German Army - Kowloon Walled City
From deep inside the walls, vibrations resonate. Sounds from the outside are muted and not comprehensible. This is the station of the masses, outside noble strongholds, ceremonies within are left for wonder and speculation. German Army has opened up a window, a place to hear the proceedings clearly. These temporary gateways have been occurring all over the world and for well over a decade now. Hearing the services within completely fills expectations and goes on to transcend imaginable boundaries. The populace gives thanks.
Thirteen tracks in roughly forty five minutes makes Kowloon Walled City a diverse and lengthy composition. With so many tracks, there are moments diving into circuitry and static, but the electronic haze has been slightly turned down for this record. The articulate percussion seems to take center stage. Like some ritualistic right of passage, listeners feel the stately heaviness. Gamkonora, Waioli and Sahu are three selections emphasizing this observation. The same could be said for so many German Army releases, but Kowloon Walled City does tick to the tribal side of aural landscapes. Going back through decades of bands and sounds, this recording connects, growing from the roots, creating new beauty.
Kowloon Walled City is still an available German Army tape, but quantities are getting very low. A late September \\NULL|ZØNE// release from Athens, Georgia in an edition of fifty. Solid from start to finish.
