So. Before reviewing I visited discogs.com just out of curiosity to count in how many projects the name Richard Ramirez is mentioned. By that page the activity of this noise monster is neither big nor little - 46 different names of groups/projects/collaborations etc. I do not have what to say more. It means only that he successfully takes part in the scene of noise and keeping in mind that he is doing that for quite a long time, the potential is still not wasted and, perhaps, is not going to be wasted soon. In player this time - little b-card CDr release from Corrosive Art Records which lasts a little more than 5 minutes. The cover of the release - no surprise keeping in mind that this is Richard Ramirez - half nude man with a gas-mask. So, familiar fetishism. In the package there is also A4 xeroxed "poster" with some human being in latex. And overall package of the release is pleasant to look and to have in hands. The most important part of the release - the sound part - also is very pleasant. Regardless of the fact that this release is very short and there is no need to babble, but having in mind the quantity of releases that Richard Ramirez is throwing to publicity, there is no chance to avoid dispersion and fluctuation of quality from album to album and from project to project. And this "song" is from the good ones to listen to. From the very beginning Ramirez builds up rough and massive wall of noise, which pleasantly irritates my ears. Static noise roars for quite a time while in background constant pseudo-melodies of low sounds are heard. Around the half of the piece several layers of noise blends into one, a little flatter barricade of sound leaving dronish motives, that lightly and softly cuts through the whole piece, in other plane. From this point - the noise starts slow transformation and little by little deforms itself and the album ends. I cannot say that I am a fan of Richard Ramirez, but I had not one and not two pleasant hearings of this release. Short, concrete and clear.
