Synopsis

Album Description

This is Bill Horist's second release for Unit Circle Rekkids. His first, Soylent Radio, was an amazing exploration of sonic weirdness translated through wild guitar manipulations. Bill's style has certainly grown and his abilities have expanded in the three years since Soylent. Bill takes his patented guitar manipulations technique and expands his palette into new soundscapes and more rhythmic and textural possibilities.

CD Reviews

The future of the electric guitar?

08/30/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Seattle prepared guitar maven Bill Horist has hit his stride on his second release. With a battered Teisco, an arsenal of rack effects and stomp boxes, and a bizarre assortment of metal and wooden objects, surgical instruments and cymbals Horist creates lush percussive and droning soundscapes, 11 of which have been documented on this CD. Songs From The Nerve Wheel will certainly challenge many listeners' definitions of what constitutes music, but that doesn't mean that these atonal and microtonal explorations are the work of a cool snobbish aesthete. In fact, Horist brings a refreshing amount of enthusiasm to his music, and it shows. While no recording could possibly capture the visual element of Mr. Horist molesting his guitar and pedals, the sounds captured on this disc stand on their own quite well. This CD is challenging, rewarding listening, and is well worth picking up."

Buy this.

"I really love music. Sometimes good music makes me freak out (and crash my car for example). Of my 400-500 CDs, Songs from the Nerve Wheel is in my top 10 or 5. This CD is so good, I just have to turn it off sometimes, because I feel like I'm not ready for it yet. Plus, if you get the chance, see Bill Horist in concert. It's amazing."
