TERMINAL bOREDOM HAS REVIEWED THE TAPE

thanks TERMBO for listening and having an experience than later using words to describe sounds you heard on the tape. I like how you used the word "disorienting" to describe things, pretty far out stuff...plus i been listening to the Factorymen and Sockeye now and i didnt know them, i mean i had heard of Sockeye and now i've been tuning into their vast discography, it's pretty vast

thanks again here it is

I Know I'm An Alien "I Know I'm An Alien and I Want To Go Home Sometimes But then I Remember I Gotta Try and Understand You" cassette
The project name and release title, combined with some very wacky song titles had me thinking this might be a tough listen - a gimmick that would surely grow old after 16 songs. But it was actually a pretty good listen...a one-man project based out of the UK, by a man (alien?) calling himself Walter Weirdheadd. Very strange electronic experimentation with occasional guitar/bass, reminds me of the Factorymen project at times. But perhaps even a bit more disorienting. The "alien observing humanity" gag doesn't get old due to the fact that there are few vocals on the cassette - the vocals that are there are electronically distorted, and sometimes vastly overpower the rest of the track, sometimes the opposite. Tough to understand (even keeping an eye on the track titles), they mainly just make the whole affair more disorienting. More than anything, this tape reminded me of some of the obscure Sockeye side-projects...ones where they eschew their reliance on crude, absurd humor in favor of weirdness and social commentary. This guy's Bandcamp is worth checking out if you're a fan of this type of oddness. 50 physical copies made.(RR)

Here's the review:

On a standard occasion, one must put a coin in the slot of a strip mall spaceship to hear music like I Know I’m An Alien. This tape from late 2015, with the full title of “I Know I’m An Alien And I Want To Go Home Sometimes But Then I Remember I Gotta Try And Understand You”, is persistently jovial, but also a little bit “off”. A steady serfdom to bugged out, Weenish cartoonism, contagious fringe rock, and dingy weirdness. It all makes me think of a 1-star Chuck E. Cheese’s bootleg joint that opened up just a little too quick after a flood/fire combination took them out 3 weeks ago. But Teddy, the night manager, his cousin Ray “knows drywall” so they redid the whole place themselves. The carpet was soaked AND burnt, but is somehow still sticky to the touch. Layers of pizza ooze and “Slarpee’s” must have burrowed deep into the abyss of fibers. They didn’t even throw out the old pizza. It’s called “before flood pizza” and costs 50 cents less. Rejected mall cops dance in pathetic Sonic The Hedgehog costumes for 6-9 year old’s jacked up on Mountain Dew flavored pepperoni.

Sixteen cuts make up this gonzo-pop jukebox, each with their own coltish antics. Rowdy bass lines. Synthy kookiness. Conehead vocal stylings. It’s batty, man. Imagine Teddy’s band playing a gig through the water-damaged PA system while video games act up, ski ball goes haywire, and a gaggle of piss stained brats attack the token guy. The tracks exist in that perfect, on-the-fritz zone, where you don’t know exactly what will pop up next. A toy piano cover of Chariots Of Fire by someone’s pudgy newphew, Spanish guitar, and a globby softvapour drill all make their way into the fray. This is good time music, for nice people.

Low DPI cover art and 1998 font work only helps further I Know I’m An Alien’s nutty agenda. Full support over here. I hope they get back home one day. In the meantime, you can pick up a copy of this cassette, which is limited to 50, from their Bandcamp.

Alien News

A new album to be called "Still Alien Still Dreaming" is I would say ready to be shared in the physical plane of existence, meaning CD-R and virtual internet release for now. By physical plane I mean, before becoming an actual sound the music is a thought, so sounds are the way these thoughts exist in the material world, yes. The songs mostly revolve around the themes of mind control, alien races like the Anunnaki, the fall of Atlantis due to the overuse of technology and genetic engineering and the belief the we are all creators and not sheep like the commonly held misconception. One day we will know telepathy. yeah, pretty far out stuff. This album was recorded on cassette.

And also a Meditation album called "I Know I'm An Alien Meditations" is ready for release too. It was recorded with the use of Binaural Theta Waves technology tuned in 432Hz, the natural tuning. This stuff is all online for research, find the truth dude, whoever you are. There are seven tracks each one corresponding to a Chakra (energy centers in the Human Body) and each Chakra has a musical tone in which each song was recorded in. If you are a person who doesn't relate to this world where it's at at this point in evolution with it's money oriented ways then you must certainly need to meditate to not go completely nuts with shit.

Finally, a cassette release of the first I Know I'm An Alien Album I Know I am an Alien and want to Go Home Sometimes but then I Remember That I gotta Try and Understand you  is in the plans as well. Up til now it had only been available on bandcamp and CD-R.

A live band is being put together for amazing mind blowing performances of the pieces in that album as well as the upcoming release for gigs in London or wherever we get asked to go cause we free, ultimately we are free spirits, our Souls are just here visiting, a stroll in the park right

So yeah, Zappa is so great, but Beefheart, man, Zoot Horno Rollo solo albums, the Bozo one, Sun City Girls, what a fucking great band, they get it, they got it. And you know The Residents and Sun Ra, Renaldo and the Loaf, Terry riley, these are people that get it! And Picky Picnic from Japan.

Oh and Patti Smith, this interview here: http://www.salon.com/2015/10/05/patti_smiths_most_personal_interview_the_things_that_make_me_feel_strange_ive_transformed_them_into_work/

I'm excited about stuff.
