In a relatively short existence Ghoul Detail has released well over forty recordings in just less than two years, is this case of quantity over quality? Perhaps so, who knows for sure, one thing is though is that Ghoul Detail is having a good time doing what he is doing, and isn’t averse to having a sense of humor. Ghoul Detail is the product of one man throwing himself headlong into his work after the demise of a relationship for the past fifteen years, how much more of an impetus does someone need? Humor aside though this release is not a joke.

Over the course of this release, some aspects are less noisy than others are and surprisingly rhythmic as well, the disc opens to the grinding, slowly moving (or is that slithering) sonic assault that is “Zacatechichi” which provides the perfect landscape for a dream, allowing your imagination to venture off into a multitude of directions. Not short on undulating currents of noise that have for the most part clanging cymbals that seem to have been stretched and looped with what easily could be taken as the fluttering of wings, Tangier, 1962 comes to mind. This release for the most part is pure noise constructed upon layers of filtered and processed sound that builds and dips and then flitters off into oblivion. The song structures are dense and may I even say brooding at times, sufficient room is given to catch ones breath and kick back before the immersion begins again.

Another track of note is “San Pedro” while having a deep electric background drone that is being bombarded constantly by bombs of glitch, is probably the only track off the cd that could remotely be considered for the chill-out room if need be, it is a slow simmering synthscape made complete by a backdrop of a choral piece that dissipates and reforms to give the track a circular quality.

As with any artist that releases so much work in such a short time this release could have ended up being something other than what it is, worthwhile.
