Another CDR by Mattin (see also Vital Weekly 294), this time solo and lasting
just under 10 minutes, in which he manages to play eight tracks of furious
noise. Short and to the point. I assume Mattin solo is also computer feedback,
and he is more noisy then his on his collaborations. Kinda like Merzbow in punk
length, with tracks just over 1 minute. Which I think is a good thing: whereas
noise usually stretches one idea out for the entire length of a CD, Mattin,
plays one idea for a short period and then moves on to the next idea. More
people should do that. But noise is something you either love or hate, and then
length doesn't matter. (FdW)
