Water Rose Above The Head vinyl

First surfacing via a glut of tape releases on the Hospital Productions label, the superbly monikered and anonymous Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement was accompanied by the sort of supposed back story that read like an established producer with the capacity for spinning luridly imaginative yarns. With their identity still under wraps, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement resurfaces on the fledgling Bed Of Nails label run by Hospital boss Dominick Fernow. Much like the Blackest Ever Black issue earlier this year, Water Rose Above The Head pairs together two long form productions of macabre techno built from the DNA of field recordings and found sounds. It also wins the prize for track titles of the week with two absolute pearlers of GCSE level creative writing. Please note that both tracks play at 33rpm despite the centre-labels indicating otherwise!
