about

"And I understood then that love, the chronic need to link the futilities of life to the Infinite, is nothing more than the desire to be alone."
Charles MacLean, "The Watcher", 1982


"Loaded with mega acid-trip electro psych genre-mash... a blast of brutal mutant electronica and weird genre splicing as it drifts from fuzzy, glitched out minimalist synthesizer drones to weird lopsided beats accomapnied by ferocious Russian ranting, to crushing digital blastbeats and somber piano lines. Womba uses alot of vocal cutup, samples, and drunk cheerleader rants to add a thick veneer of paranoia to everything, and the album gradually takes on a hypnotic, trance inducing vibe as you're relentlessly hammered with their noisy electronic collage and nightmarish voices. But then Womba takes another left turn with brief passages of woozy indie-pop, sloppy disembodied proto-metal riffing, ambient post-rock, and other unexpected weirdness before shifting back to their bizarre nightmare electronica. We're reminded of a much weirder, much more textured take on the loop heavy scum-psych-trance of Dead Husbands... Political techno-noisecore-cheersquad-industrial-deathfunk-pop cutup? This is pretty difficult to describe, but it rules. Way recommended to fans of aggro mutant electronica and superweird post-rock forms. Like the other R.A.I.G. CDs The 27th Baku Commissar is packaged in this really cool, very unqiue thick cardboard case with silkscreened, handassembled printing and cover art." Review by Crucial Blast (USA) (July 2006).

WOMBA Москва, Russian Federation

WOMBA is a solo project by Tikhon S. Kubov, active since 1995. It evolved from home manipulation with tapes, loops, samples, found sounds, various electronic devices and effects. First three WOMBA albums were released on R.A.I.G. label from 2004 to 2012. Later records consisted of oneiric sound-collages and improvised performances with heavy emphasis on absurd, psychotic and incidental. ... more
