Babaa & Scheibel=69 - Corpses as Bedmates (1984)



Track 1: Aacha
The intro to this tracks brings a certain 'I was recorded in an abandoned factory while I was on copious amount of drugs' vibe with it, and I am so here for it. Well, it is not just the intro, in fact, the entire song is like that, and it feels significantly shorter than it actually is. The far off vocals distorted with echos while metal loudly clangs to the floor is awesome. These are my kind of tunes.

Track 2: Babaa & Scheibel = 69
Instantly intense music, indiscernible screaming/laughing in what sounds like an abandoned torture facility. I absolutely adore this vibe. I have no clue what instruments those even are at this point, everything warps together so nicely. It is absolute chaos but I fuck with it.

Track 3: The Beasties
More a calm acoustic vibe. This song also feels more sad. It feels just sad and angry. The vocals are great and the repeating beat absolutely lovely. The harmonizations round this track off quite well, I was not aware Bob Drake, Susanne Lewis, and Karen Sheridan could harmonize this well to be honest.

Track 4: Inconceivable Mansion
Bass and brain scratching vocal delivery with ghostly 'wooo's in the background. Not much to say about this track to be completely honest.

Track 5: Willow Tree
This is one of my favorite tracks ever made to be honest. The crashy sound, the loud piercing vocals, the loud horn-like sound (almost typed horn-y, but that would have been different.), the whispering. It just feels incredibly eerie and almost wrong, in some weird way.

Track 6: Valentine
Yet another major banger. I love the false-ish strings, the weird other strings, the bubbly sound, the bell-like noise, and how it all just loops and keeps piling up on top of itself. The vocals in this feels more computery here, it is lovely. The only time when they sound humanoid is when the vocals are absolutely tweaking out. I love how this all just ties together so well.

Track 7: Knife
Slow bass intro, massive change compared to every other track so far. It starts incredibly barebones in general. But more noises keep being added in a rhythm, and it all just feels great. The vocals sound absolutely dead, and I love that here. It is such a calm and soothing chaos, really snaps you back into reality.

Track 8: Little Camus
Bells and whistles immediately come out on this track. And it suddenly gets intense at the end.

Track 9: Know Not
Immediately feels a lot more simplistic than other tracks, but when the vocals kick in it suddenly gains that weirdness I absolutely love again. The guitar cutting through the background and the constant humming work together lovely over what sounds like looped beaking glass. Good start, good ending. Banging track.
All things considered this album is quite rad, it feels almost as if it goes to shit halfway through, but then it climbs back up out of that pit ad reaches higher heights than it had previously. The vocals are what hooked me, and I am so glad they did.
