Cardboard Dead Boy

Famous When Dead

Label:

2866
sgray by Steve Gray November 24th, 2002

This impressive seven track debut comes described as "Industrial,ambient,lounge". I'd describe it as being a massive brawl between Kid606 & Alec Empire! Much of this is industrial noise blended together with hints of drum n bass, samples, cinematic landscapes and a healthy dose of insanity!

The pieces on show here are largely instrumentals & revel in glorious titles such as 'Comedy With Chevy Chase' & 'Another Shotgun Mission In The Wages Dept.' Although the person behind this uses the word ambient, don't expect some chill out noodlings, more your waiting to be smacked on the back of the head type ambient!

Even more reason to get this is that he was giving it out free, as is the forthcoming self released album, so if a bit of glitchy noise is your particular cup of brain shaking, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you...
