Terminal Sound System

The 2008 Masterpiece Constructing Towers finally repressed on cd and vinyl. Terminal Sound System is the nom de plume of Skye Klein, who merges together electronica, drum and bass and rock music on Constructing Towers. Packing all these elements into a single noisy convergence of drum splashes and distorted fizz is opening track 'In Your Planet', which sounds like a grand finale to the album before it's even got underway. 'Alaska' is another fiery package, full of thrashy malevolence. Towards the end of the album a soundtrack-style, loungey jazz theme seems to set in through the Twin Peaks vibes of 'Duchamp Falls' and 'Theme For Broken Home', making for a far more rounded listening experience than the powerful bluster of its early stages might have suggested.

Terminal Sound System's ninth album and first for Germany's Denovali Records called Heavy Weather kicks the doomy shoegazing headphase into top gear, draping layers of detuned drone & dissonance over beds of swampy synths and meticulous rhythms. Created over a period of a year using everything from custom-programmed software instruments to a miced-up room full of feeding back amplifiers, Heavy Weather represents the ultimate realisation thus far of Klein's mission with TSS: complete and uncompromising immersion. vinyl: 180g; thick gatefold sleeves; 3 different colors cd: digipak listening: www.denovali.com/terminalsoundsystem

After ten albums, TSS has expanded to include live instrumentation and synchronious video projection, merging epic doom, post-rock and jazz with electronica, drum'n'bass and heavy dub into a style wholly unique. Ostensibly a studio project, Terminal Sound System takes on new life as a live entity, infusing hyperprecise digital audio with the energy of rock & metal, all presented before synchronised video projection. A Sun Spinning Backwards is a record filled with foreboding and hope in equal measures; foreboding for a seemingly unstoppable race towards extinction, hope for a future path that will be shaped and paved by our children. Weaving together threads of post-rock and electronica, space-rock atmospherics with devastating passages of doom, A Sun Spinning Backwards is a multifaceted journey from inner to outer space.

Terminal Sound System: Dust Songs [2 Vinyl LP]

Roughly a dozen releases have tracked the evolution of Terminal Sound System from post-techno dub experiment to post-everything world-building/destroying. The Endless Sea is the third part of a trinity that began with 2013's 'A Sun Spinning Backwards'. Worlds fell, necessary actions were taken. What happens after exodus, when all is left behind and you get a blank slate? Do we replay the past? Recreate or reimagine? 2015's 'Dust Songs' and 'The Endless Sea' bleed into one another, drawing to conclusion this particular arc. The wave curls back on itself, corrosion amplified. There are more questions here than answers, far more uncertainties than truths. Post-industrial folk stories from a barren earth. Scorched and infinite.
