Name: Hell's Harps by Christoph de Babalon
Duration: 5 min 27 s
Description: Taken from 'Traumspiel EP' . Originally released on Tigerbeat 6. Cover art by Ian Liddle - http://ianliddlework.blogspot.de/

I don't think I've heard electronic music used this way before. Foreboding, surrealist, so, cleanly orchestrated. The two most effective sounds on here is the sound of sped up chalk against chalk board and  what another commenter calls terror bass. Hans Zimmer needs to take a few notes.

This is some deliciously dark sh!t. So diggin it

Christoph de Babalon is known for tripping beats, dark wide spaces and eternal melancholy. He released his first record in 1994 on Hamburg's cult-label Fischkopf. Right after his debut he began working with Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings where he, besides a couple of other records released his most important work: the legendary album 'If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It'. DHR still say that it remains their most important release. As a co-founder of the music label Cross Fade Enter Tainment he has been putting out records since 1994 by influential electronic hardcore producers such as Somatic Responses, DJ Scud, Kouhei, Cdatakill, Unit Moebius, Zbigniew Karkowski and Merzbow.
