Mute Records выпустили в конце августа эмбиент-антологию Бойда Райса/Non Terra Incognita: Ambient Works 1975-Present.

А сегодня граждане из Pitchforkmedia написали про сие неплохое ревью

What is more interesting about Boyd Rice: His public image as a fetishist for totalitarian oppression, Satanism, Barbie dolls and the Brady Bunch or the music he's made as Non-- hemophiliac synth atmospherics, cauldron-boiled spells of guitar feedback, and vinyl-loop dissections? Rice's typical media coverage-- layouts of him as a goth-noisenik redeemer prowling the alleyways-- suggests the former. Even without his image, Rice still makes music that can follow you home and lurk in a shadow outside your bedroom window.

. . .

The kitsch isn't out of place here, considering that Rice respects Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, who wore a cloth cap with horns like a trick-or-treater and even cut a few lounge piano records back in the day. The same sensibility drives "Immolation of Man", where a sample of a tacky, prairie-grown country guitar tune is unevenly looped into complete nuisance, along with an untitled track of an Old West player piano collapsing into an autistic fit. Not for the meek.

Это именно то, что нужно сейчас. Easy Listening for the Iron Age.
