The European psych-noise group Alvars Orkester delivered their installment in the Recycled Music Series from RRR in 2005, and this was one of the first new releases from the legendary outfit to show up in quite awhile. The Swedish duo started out in 1987 with members Joachim Nordwall and Jan Svensson exploring the more psychedelic, drug-damaged side of experimental, analog post-industrial music, and they created an impressive body of work that stretched from highly creepy dronescapes to worlds of sweeping deep-space electronic weirdness. The music of Alvars Orkester has always had a dark, paranoid tint to it, and the tracks on this Recycled Series tape could easily pass for a lost expiermental horror movie score. It's a murky sonic realm squirming with warbling tape sludge, droning high pitched feedback, organic sounds that resemble alien creatures swarming inside a maze of human guts, deep buzzing tones that go through subtle shifts in pitch and speed, delicate little test-tone melodies, and murky, muddy waves of evil distortion sweeping out in oscillating concentric patterns. Really creepy, though sometimes quite pretty in a weird, kosmiche sort of way, a mixture of Throbbing Gristle, dismebodied Hawkwind fx, and Japanese psych blasters CCCC. This is one of the more transportational entries in the Recycled Music Series, for sure. And as with all entries in this infamous series, the tape and jacket are recycled random pop cassettes that RRR has covered in duct tape and scrawled on in black magic marker.
