750 Pound Ingot

from Big Enough to Know by Sleet

/

about

A pretty synth shimmer starts the piece, supported by the lack of pattern known only to Sleet, and at 1m in a wagging, insistent pattern comes out across the face of every drum, and psychedelic cloth floats in the stiff breezes, far up into the sky. Right before 3m a new tough hombre comes riding into town, followed by what you could call law and order, if you was somewhat flexible about certain things, like the whipsawing synth fragments whipping over the wall. By 4.5m I give up the first taste of a repeated treble bass pattern, a simple descending phrase, and delicate chords chime over the bass pattern. Another guitar hits all the metal notes possible under it all, while the bass races the sticks over the drums. Something specific comes out of the bass, insisting until Thom slaps back to the two-step after the 8m point, and then soon swims upstream into rivulets of strums and scraped thumbs. By 10m it’s back to the simple descent. It goes all coastal at 12m in, simmering down to a drumbeat of many colors, suddenly pierced by a guitar, impudently inserted, and then out busts the pattern again. Things get rhapsodic, then stretch out in length, and collapse back into the ingot pattern. 15m in a bopping bass beat pops out, goes low, is waved by psychedelia, breaks down, goes classical, shadowed by shimmers full frontal glittering, with Sleet chiming that cymbal, and I put a guitar variation in somewhere around 17m or so. It goes out Sleet style, with endless variations adorned by beauty and destruction.
