Taylor, Paul
Songs From A Hospital Bed
"Paul Taylor is one half of Sutcliffe Jugend and this harrowing solo album is one of the best noise albums I've heard in a long time. It is the soundtrack to a particularly brutal part of Taylor's life where he almost lost his life in a horrendous medical emergency. Taylor was in and out of a coma, had three major operations and ended up horribly scarred and addicted to morphine as a result of his hospitalization. This album, produced by Kevin Tomkins is both terrifying and darkly beautiful. Its cloaked in a sepulchral darkness and ripples with confiscating noise and ambient interludes. Menacing and foreboding work at times reminiscent of the early tape experiments of Maurizio Bianchi. Highly recommended." ~Kristian Carter. Limited to 200 copies.
