Nurse With Wound!

[hogge@p.cs.uiuc.edu (John Hogge)]

Well well well, Nurse With Wound is still working.  Their new album,
"Spiral Insana," is pretty good.  Starts out with some low organ peddle and
gets weird (of course) from there.  Basically I'm not going to try describing
it much, other than to say that I remember hearing some instruments not
usually found on NWW (wind instruments, guitars).  The noise is very
listenable and fairly dense (as opposed to their extremely minimal work with
Organum earlier last year).  It is serious, as opposed to all the funny
sounds found on The Sylvia and Babs High Thigh Companion.  Overall, a good
conceptual noise album.  But Sylvia is more fun and "Brained by Falling
Masonry" is more scarry, so this LP ranks lower than these works.
