TG - Vow Of Silence (Preview Mix 2006)

The scene is cold and gray. Several rows of conferents look down the amphitheater at Doctor “Fingers” Schafer standing on a platform in the center.

Doctor Schafer
Gentlemen, the human nervous system can be reduced to a compact and abbreviated spinal column. The brain, front, middle and rear must follow the adenoid, the wisdom tooth, the appendix....I give you my master work: The Complete All American De-Anxietized Man!

We hear a loud metal door opening and closing. Enter The Man carried by two Negro Bearers who drop him on the platform with bestial, sneering brutality. They wait by the door.

The Man wiggles.

The conferents look down in disgust. Strange digesting sounds and a loud roar are heard off-screen. Waves of green smoke fill the room. The conferents hold their noses.

Doctor Schafer
Clarence!! How can you do this to me?? Ingrates!! Everyone of them ingrates!!

The conferents start back muttering in dismay. We hear:

Conferent #1
...I’m afraid Schafer had gone a bit too far...

Conferent #2
...I sounded a word of warning...

Conferent #3
...Brilliant chap Schafer...but...

Conferent #4
...Man will do anything for publicity...

Conferent #5
Gentlemen, this unspeakable and in every sense illegitimate child of Doctor Schafer’s perverted brain must not see the light....Our duty to the human race is clear...

A fat, frog-faced Southern doctor lifts his head up from a mason jar full of corn juice.

Southern Doctor
We must stomp out the Un-American crittah!

He advances drunkenly off-screen in direction of the thing.

Southern Doctor
(O.S.)
Fetch Gasoline! We gotta burn the son of ***** like an uppity Nigra!

Negro Bearer
(to his colleague)
Man he done see the light

FADE OUT

FADE IN

Int. Courtroom

Judge
Order in the court!

The D.A rises to face the jury.

D.A.
Gentlemen of the jury, these “learned gentlemen”...

He points to the familiar faces of the conferents at the plaintiff stand.

...claim that the innocent human creature they have so wantonly slain suddenly turned himself into a huge black centipede and it was “their duty to the human race” to destroy this monster before it could, by any means at it’s disposal, perpetrate it’s kind....Are we to gulp down this tissue of horse ****? Are we to take these glib lies like a greased and nameless *******? Where is this wondrous centipede? “We have destroyed it”, they say smugly....And I would like to remind you, Gentlemen and Hermaphrodites of the Jury, that this Great Beast-

He points to Doctor Schafer at the defendant stand.

D.A.
-has on several occasions, appeared in this court charged with the unspeakable crime of brain rape....In plain English-
(he pounds his fist on the rail of the jury box)
-in plain English, Gentlemen, forcible lobotomy!

The Jury gasps. One member dies of a heart attack. Three fall to the floor in writhing orgasms of prurience.

The D.A. points dramatically to Doctor Schafer.

D.A.
He it is....He and no other who has reduced whole provinces of our fair land to a state of bordering on the far side of idiocy....He it is who has filled great warehouses with row on row, tier on tier of helpless creatures who must have their every want attended....”The Drones” he calls them with a cynical leer of pure educated evil....Gentlemen, I say to you that the wanton murder of Clarence Cowie must not go unavenged: This foul crime shrieks like a wounded faggot for justice at least!

A loud roar and crashing sounds are heard coming from the court entrance.

All turn their heads to the chaos.

Voice
(O.S.)
Man, that mother ****er’s hungry! I’m getting out of here, me.

The Negro bearer comes crashing through the door out of sight.

A wave of electric horror sweeps through the conferents.

They storm the exits screaming and clawing.

Invest my heart of gold
because life is part of a bigger whole
i'll invest my body and soul
and take control
my fear for misery gives thirst for victory

so young and new 
one single pleasure is a vast blood pressure
tearing up the body is the need to it better

the destiny is concealed
but brother I trust that this race is not lost
and out bloodlust will stop this enemy
the fear for misery gives first for victory

so young and new
one single pleasure is a vast blood pressure
tearing up the body is need to do better

The midnight hour crept unto thee with hasty caution, revealing 'A Little Night Music: Aural Apparitions from the Geographic North', our third putrid prowl into Halloween-inspired sounds to torment and tantalize throughout the season. For this bout of distinguished dementia, we culled 31 brand new tracks of haunted hysteria conjured by some of the most alluring ambientists and outer auteurs from around the world. 

Spanning over two hours across two cassettes, 'A Little Night Music…’ unfurls itself in a literary horror structure, appearing and disappearing through a stirring Prologue and Epilogue by London-based cellist Oliver Coates, with each side of the cassettes introducing its Chapter with a chilling dirge courtesy of the inscrutable Geographic North House Band.  

What fills the ensuing pages is a mirthful tale concocted by an assembly exploring a realm all at once mournful and fatalist at its core. Entries from Clarice Jensen, Malibu, and the collaboration of Like a Villain and Christina Vantzou bring about endless glacial landscapes accented by pitch-grey skies. Conversely, transmissions from Michael Valentine West, M. Sage, Gregg Kowalsky, and Austrian ambient stalwart Fennesz explore richly textured mines of foreboding glee. 

Suspicion is the word when considering Zelienople’s eerie horse-carriage clip-clop, Nick Malkin’s neon-lit noir-jazz, or Carmen Villain’s gripping dub excursion. Elsewhere Ki Oni, Takagi Masakatsu, and Mary Lattimore (joined here by Paul Sukeena) provide glimmers of warmth amidst a tortured chill. 

Notable is the resurrection of Lotus Plaza and his solemnly hopeful piano composition, while barren hallucinations courtesy of Alex Zhang Hungtai, Ilyas Ahmed, and Danny Paul Grody set the stage for a third act confrontation from Atlantans Fit of Body and Algiers, providing a one-two serving of sensual unrest and cautionary homily.  

With hope and resolve shimmering through the final moments of our journey, know that all proceeds from the digital and cassette editions go directly toward Feminist Women's Health Center, an Atlanta-based nonprofit providing safe, accessible, and compassionate abortion and gynecological care to all those who need it without judgement.
