Two more blasts of alien flightpath correspondence from the ever reliable Hive Mind on this tape. Side A scans across interference-laden airwaves in search of a signal, glimpsing eroded tones among a field of radio fuzz. Starting out with the regular purr of a possessed oscillator and accumulating more haunted electronics before vanishing into the ether. Much like the best of Skull Defekts early material there’s a sense of things taking on a life of their own. Trying to decipher the title scrawl on the spine I had assumed it read ‘A Beast Within’, I’m a little disappointed to find I’m wrong.Side B is a less absorbing outing to my mind, dominated by what could be the spasmodic flutterings of a giant rubber band recorded at the other end of ten metres of plastic ducting. This sound is moulded throughout, becoming buried in Hive Mind’s trademark hovering craft hum and gentle abrasions as things progress.
