Orphx - Fragmentation 4LP (Hospital Productions: HOS655)
 |
Fragmentation was the third full-length album from Orphx, originally released in 1996 on the legendary Malignant Records label (their words, not mine). Rich Oddie, Christina Sealey, and Aron West had founded the project three years earlier, creating pitch black noisescapes inspired by early industrial music and the extreme fringes of metal. By 1996, West had departed to focus on his absurdist noise project Tropism, while Oddie and Sealey began to push Orphx in a more rhythmic direction. Cassette releases on their own Xcreteria imprint (reissued by Hospital Productions and Mannequin Records in 2017) quickly attracted the attention of Malignant, who offered to release the next album. fFagmentation was made using the same basic tools as the early cassettes: contact microphones, scrap metal, effects pedals, feedback circuits, a drum machine, a couple of synths, and location recordings and found sounds manipulated by Sealey on reel to reel machines and an 8-bit sampler.
While early orphx recordings were primarily improvised direct to tape, this album places much greater emphasis on carefully constructed layers of sound, shaping their improvisational energy into powerful compositions that combines death industrial atmospheres and brutal power electronics with relentless, hypnotic percussion. Themes of illness, infection, and psychopathology dominate the album but are intertwined with references to transcendence, suggesting a desperate search for salvation in the midst of social / psychological disintegration.
The 'Fragmentation' reissue on Hospital Productions includes the original album, now remastered by Joshua Eustis (telefon tel aviv), and over an hour of additional rarities and previously unreleased recordings. This includes rare compilation tracks, selections from the obsession and progress cassette (bloodlust!, 1996), the final moments cassette (third Force / isolation, 1997), and live recordings from 1995 and 1996.
One of the only acts from the 90’s to originate in the industrial underground, cross over into the rhythmic noise enclave of the early 2000s and attain a leadership role in the contemporary live techno apparatus with total authenticity.
4xLP packaged in a deluxe wide spine jacket with individual disco sleeves for each record with multiple metallic ink printing. edition of 290 copies on clear vinyl.
