just found this community - and i first listened to this album earlier this year because until then i thought it was a rap record lol.

Supersilent is a Norwegian avant-garde-improvisational music group formed at Nattjazz in Bergen in 1997. The trio Veslefrekk was asked to play with electronic musician Helge "Deathprod" Stein. The fusion of the experimental jazz group with Sten's rumbling drones and noise was so successful that they united as Supersilent.

I'm a long time fan but I still can't get my head around the fact this was recorded between 1976 and 1978. Sounds like 2000s drum & bass in parts. Other songs from this album also surprise such as 'Horizontal Hold' which starts off like a doom metal version of Einstuerzende Neubauten, moves to a minimalist dub section, then a bit that reminds me of Japanese post-punk band P-Model, then a Captain Beefheart-esque guitar part, and so on. 'Twilight Furniture' may be my favourite track though. It has a hypnotic, tribal quality to it with cold, disjointed vocals. Like a really stripped back abstract Bauhaus.

"Voice Crack was a Swiss electronic free improvisation group. Formed in late 1972 by Andy Guhl and Norbert Möslang, Voice Crack were initially a free jazz duo. They began incorporating pre-recorded tape effects and live sound processing, and by 1983 they eliminated any normal instrumentation in favor of what they call "cracked everyday electronics:" Mundane objects such as "radios, turntables, transmitters, dictating machines" and other items are cracked open and manipulated to produce "new sounds using magnetic and radio waves in a complex system controlled by movements of their hands and by light. The resulting music - which consisted of various overlapping buzzes, clicks, drones and oscillations - has been described as, "Cascading magnetic waves arc across the sky as three-headed critters race and rummage through alien flora ... or at least that's what it sounds like."; and was favorably compared to some of John Cage's work"
