Infant Mortality Rate - PUER AETERNIS
1998
43 MINUTES
Infant Mortality Rate's first CD and we still have copies available.
Back then, an enthusiastic IMR made the effort to get reviews and below are some excerpts:
Chris Kemmerer on houston.sidewalk.com wrote, sometime in 1998...
"Houston bands, no lie, spawn some of the weirdest noise on the planet. Infant Mortality Rate supports this rash statement with a CD of industrial noise, sonic experimentation and occasional great beauty.... You'll need an appreciation for envelope-pushing and loud grinding noises or you'll leave the room immediately, but we love it all, ... the international noise underground will buy every copy and beg for more."
The moon unit wrote, in Dead Angel #34 (11/98)...
"... While IMR isn't exactly breaking new ground here by any means, his means of manipulating stacks of tapes is generally more interesting, and certainly more humorous, than the work of most of the splice 'n dice contingent. Plus he does have the exquisite good taste to shovel on lots of angels in the artwork. I say it's worth investigating...."
And in Splendid Ezine (11-Aug-1999), George Zaehorae wrote...
"... Puer AEternis deserves your attention; it may be easy to create this sort of sound-art, but it's hard to make it interesting, which is where Infant Mortality Rate succeeds. When the voices in your head get tired of talking, this disc makes a perfect substitute."
Annnd, you can listen to a sample track right here:
