Demons - Untitled loop tape

Years ago the blog Corrupted Delights (which seems not to be functioning, sadly) as well as Bleak Bliss had posted a untitled tape made by Demons (Nate Young/Wolf Eyes-Steve Kenney) which featured an endless loop repeating itself with various short durations. The sound of that loop was the most sinister and contaminated evil synth noise that someone could have ever vomited on this planet, and for a long time I used to play it to fall asleep. I played it when I was doing my army service sleeping a few hours between my guard duty, and I repeated it for many hours in the morning while I was writing my MA thesis, only to end up in the afternoon lying on the carpet feeling that my brain had become completely fried by studying and listening to this.

So, I decided to buy it for archive purposes as well as play it on my new ghettoblaster that I have in the kitchen, but I was slightly disappointed. Instead of that evil synth, there was a cool - on the one hand - but completely different loop - on the other. What I hear is a bass loop rising and falling, alternating with a weak pulsing throb. Yes, it's cool, sounds a little bit like sounds from Dawn of the Dead or Cannibal Holocaust in devouring scenes but it's not the demonic puke emitted from the bowels of Marvel's Blackheart (do you remember the epic arcade game Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter?). Contacting the seller, he said that he thinks that there must probably be different versions, which makes sense that I tested it on different tape decks to see if there was a problem with the one. I'm thinking of trying to buy another copy so that I might be lucky, but I guess I won't do so.

Therefore, I decided to post both versions, mine and the one posted by Corrupted Delights, for you to compare and tell me what you think has happened here.

Failing Lights / Demons / Graveyards ‎– Night Of The Lone Wolf Two

A 2007 live recording in Rochester and I love how these are three side-projects of the then-Wolf Eyes line-up (Nate Young-Demons, Mike Connely-Failing Lights, and John Olson-Graveyards) without Wolf Eyes performing. The highlights are the sinister noisebient of Demons and the dark-as-fuck free jazz/improv of Graveyards. 2007 tape on American Tapes.

Wolf Eyes - Undertakers Part 1 tape

Shiiit this is dark and satanic. It sounds like they've been performing a ritual on fucked up drugs. 2003 tape on Since 1972.

Universal Eyes (Universal Indians & Wolf Eyes) ‎– Four Variations On 'Artificial Society' cd

It was sad to hear that Jim Baljo is no longer a member of Wolf Eyes; his guitar terror was a great addition in recent Wolf Eyes albums; that said, Nate Young and John Olson still keep it real as a duo. In this new shit, they work together with Universal Indians, an early 90s group that featured John Olson, Aaron Dilloway and Gretchen Gonzales-Davidson, so in fact it's like Wolf Eyes together with Dilloway again plus an associate of theirs. Here they go even deeper into jazz territory, with Olson blasting awesome sax screams all over the place. Nate Young doesn't sing at all, but he is handling awesome terrifying electronics with Gonzales-Davidson, while Dilloway evokes some awesome heavy terror drones. Great improvisational music with a nice percussion touch and generous vibes of 1970s psychedelic kosmische music; as if you expected something less than awesome by these guys. 2018 cd on Lower Floor.

Nate Young - Regression cd

 

This should have been released in the late-1970s as a soundtrack to a horror movie. Unnerving and claustrophobic electronics made through mind-numbing loops and synths. What else could you expect by Nate Young, brothers and sisters? Originally released as a lathe laser disc in 2008, this is a cd rerelease by iDEAL Recordings.
