Nocturne Concrete is a mostly Seattle specific compilation consisting of
ambient, experimental, gothic and noise artists. The remaining bands hail from
places such as San Francisco and Pittsburgh, but the majority of the music is
derived from home grown artists. The music is tracked in such a way that there
is a proper composite flow from track to track and from genre to genre to avoid
any nasty sequence flow problems. The net result is a compilation that changes
moods like the ebb and flow of the tides, rising and falling several times
throughout it's entirety. One thing however remains constant, the music always
remain low key and sober, never once rising above a beat level which is to be
expected from a compilation which does not contain and dance industrial tracks.
If you are into artists on Cold Meat Industry or Staalplat then you might be
interested in most of the artists present because of their dark brooding and
midevil nature, and should consider acquiring a copy for yourself.
