The album begins with the haunting and hypnotic sounds of ritualistic cult activity - visceral singing, tribal percussion and other gathered noises, which have been electronically manipulated and echoed, over which lies a mysterious voice sample, heralding the darkness to come...
Throughout the rest of these songs you will hear the familiar mixed with the unfamiliar, the mundane mixed with the surreal... a series of dark hallucinatory soundscapes filled with raging wails of distortion, unsettling drones, tremulous grainy textures, swirling voices, empty building sounds, desolate reverberations, industrial mechanisms grinding away, fractured white noise, eerie synth melodies, creepy ambience, rhythmic thumps, watery tones, trembling electronica, groaning rumbles, dissonant atmospherics and other abstract sonic phenomena.
'Hallucinated Music' is a dark, troubling and utterly intriguing listening experience. It constantly makes me wonder about the original source material for these field recordings. It also makes me marvel as to how seamlessly these manipulated field recordings blend with all the twisted sound samples and fragments of dark, eerie music. This is brilliant experimental noise.
