This epic 80 minute track uses all the possible time a CD can offer and manages to mix noise and industrial in the truest sense of the word. Sounds of clanging machines can be heard behind waves of synthetic drones of static that cry through the space. There’s always stuff going on and sometimes it’s hard to distinguish what is synthetic and what is real. A quarter of the way through we appear to descend into inhabited sewers where water drips, metal pipes clang and mutated creatures shriek in despair. Two thrids throw and we’ve found a dungeon where wind sweeps through causing rusty chains to clang. It’s not long before the adventure takes new turns into more chaos.The making of Napalmed’s ⅲ is an interesting one too. The majority of the recording is taken from a live improvised session in 2007. The blending of this recording with other sounds is seamless. A mastery of creating an aural picture of an industrial world with all harsh machines and rusty metals living in this crazy sound-scape chaos.The packaging is astounding. Napalmed spare no expense on ⅲ. The CD is encased in a seven page booklet of triangular pages increasing in size. Each page has a unique psychedelic picture. Bright colours obscure the shots of what is sometime nature and sometimes machine. The patterns play tricks with the mind and make this CD a real joy to have. (feedbackzine.ca)
