Blood Song - All In Your Mind [Bored Bear Recordings - 2012]“All In Your Mind” is 11th in series of twelve monthly three inch CDR releases, which are been put out through-out 2012 by Ireland's Bored Bear Recordings. Each release in this new series offers up a debut release from one of twelve new projects that are been put together by highly influential & respected Texas noise artist Richard Ramirez. Blood Song is a solo Ramirez project, and from what’s on display here I guess you’d say the project is a mixture of dark fixed noise drone matter with some brooding ambient walled noise undertones. The project is seemingly themed around 1982 slasher/psycho horror movie of the same name, and the film told of a psychopath who escapes from a mental institution and starts a murder spree, which ends in the pursuing of a young handicapped girl, who once got a blood transfusion from him This release features just a single track entitled “All In Your Mind” which comes in at around the twenty minute mark. The track consists of one long murky & grim tone sustain, and this is played over by a locked down, blunt & muffled line of rumbling-to-slightly-crackle bound noise drone. The track sort of pressers down on you in a very airless, and bleak manner, with Ramirez nicely managing to recreate a nice nihilistic 1980’s air.
All told this project has quite a distinctive bleak & muffled based noise drone/ grim ANW feel to it, that doesn’t really feel like any of his other many projects. So I look forward to hearing more from this project in the future. Roger Batty
