"No Solace" is an eclectic collection of often obtuse or disjointed material by
David Graham recording under the name of Requiem. At times, much of the
material presented on this album is underproduced, but that seems to be on
purpose. Many of the musical elements used to compose the varied compositions
are sonically very dirty, so it seems appropriate that a bad dubbed radio
call-in sample still contains the hiss and hum from the cassette from which it
was sampled. The album consists entirely of instrumentals, strung together
samples and tape cut-up style juxtaposition which brings to mind many of the
early Industrial tenets. Certainly David Graham evokes many of the classic
Experimental styles as well, including test tones, chord progressions, and
back-masked samples. If you enjoy bands like Illusion of Safety then
Requiem is for you.
