Sabbatical Records' in-house engineer and co-conspirator, Marcus Cook nee hard-wired ohm freak, Default Jamerson - gets his due release on the local label with Stable Government and Adequate Sanitation. Having studio-produced Sabbatical's scene-breaking Maximum Awesome and Mof Rah Far Far issues - as well as playing many a label-organised bill, Cook is in part responsible for the growing, sub-surge of interest in Melbourne for post-noise, live analogue performance of late. Like a mother-loaded pay off for duties rendered to the cause, then, it is fitting and just that his own record is so good; so clearly illustrative of the pleasures of immolation-by-tone.
Stable Government and Adequate Sanitation is one track, twenty minutes in duration, phasing slowly and heavily like a pendulum in thickener. Clouds of machine tone mix in slow motion as shapeless gases burning-off in mushroom explosions. There's an exhilirating feeling of the music having no edges - of it spreading - and of it living on in perpetuity after the closing fade-out. Ambient, but not in Eno's sense - in which listeners are made aware of time's materiality - Default Jamerson's project is all the more troubling / rewarding in the way it seems to render time immaterial, to unravel it completely. Totally inured and totally cool.
