Vestigial Digital by Carya Amara
Recorded between 1995 and 1998, Vestigial Digital kick-started Earthrid Records in 2001 with raw, uncompromising digital music that was neither sterile nor glitch – but something more visceral. The music on Vestigial Digital was made using software to transform natural and unnatural sounds. No conventional synthesisers (hardware or software) were used.
“A sense of connectedness with the world that is rarely found in electronic and tape works generally. And, amongst all the anger (or is it angst?), there is evidence of an altogether wicked sense of humor at play” – Computer Music Journal
“A secret harmony, a reckless boldness and unconcern for established order, that I have found quite intriguing. Check it out.“ – Erebus
“There are no songs here in any traditional sense… The group has completely done away with… everything that music normally is… the result is ultimately damn near unlistenable” – Splendid
“As atmospheric as hell… pioneering stuff indeed” – Modern Dance
“A twenty-first century concept album, and one well worth listening to. The juxtaposition of distorted jangling voices and smooth electronic bluster is both intriguing and challenging.” – Flux Europa
“A trip well worth taking with an end that is open but positive! Wow!” – Yeah I Know It Sucks
“The effect is at first just plain bizarre, but on extended listening becomes intriguing, disturbing and even at times moving… Vestigial Digital is definitely an experience to live through” – The Violet Apple
