black boned angel - heavens blaze forth the death of princes
http://www.sendspace.com/file/k2evp8
"This was a limited-edition tour only CD-R made for BBA's European tour and Instal festival appearence during 2005. Comes in the usual Battlecruiser style handmade packaging. One monolithic track coming to an hour in length! The beginning sounds like a riff from Sleep's Jerusalem slowed to a snail's pace and stretched into infinity. 15 minutes in comes those textbook BBA storm detonations that make the whole thing heavy as fuck to the point of speaker damage. Incredible!"

the tunnel singer - water birth
http://www.sendspace.com/file/3caknc
"You say you admire the simple beauty of the female voice wordlessly singing? You say you're tired of crazy beats and wacky special effects processing? Well then, The Tunnel Singer has something just for you. Water Birth delivers lyric-free, a cappella songs whose amazing resonations naturally occur due to their recording environment, which is where Lee Ellen Shoemaker gets her "stage name"...
Instinctively drawn to especially acoustic areas, she unleashes her voice into these reverberant spaces, singing into cisterns, stairwells, parking garages and of course, tunnels. This disc was recorded live in a 2,000,000-gallon underground water tank ("the Cistern Chapel") which creates a 45-second reverberation as Shoemaker's voice echoes and re-echoes amongst eighty-eight roof support pillars, and returns softly diffused. Subtle textures are added by other locational occurences during recording, including falling grains of sand, water droplets, bird songs and droning planes and insects. The long, enchanting reverberation is natural and has not been electronically enhanced. "
robert opalio - the last night of the angel of glass
http://www.sendspace.com/file/s9ccu6
"Consisting of Roberto’s wordless vocal chants and celestial guitar drones, The Last Night of the Angel of Glass is a sparse recording. It starts off with the vocals dominating the sound as they oscillate and echo off of each other creating a hypnotic effect. More and more layers of dissonant vocals are spliced up and piled on top of each other til about the ten-minute mark when they drop out leaving a throbbing drone.
As this second section of the piece progresses more vocals are added but unlike the first section the dissonance is resolved for a moment and results in the most beautiful section of the piece. For the second half of the piece the vocals are mostly non-existent and in their place there are more dissonant sonar pings over the top of the same pulsing drone that appeared around the ten-minute mark. This pulsing drone eventually fades out and the album closes with the cosmic bleeps of Roberto’s guitar."
