Improvisational heavyweight Bryan Day and cohort Jay Kreimer create one hell of a racket on “Land Tracts,” an ultra-limited CD-R on Albuquerque's Featherspines imprint. Day is a rather prolific improviser, who also records as Shelf Life and Eloi, and his collaborations with other likeminded souls are great in number. “Land Tracts” finds Day and Kreimer using and abusing a variety of homemade percussion instruments and electronic gadgets in an attempt to provide a soundtrack for the apocalypse. Terrifying, wordless vocals punctuate the music, amplifying the weirdness factor. “Land Tracts” is the sound of a thousand metallic beasts roaring, howling and shreiking as they tear apart this fragile world. These two improvisers seem to revel in the creation of such fright-inspiring sounds. Their laughter can even be heard during the second half of the program, illuminating the mirth with which they unleash destruction. I guess the old saying “if you can't beat them, join them” applies here: laugh along with Seeded Plain... ...laugh all the way to your own bitter end. 8/10 -- Bryon Hayes (24 June, 2009)
