The Scribbler (CSR62CD)

by Shinjuku Thief

Saffron Robe Lost track of this artist although I really enjoyed the Haven and Hunter parts of the Witch Trilogy. This album is from the same period and just as good.

hello swirl Programmatic music for "The Trial" and key themes in Kafka's life. This album includes a film collage well worth seeing.

'The Scribbler' is a good album on its own, but the dizzying anxiety, bizarre situations, and constant uncertainty and confusion of our dear Joseph K in the text does not always come through in Shinjuku Thief's album the way I've experienced while reading "The Trial" and many of Kafka's other works.

neur0dancer digital version also contains an mpg file, playtime around 11:34. Low resolution, tho.*1992 nostalgia*

about

Reissue of the 1992 classic by this Australian genius, originally released in an edition of 500 copies (Dorobo). Occasional bursts of factory noise, industrial rumblings and disembodied German voices form the backdrop to a minimalist reworking of Kafka's "The Trial." An album of dense cinematic atmospheres and orchestral instrumentation. 'The Scribbler' has been digitally remastered and is enhanced with a series of video clips constructed by Richard Grant (I+T=R), incorporating both new material together with the original images prepared for "The Scribbler" live show.

Untitled Navigations Revisited
by Nordvargr

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Scribbler (CSR62CD)”

After nukes devour populations and environs some places still intact look beautifully abandoned as Chernobyl, it may have the feeling of Nordvargr's "Untitled Navigations Revisited". It does create an ambience like long-abandoned arcades (RIP Benjamin) and a lost world mapped onto ours. hello swirl
