Subliminal Stimuli - Journey Through My Mind Review [1114112147]

Hello friends and neighbours! Here's my review of a very special album by a friend of mine called Journey Through My Mind.

1. Journey Through My Mind

The title track is very cartoony and distorted and creepy and is only about 2 minutes long so it can't really be called a full length song, although it does make a pretty decent intro, as it matches and summarizes the rest of the album, with its mix of cartoony/distortion/glitch/abstract/noise.

2. Nothing Lasts Forever

This track (my favorite) starts out relatively quiet with a computer voice singing in a sad tone, when suddenly a giant distorted wall of bass comes at me out of nowhere and starts screaming and taunting me, while another sad computer voice harmonizes the words "I guess nothing lasts forever" over a psychotic drum beat.

3. Everything's Blue

This is a dark slower track with glitchy percussion and a sample of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails saying "Everything;s blue in this world" on repeat for 2.5 minutes.

4. Fuggo

I don't know what the title means; ask him yourself. What I do know is that this track consists of a 4-note melody and a jungle beat loop which he may or may not have even created himself. And you had the nerve to call my Ice Cold Sunshine theme song "simple and repetitive? Negro please!

5. Friends of Bill W.

In this track, the melody is substituted by  dozens of vulgar and profane voice samples from the movie Blue Velvet (which, by the way, I have never watched nor do I plan to in the future, thanks to this song), streaming over top of an industrial-ish beat.

6. Your Gonna Die

Yes, I am aware that the word "you're" is misspelled. Again, blame him. This track consists of nothing but heavy, distorted, irritating, aggravating, debilitating, brain-drilling, migraine-and-vomit-inducing NOISE, following the tradition of his earlier Aphex Twin-V/vm "remixes".

7. Trojan.PGPCoder.Win32.Gpcode

This track is named after a computer virus (or one of AFX's Analord tracks) but doesn't really sound like either. 2 notes repeating for 2 or 3 minutes with more harmonizing 2-note loops building up as it progresses.

8. Diphenhydramine

The final track is named after the chemical ingredient in Benadryl - and it sounds like an audiological manifestation of what one feels when they overdose on that chemical (and orphan tears). It's basically a variety of sound samples manipulated, chopped and screwed (and I mean REALLY screwed) to produce his version of an "ambient" track. 
Actually I lied. It's actually a clip from "Freak on a Leash" by KoRn slowed down hella. Nothing more.

That was my review, I hope you all download it, enjoy it, and then puke until there's nothing left in your system but phlegm and bile. Peace out, bitches.
