Vidna Obmana - The River of Appearance (1996)
The Ultimated Sign of Burning Death is Vidna Obmana's first release, and as you may have guessed from the title, it is far, far removed from the tranquil ambient/new age sound for which the project would become known. Instead of gentle tribal drumming and ethereal synthesizers, we get rumbling static, inhuman howls, distorted moans, cacophonous tape loops, and jagged feedback. It took me years to track this down, and I still haven't been able to find The Face That Must Die -- any leads would be greatly appreciated.

ReplyDeleteThe cassette or the CD?
I wrote this before the CD reissue came out, which I found shortly after it came out. Would still love to get a rip of the OG cassette!
