This is a solo recording from Harm Stryker's Kelly Nourse, taken from a live performance delivered through a cheap FM transmitter so that the audience could only experience the piece through personal headsets and such. The song, titled "A Most Beautiful Place", runs just about 22 minutes of minimal experimental noise that's a little rawer and more persistent than Harm Stryker's usual fare. The opening run begins with some slowed down samples that sound like a hip-hop vocal track or something. Shuffling textures then start to creep into the foreground for a few minutes before a mildly distorted surge begins to overtake the foreground. Around five minutes in there are some distant samples that are harder to decipher, and this abstract approach is more interesting than the hip-hop type of stuff that started the piece. The distorted churn that makes up the core of this area continues along a repetitious path that slowly changes in tone very subtly over the next several minutes, to the point where you barely even notice that changes are taking place. It's not until much later, near the 17-minute mark, that some strange melodic textures start to seep in quite sparsely – adding a nice little hint of atmosphere without taking things too far or sticking around for too long. On occasion it sounds like there's more detail going on underneath the surface, but it's hard to be sure, it could all be some sort of audio illusion. The CD-R comes secured inside of a nice little handmade matte brown sleeve with a metal pin. There's some sort of two-color print on the front and a bit of text information stamped onto the back, so it's simple yet quite nice in appearance. Not bad overall. The sound quality could stand to be a little louder or clearer, but that's nothing that really detracts from making it an effective listen, especially considering that it's a live performance piece. Only 21 copies exist, so… don't sleep on it if you're interested.

It feels a little odd writing Harm Stryker in this review as functionally, this 3" CDR based EP might as well have The Rita stamped across the front of it. Admittedly this would have been the calmest I have ever heard the Vancouver, BC giallo worshipper spit it out but all the same a dead ringer for his brand of monolithic noise cum public utility.

"A Most Beautiful Place" starts off with a muted warbled old man hrrmf exaltation take on what sounds like some old school hip hop recorded from across the ocean with a spattering of drum machine hits added over top to break it up a little. Before you can get a handle on what the fuck is going on the spigot is opened and a seemingly endless stream of woolly noise wraps you up like deep fried fish in month old escort classifieds. It could be purely digital, it could be the world through an octaver, who knows. What I can say is that I like it and after having it fill in the gaps for a few I-hate-going-to-work bus rides, it has stoked my desire to pull out Troniks' The Rita CD to kill my morning transit tomorrow. Strange how it takes one act to make you fully appreciate another.

Definitely not what you would expect from Harm Stryker as it all but lacks cerebral suprises but what it lacks in whiz bang it makes up for by leaving the hell alone when you have your grin face on. Good luck finding it (only 21 copies or some crap like that).
