Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on their own Sterile Records imprint, this early cassette outing by the British sound-art collective is a relentless plunge into bleak, proto-industrial noise. Constructed using rudimentary synthesizers, tape loops, and harsh environmental recordings, 'Fruiting Body' establishes an intensely claustrophobic and uncompromising mechanical atmosphere[cite: 1].
