Cigma6 - Growth Resumed On The Work - Prime #107

A bit of history for those uninformed souls. The Growth is back after a long hiatus, we have changed our name from Cancerous Growth to Cigma6, & started recording again, actually started up again a while back with some material Phinney sent Jackson to work on in which he completed one piece. More to come on that in the future. Not familiar with the Growth, then look here & read through the list of releases, tapes were released on Harsh Reality Music, Xkurzhen Sound, Audiofile, Sound Of Pig, Alternate Media, Fuck M All Discs, Haltapes, Merzbows ZSF Product label, a collab with AMK (White Hand) & worked as Phinney, Jackson, McGee - Ditch release. A track appeared on the Endless Grindstone CD released by K.O. City Studio as well as numerous cassette compilations throughout the tape underground. The duo also recorded some collab works as Mental Anguish, Nomuzic & Cephalic Index, & Imbroglio. Mike also played on the Mental Anguish - NoMuzic release "Boid iz da Woid" & was a member of the defunct space rock outfit Viktimized Karcass. He also recorded back in the day as Cephalic Index, Tinnitus, Isolation etc. Some of this material is available through Harsh Reality & PrimeCuts Recordings.

Review:

Cigma6 - Growth Resumed On The Work

As Cigma6 (named after one of the first incarnations of Pink Floyd?), Jackson
goes back even further, as it's his ongoing collaboration with Chris Phinney,
also known as Mental Anguish. They worked together before as Cancerous Growth
and Viktimized Karcass. Like others in this area of US underground music (Hal
McGee, Alien Plantescapes) they love psychedelic music. Here they are physically
together in two piece and virtually in an other. When together they have a bunch
of moog synthesizers and electronics and freak out is the theme of the day. In a
rather free, again, play of synthesizers they jam around with sounds dropping in
and out, notes being bent and space is the place. Nice, perhaps, but here goes:
playing it yourself is probably more fun. This sort of music could perhaps be
better enjoyed with all the right chemical substances. The shortest of the
three, the virtual assembled 'Fraught With You', with its menacing, mechanical
sounds is the best of the three.
