Trensmat Records : Every Noise Has A Note

Trensmat Records are an Irish based Independent Record Label who specialise in transmitting drone, noise, oscillations & grooves. Over the past three years they have released, to no little acclaim, 7"s from some of the most interesting artists operating in underground music such as Astral Social Club, Circle, Our Love will Destroy the World, Acid Mothers Temple, Bardo Pond, Heavy Winged, The Telescopes and many more.

They celebrate their 20th release with a twelve track compilation spanning some choice cuts from these first three years. All of the tracks were originally on very limited edition 7"s that have long since sold out.

It kicks off with the A side of Trensmat001, the seven and a half minute AMM meets Suicide groove of "DSM-IV Axis 1:307.46 (Night Terrors)" by the Telescopes which leads into the haze and burn of uber-distortion and grit that is "Be yourself" by White Hills.

Mugstar keep the pedal to the floor with 'Bethany heart star', a furious head tripping hybrid of speed freak out sonics welded to a frantic krautrock.

Finland's mighty masters of metallic hypno drone rock, Circle, ride a propulsive groove with "Vaahto", a throbbing and suspenseful, mantric, headbanging, minimalist metallic post-krautrock juggernaut.

The motorik groove becomes even more supreme via Area C's "Trick with a knife" where looped guitars slither and sway, constructing dark melodies in propulsive rhythms to a mesmerising krautrockscape.

Bardo Pond space things out with "Lord of Light" - a psychbliss epic version where guitars swirl and shimmer, drifting lazily across a gauzy sun dappled sonic sky.

The lush "Machines & Muscles" from Cave follows & builds with awesome grinding space rock riffage via warbly synth & flurries of percussive splatter. Heavy Winged take the sonic batton and run for the horizon via "Last Forever", a super saturated psychedelic space rock groove, relentless and throbbing and bathed in a haze of fuzzed out guitarnoise.

Astral Social Club provide some relative calm via the glistening "Ginnel", full of rich reverberant like technicolor cascades underpinned by wonkey mesmerizing rhythms.

Magnetize's "Noise to Signal" drops and captures the raw immediacy of interstellar transmissions crackling with the high energy of cosmic radiation filtered through a particle accelerator hotwired to an amplifier.

A live version of "Lonely Hearts" by The Shining Path shows a taste of what can happen when punks get psychedelic - melting minds and destroying speakers.

Finally things are eased down to a gentle landing with Cheval Sombre and Britta Philips mix of "Troubled Mind" which creates a bleary cloudy atmosphere which is brilliantly broken and carries along with a languid bluesy swagger.
