MASTER
CONTROL
"Master
Control was meant to hurt, and it did. It still does. Now 20 years later
it comes across as a work of true and deeply original vision. Even better
than the first time. Obviously it takes its departure from the Iphar
/ Whitehouse / Broken Flag-tradition, but rapidly takes a weird turn
and ends up somewhere else; at the very edge of a completely unknown
territory. The unspeakable mad landscapes of HP Lovecraft seems to be
one point of reference, snuffmovies by Brazilian deathsquads another.
And plenty of attitude in between. Sure, its the work of a mad
man, but its also the work of a stunningly apocalyptic genius;
it will likely blow your mind as it did mine. This is extremely powerful
stuff. I never quite recovered from this one."
Most people tend to want to forget, we dont. That is why we have chosen to re-release this killer tape. Master Control was originally released as an ultra-obscure tape back in 1988, and listening to it now, it is clear that it has stood the test of time, and sounds just as raw, visceral and bloodthirsty as it did back then. We are not re-releasing this because someone involved got famous doing folk music years later, no we do it simply because we think it deserves to be more than a rumour at the outer fringes of lunatic Norrland. This is how we remember music from when we were kids dark, obsessive and frightening as hell. Master Control contains the original c-60 plus a 10 minute bonustrack recorded in 1988. 1
minute samples from the CD are available here:
