Various Artists - Modus Vivendi: A Benefit Compilation For Chris Phinney [CDr]
2020 has certainly been difficult for everyone but it's all been multiplied for Chris Phinney. The incident that prompted music citizen extraordinaire Arvo Zylo to organize this benefit compilation was Chris being hit by an uninsured driver late last year while walking across the street, leading to a string of surgeries and medical bills. I talk to Chris regularly and have insight into the challenges he has faced.
However, whether you know Chris or not doesn't have to matter, because this is a killer compilation of 19 experimental music and avant-psychedelic artists, including some impressive luminaries from the homemade music underground.
Among the heavyweights is the late great Minóy, with an eerily deep space excursion. Attrition contribute a beautifully somber piece from the spectral Gothic beyond. PBK (Phillip B. Klingler) creates noisy, edgy, droney, creepy space wave layers and pulses. Cephalic Index (Mike Jackson) conjures up a bit of good fun collage craftsmanship. Aaron Dilloway contributes a quirky and strangely but awesomely rhythmic sound construction. Arvo and Chris team up for a blend of noisy wind tunnel and disorienting pulsations. Little Fyodor delights with 30 seconds of wigged out organ grinder lunacy. And I'm tickled to see Plastic Crimewave included with a totally trippy guitar piece.
There are also lots of artists that are new to me. I won't step through all of them, but among the ones that got my attention was Content Nullity, who crank out some Goth infused noise-rock. Cool stuff, I'll have to check out more from them. Theater Of Ice's tune sounds like The Residents gone totally drugged psychedelic. Need to hear more from these folks too. risaripa brings to mind something along the lines of The Residents/Snakefinger's Satisfaction. Really freaked out, love it! Lots of interesting noise and spaced out artists too.
GREAT compilation, you can't go wrong, AND it's for a good cause! Purchase CD or download from the No Part Of It label Bandcamp site...
