Halo of Trout 1: Sci-fi & Lo-fi

Halo of Trout is an ambitious project, split into two segments, covering a comprehensive range of material. 

It’s mainly the work of Dog Star Pig. Here are some descriptions of the content:

Kitschy 1 [2019] by The Screwdrivers is an exploration of fandom, scopophilia, onanism and iconography. With its dual funked-up basslines, it’s a Waxworks classic. Here’s a clip from the start, revealing those duelling basses.

Sperminator Abominatrix, [2019] by Verbal Knives: the protagonist in this sordid little tale, is the ultimate nightmare for any misogynist. This is a lurid heavy recall of the abject. It’s probably the ultimate nightmare for the listener, too. Grand.

Sci-Fi & Lo-Fi is a gentle ambient piece, another work of Eskallonia Kwiksilva, who appeared unannounced in 2017.
Reworked and renamed by a different bunch, Personal Computer, fans of Kraftwerk. A welcome return to the terrain (or space?) of soundtracks. Minimal.

The Whiter Cliffs Of Dover (Vera Lynn) - Organised Crime

Full-on electro madness.

Halo of Trout - Afghan Rebels

Moody. Brooding. Your speakers are haunted. There is some gorgeous soothing guitar after the unsettling Beefheart verses. If you can, hunt down the instrumental mix. Magic stuff for a magic band.

Unpeggy Sue - Ribeye

One of Wild Woolly’s Horny Rams, Langley ‘Ribeye’ Hawke, channelled his inner Ry Cooder to come up with a delightful instrumental right out of the Louisiana swamps. You can check out the results on Wild Woolly’s page.

Too Much Fungus (In My Trousers) - Ribeye

Another of Langley’s offerings. He loves open tunings.

Ruptured My Elbow -

in production

Weapons Of Mass Distraction - Batshit Fruitcake

Finally completed after several orbits of the solar system, this nine-minute ditty features all sorts of questionable characters. A call to (non) arms in the midst of a 21st century genocide, it takes no media prisoners.

King Of Klitophilia - Caribbean Clowns

Another session almost hijacked by Kwiksilva. His electro brain makes light work of the presets which sound as if they belong on a Donovan album. Cosmic River. Mortal Star. They soon get butchered in the Akai. The Caribbean Clowns create some weird piano overdubs. They twist my arm to supplement the aural carnage with some demented treated guitar parts. Who could resist? In two days they take something which ought to have been binned and turn it into something which should be binned. The coup-de-grace has to be the sampled robotic voice. Amazingly, it doesn’t work. Another generically-challenged meltdown!

Bagpipe (see under Dipole - morphed into The Slaughtering Of The MacClachlan Haggis - Video Nasties

Drums stomping like an Orc at the seaside.
