LAST DAYS OF MAY
Inner System Blues (Squealer Music)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

Cool, spooky instrumental jams with throbbing bass lines and spacey guitar leads punctuated by artificial jungle noises and high-pitched squeals. The percussive section ranges from everything from a simple drum kit to bongos to something that sounds like sealed tin cans being beat on by pencils, while background washes of static and things being dropped atonally add just the right element of freakishness to the mix. The whole project was apparently recorded live somewhere - doesn't say when or where, but it sounds like it would have been a cool performance to attend. Despite being a live recording, the overall quality is exceptionally crisp and clean without losing any of the free spiritedness that comes with a good live show.
