one for the winter months upcoming, De Babalon definitely stood as the black sheep of the digital hardcore roster. just peerless and artistic production throughout, with a deep sense of gloom.
This is one of the best things that DHR ever put out. Actually, the DHR Limited sublabel in particular had some really great albums - this one, 'Black Ark' by Carl Crack (RIP), '100 Decisions Per Second' by Patric Catani, and the Alec Empire vs Merzbow live album are all top tier
@@object-orient if you dig this album, I'd also recommend 'Analog Worms Attack' by Mr Oizo. Very different from his later work, much more hip-hop and breakbeat orientated, dirty analog saturation and distortion everywhere
@@object-orientJust DHR? - Christoph de Babalon's "Destroy Berlin" (EP) and Alec Empire's "The Destroyer". But Christoph de Babalon has produced a lot more material not on DHR.
Happily wasted many of my youthful hours at the turn of the century contemplating this masterpiece of melancholia in a moss-side terrace. It's interesting that he didn't really blend his ambient style with the hard breaks but kept them separate, which perhaps helps make the LP so good.
Man I remember when I was 12-13 I bought Digital Hardcore Recordings vs Invisible Records vol 1 cd from hot topic and My Confession was on there and I would listen to that track in my room with the lights off with my black light and just ponder about life. Im finally listening to this album for the first time 18ys later
album cover makes me think of an abandoned russian school, you're in a random corridor and the sky is grey, the place is really silent and you just get bad feelings
I just recently found all my old DHR stuff from the mid to late 90's (an amazing time for music)...... this was always one of my most favourite records! His interview from the DHR newspaper makes so much sense..... he lists COIL's 'horse rotorvator' and Throbbing gristle's 'heathen earth' as influential records...... you can definitely hear that......
Was listening to this whille having 40 minutes left to work on a huge school project; there's a good balance between ambient and anxious. Makes me feel like I'm in a spy movie lol
recently found and listened to this album start til finish, and let me tell you it's an experience to sit through all the tracks, absolutely fucking brilliant! one of my top favourite albums of all time
Absolute masterwork of an album, both in the direct musical aspect of it but also in the larger artistic meaning. Each song, be it the intense break-fueled rushes of Nostep or What You Call A Life or the dark ambiances of Opium or High Life, feeds this overarching feeling of antisocial was put into perspective by the album cover. It’s a feeling I can relate to a lot, a facade of indifference and disgust under which lies a more vulnerable self.
what a peculiar album, it feels really ominous at times, especially when it's only atmospheric but then i feel elevated by the rhythm of drums mixed with it with a few peak where i ended up bobbing to the music
One of my favorite albums of all time. It has such a specific vibe, i have been searching for years to find something like this. Thanks for uploading it.
Still such a (obviously) massive album. I could never tire of his work, Babalon has always been an original voice. Been listening to the “Hectic Shakes” ep a lot lately, it’s dark & exudes a sense of magic similar to “The Elements” by Datach’i 🖤🖤
You simply MUST Listen to early (or more recent..but for late '80s) ATARI TEENAGE RIOT/ALEC EMPIRE.- Some A.E. is Truly rare (His mixes with Elvis are a noise to behold!! He's also done neat Incomparable works like THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN VAMPIRE SLAYER (that doesnt look right but I'm NOT starting on a hunt for it now!) And SHIVERS is an Alec solo 'Trimmed back' sonics&gravelly voice sing love and peace, over Riots & anarchy!! Must be the Only 'love' album I have being mostly into experi-electronis/noise/IDMButts&Grunge!!
You listened to THIS tripping? Fuck man that sounds horrible, honestly. Intense experience but probably a bit much for acid or anything remotely pleasant. Maybe a horrible K-hole...
Sounds like the kinda stuff you used to hear on the John Peel show, especially the evil sounding Jungley stuff. Reminds me of a track I heard on one of his shows a million years ago (back when tapes were still common) called something like "Cop in a Coma" lol. Not my style even though I love Jungle, but definitely worth a listen just for how weird it is! One track I DID like though was Brilliance. I don't mind some of that pure pads, pure atmosphere shit. Like Jungle without the bass or drums. Perfect to zone out to.
no loll that's just google being weird, if you check wikipedia there's no source for that. in www.theransomnote.com/music/interviews/introversion-and-terror-christoph-de-babalon-talks/ he says he was a teenager while recording "The Haunting Past..."
Антон, я знаю ты ещё Здесь с полным Альбомом! Кристоф Жив и надеюсь, Он всем ещё расскажет о новых, и не новыХ Вариантах !, Привет Антон! Привет Кристофф!
I feel like Andy stott took a few pointers from christoph, especially on the track opium. Listen to time away from Andy stott then come back and listen to opium from christoph.

Got any more recommendations??

It's special indeed. The closest thing in vibe that I can think of is the Scorn album Evanescence.
