Leitmotiv Limbo side of the Hyster Tapes #25 Split tape

RADIO FREE MIDWICH

This glorious, DIY as you like, split tape from Hyster really is the business.

The great Leitmotiv Limbo delivers a side of their trademark music-as-psychic-attack. In a series of smeared moans the mysterious Leitmotiv molds deep throbs from what I’m guessing is some sort of woolly synth and jacked it straight to the dirtiest, most warped tape in their collection for a quick foggy mastering job.

Each column of sound is oscillating like a sausage being pumped with sonic gristle and fat. The plump pink hands of the butcher (each fingernail a crescent of blood) are surprisingly agile and gentle as the tube of minced flesh gets heavier and heavier. Now imagine the gory mess being mashed slowly, sensuously into your ears.

It’s not all spit and sawdust…things get decidedly holy on ‘Door C’ as a whiff of incense coils like rope hissing through the gates of heaven. The mood is deepened on ‘Door E’ which generates that feeling of helpless exhaustion after an early winter run. You stand, steaming like a racehorse, hands on hips, breathing in the frigid air, the mind a perfect, beautiful blank.

In the best possible way Leitmotiv Limbo conjure up the in-between moments of life. The pauses and stutters; the twitches and delicious stretches. A satisfied yawn cast in iron

VITAL WEEKLY 1152

From the label that recycles old cassettes into new releases comes a split release with one side... armed with a synth of
some kind and electronics at his or her disposal, doing a nice free freak out, playing
around with sounds, textures and moods rather than rhythms and sequences. The cover lists six
track titles, but for all I know this could also be eight or one, but in different parts. It is all a
most enjoyable free ride on murky synth tones, cassettes covered with dust and rust, and a wild
excursion of delay and other pedals. It is never really ambient, spacious but more your dark trip
into a friendly psychedelic nightmare; of sorts. Maybe you get my drift. Maybe not. (FDW)

CASSETTE GODS

Robot heart and lung; pipes, wires, hollows & spools. Leitmotiv Limbo’s side of this esoteric split is all charming hiss and white-noise whisper'd transmission, minimally excited circulatory system, a hushed circle spinning, off axis, sleepy cycle wobble & rock self on back to sleep.
