It still seems rather absurd to Disaster Amnesiac that labels are releasing 3 inch CD products, but, at least in the case of Chicago's No Sides Records, they are. The occasional YouTube video featuring a collector influencer type admonishing other nerds to start buying CDs has emerged from my algorhythm, so obviously they are still a desired platform for listening amongst a group of some size or another. One of the recent tiny silver discs from No Sides is Evils by Indirect Means, which was produced and performed by Alan Bloor's Levels Of Existence. Bloor plays violin and violin with scrap metal in ways that produce microtonal, granular sounds throughout its near fifteen minute duration. A number of different type of visual images have arisen from my times listening, including revving Harley motors, ghosts of really ephemeral existence, popping tom tom drums, crackling wires, massive metal bridges, sepia toned photos, screaming damsels. You know, the kinds of visuals that make listening to Experimental Music in general and Industrial Music specifically appealing. Evils by Indirect Means was pulled from the synchronous web of inspirational aethers in a very fast manner by Alan Bloor, and apparently in the face of some hindering developments from a proposed co-sharing artist for its release. From what Disaster Amnesiac has been hearing from its sounds, Alan lacks neither creativity nor the kind of inspiration from which to pull some fantastic and adventurous musical. This roughly tripartite piece swings mightily fine.
