Golem "Orion Awakes"

All the liner note vagueness aside, this album is ominous, intense, and strangely contemporary. Is it possible Tortoise got stoned, jumped into a time machine and pretended to be Can? Sure, but who is this Genius P. Orridge producer? Yes, I spelled that right. So maybe there was room for Throbbing Gristle in that time machine...hey, sure, whatever man. This record builds slowly and uses the drums to frame the repetitive pulses and riffs into a vivid explosion. Man I gotta back to the future and star in Teen Wolf 3!
