Lustmord - Album: The Place Where The Black Stars Hang

While his days are spent working on sound design for Hollywood scores by Graeme Revell, sound designer Brian Williams records experimental ambience and dark space music as Lustmord. His recordings have been embraced by a variety of ambient fans, ranging from the '70s traditionalists at the Hearts of Space label to the ambient-techno experimentalists at Plug Research. Born and raised in Wales, Williams first performed as Lustmord in 1980 as a series of unannounced "support slots" at larger gigs, with Williams simply leaping onstage and performing until security became aware of the situation. Though understandably brief, the rock terrorism gained Williams contact with like minds in the proto-industrial scene including SPK and Throbbing Gristle.



The Place Where the Black Stars Hang is a huge, atmospheric effort with dark overtones and satanic dirges. This music is about as dark as it gets. The entire soundscape is electronic. Williams builds on the drone with atmospheric effects and wild synth washes. The soundscape is dense and foggy and the sound design is flawless. There are no holes or gaps in this layout. The disc is set up as one long (75 minutes and 48 seconds) track with five distinct sections. Williams builds the atmospheres upon each other as they ebb and flow. This dark minimalism will appeal to fans of Jeff Greinke, Alio Die, Richard Bone, Max Corbacho, Pete Namlook, and Oöphoi. In dark ambient circles it is essential. For e-music fans it is important.

* BIG file but worth your time if you like dark/ ambient/ soundscapes.
You will not be disappointed! :)

Coution:

Made this video with Windows Movie Maker 512/kBit/s for a broadband connection

and the Bitrate: 128 / Frequenz: 44 100

But think it's actually quite good to listen.

@DarkoEddie is the sound quality in this video good in comparison with the original source?

[DarkoEddie]

@beahuty

closed my eyes after twenty minutes and was transported to a dark land. An asteroid, more specfically. This miniscule pebble, no bigger than our moon, but nearly pitch black. This asteroid was floating in the cold, empty expanse of space between galaxies. This asteroid had a temple-city on it.

This explains the Strange Sounds being reported across the globe!
