Reformed Faction -
I Am the Source of Light, I Am Not a Mirror
Another one from my lastpost in the 'recent purchase/download' thread. Unfortunately this was a download and I don't have the awesome package pictured above. This is a 3-CD set of new and original material released earlier this year. Essentially ambient/music concrete/industrial but surprisingly active and very interesting. It's not drone, in other words. I'm just wrapping up disc 3 and I'm just really impressed with this. The band is essentially the reformation of
:zoviet*france: but without all members. I've been aware of both due to Mark Spybey's involvement, but had never listened to their stuff until now. Mark Spybey records solo as
Dead Voices On Air (I have a few of his albums) and contributed heavily to the first two
Download albums,
Furnace and
The Eyes of Stanley Pain (the accompanying EP
Sidewinder having provided my name and avatar), albums which I love very dearly. On these 3 discs, I definitely can hear some of the similar sounds that I love so much in the two
Download albums. I'm also reminded of some of
Psychic TV's work, such as that on the
Electric Newspaper series.
