Mondo Bungle

Trouble Salad - Space Mall EP

Overview: I was still messing around with the spaznoise style and through more experiments and effects, it managed to come out sounding more industrial and eclectic. I'm sure you're wondering about the cover, well it's a picture of the sky.

1. Stellar Waltz
Sound and Style: quiet and distant ambient
Trivia, Influences, and Origins: the album had a loose space theme

2. Engine Drone
Sound and Style: quiet, lower register ambient, pulsating drone
Trivia, Influences, and Origins: simulating the engine of some weird spacecraft

3. Space Mall
Sound and Style: now it gets exciting with this rigamarole of mechanical robot chatter, very varied in it's sonic presence.
Trivia, Influences, and Origins: named it this as it made me think about how. Crowded mall in space would sound

4. Industrial Salad/The Terror of Knowledge
Sound and Style: the industrial sound reaches it's zenith here. Constant cluttered sounds reminiscent of a busy factory, with a lot of machine clanks and steam bursts. Soon it gets more weird and noisy down on the factory floor, then there's a surreal break in production while Martians take over.
Trivia, Influences, and Origins: done in the same session as thetitle track, and I intended it to be included as a three part track, but in trying to fix the super muffled quality of these tracks, I ruined the consistency and split part off.

Artist's Verdict: it is quite muffled which hinders it a bit, and might be a little bit inconsistent with the contrast of the first two tracks and the next two, but I thought it sounded really cool and reminded me if Nurse With Wound and stuff.
