Flatline Construct - Chiroptera
Title: Chiroptera
Artist: Flatline Construct
Format: CD-r
Year Released: 2005
Label: Obscurica
An album about bats. How fucking cool is that? Here we have Canada's (yeah!) Flatline Construct, and his latest (as far as I know) offering on the northwest label Obscurica. Apparently he sat in a cave and gets his inspiration from that, and it certainly shows. Just listen to the first track, 'Fingers Spread And Give Hint To Wing', a heavy, loud, ambient and cave-ish drone/noise track. All these expectations of uneventful drone are soon shattered to dust, as 'Wings Now Lick The Air So Cold' starts. Say hello to distortioned ambient. Although i'd have to say there is always an ambient undertone to this album, it's dark as hell. Best track is probably 'Insectivores Shimmer In The Night' (yes, I know, the title are utterly kick-ass), an 8 minute excursion into a cave full of thousands of bats. Although it does end in a softly, the first 2 minutes of skippy horrible noise make up for it. So overall, if you like bats, ambient undertones, horror and horrible noise, you owe this cd-r to yourself.

Flatline Construct fucking rocks.
There are so many awesome projects coming out of Western Canada these days -- I need to find out about more on the Ontario/Quebec side of things. I only know a couple of Toronto noise musicians.
