STILL NO COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL

4.5 stars.This is one of my favourite DJAM KARET records, and I love the title too.This was wholly improvised using a single stereo microphone with no over-dubs. Unbelieveable ! I'm still having a hard time reconciling how brilliant these songs are with the fact they weren't slowly and carefully planned out. How can this be ?

"No Vacancy At The Hotel Of Noise" opens with a good beat as the guitar creates a soundscape that is slowly shifting and evolving. Angular guitar before 2 minutes.This is fantastic trippy music. "Twilight In Lonely Lands" is pastoral with organ early. It's kind of spacey actually, and the percussion 1 1/2 minutes in is cool.The guitar starts to make some noise after 3 1/2 minutes. It starts to settle 5 1/2 minutes in becoming quite spacey as the guitar and percussion have stopped. "Room 24,Around Noon" opens with slow moving sounds that come and go including e-bow,sounds cry out in this experimental intro. It's 4 minutes in before we get a melody. It becomes laid back with a jazzy flavour 5 1/2 minutes in. The guitar comes in beautifully 7 minutes in.

"The Black Line" is a great tune as we get these frog and cricket sounds along with a spacey backdrop. Some didgeridoo in this one as well. Percussion before 5 minutes as haunting and spacey sounds continue. Another amazing track. "Night, But No Darkness" builds quickly as organ comes in. The guitar starts to grind away before 2 minutes.The tempo is picking up. Angular guitar 4 minutes in. Bass before 5 minutes as the guitar starts to rip it up.The organ is back after 7 minutes. "Strange Wine From A Twisted Fruit" is the almost 29 minute closer. It begins with mellow guitar sounds. Percussion 2 minutes in. The guitar starts to get louder 4 1/2 minutes in. A great melodic sound 7 minutes in. A fuller sound 10 minutes in. Awesome sound 13 1/2 minutes in. Haha.The guitar is great in this one. Dual guitars 18 minutes in. The tempo picks up 24 minutes in while the guitar is tearing it up.

I'm a big fan of the soundscapes these guys create.The combination of spacey passages with prominant guitar and drums pleases me to no end.
