The genre known as drone has increasingly become interesting
to me, but somehow I haven't been able to unlock this album yet. Sunn
0))) is an Earth tribute band. That should sum it up for some of you.
For the rest of you scratching your heads, Earth was a two man group who's
endless instrumental music consisted entirely of guitar and bass feedback.
This made for some truly hibernation-inducing ambient.
Production-wise, 00 Void is much heavier than
the likes of Earth's 2 but somehow has less impact. There's something
about Earth's uniform amorphousness and lack of any direction that somehow
is superior to Sunn 0)))'s uniform amorphousness and lack of any direction.
Go figure.
Much like Earth, Sunn 0))) seems like the kind of
album you throw on not to actively listen to, but rather be affected by.
It's kind of like those CDs of ocean waves they sell at holistic healing
stores. Also like the ocean wave CD, I can't imagine why you would need
more than one such album in your collection. If you're curious, I'd say
go for Earth. If you're reading this and are shaking your head, thinking,
"dude, you don't get it," then you should probably log off and
get yourself down to the nearest independent record store.
