More oddball audio torture from the folks at Public Eyesore, Rheuma is the latest release from Shelf Life, which is the project helmed by label honcho Bryan Day that also features Alex Boardman, Joseph Jaros, and Andrew Perdue . Four long tracks, each one containing plenty of bizarro sound effects, electronics, muffled bass rumbles, and guitar noises, Rheuma ultimately comes across as some sort of strange meeting between Robert Fripp's 'Frippertronics' and early Tangerine Dream, except not nearly as interesting. At times ominous and eerie (especially track # 2), for the most part 70 minutes of this type of thing just meanders way too much, and the claustrophobic use of blips, bleeps, clinks, clanks, and wooshes has little if any focus. Still, there's likely an audience for this sort of nightmarish vision, so if your taste runs towards the avant-garde/noise/electronic side of things, by all means check this one out.
