专辑简介
The latest installment in My Cat Is An Alien's ongoing split LP series sees the Italian Opalio brothers hooking up with Portland, Oregon's Jackie-O Motherfucker for two sides of all-improvised rock that serves both to buttress the form and expand the reach of its tongues. While both of the previous collaborations with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Jeweled Antler associates Thuja featured fine standalone tracks, there was little to suggest any attempt at thematic unity. On Volume 3, both sides seem more directly related, with Jackie-O Motherfucker completely upping roots in order to more fully engage with My Cat Is An Alien's translucent sound forms. The Jackie-O track is titled Breaking and sounds like little else in their back catalogue, an implosion of enervated stellar shortwave, frail, wordless vocals, displaced environmental sound and forlorn piano arranged according to the obtuse narrative logic of an aleatoric radio play. Although at points the wow and flutter of the electronics is mixed so high that it overwhelms the rest of the track to fairly kitsch effect, it's the middle section that's the most transporting. It moves from a web of crossed wires generated by recordings of phone calls built around endless Warholian non sequiturs through to some dub-damaged digital space that parallels New York groups like Excepter and Gang Gang Dance's circuit-bending experiments with echo. Over on the flip, My Cat Is An Alien present a 20 minute improvisation recorded live at their Turin Space Room in July 2004. It's one of their most beautiful conceptions to date, with guitar and xylophone combining in subtle bell tones while huge harmonic cogs wheel slowly through the background. As with the rest of the series, the LP comes in a special Space Art edition of only 100 copies complete an original 12 x 12 wood-mounted painting by Roberto Opalio. Any interested humans not in the group's immediate family can rest easy in the knowledge that UK label Very Friendly are reissuing the entire series on CD. (David Keenan, Jan 2005, The Wire)
