intricate crunch of the surrounding beats. As such its an emotional listen and one that sits perfectly within the Merck catalogue. As usual, limited to 1000 copies...

I again had trouble sleeping last night, so I tuned into the overnight show at WREK (Georgia Tech). I'm really getting into this "noise" genre. One "song" I heard sounded like about 100 people using metal whisks inside empty 55-gal. oil drums. This stuff is like an enema for your musical sensibilities; it cleans out your head. Below is a highlight:

Song:
This is the Body I once Occupied

Artist:
Richard Ramirez & Skin Crime

Album:
Pleasure, Commerce & Disease

ABRASIVELY CAUSTIC HARSH ELECTRONICS. A thick & raw wall of unpleasant feelings for your final dead days. Skin Crime is associated with the highly influential Self Abuse Records.

I'm beginning to enjoy my amnesia.
