This Is What I Hear When You Talk is the work of Dan Fox, who is also the man behind Inner Demons Records and the projects Loss, Fail, and a host of others. This is from the side label Tinnitus Factory, which has the slogan, "If mental illness had a soundtrack." These discs are a bit different in that they are minimally packaged and focus on the emotion Fox is trying to evoke. The general formula of TIWIHWYT is to find an interesting sound and run with it, so let's see how this works with the emotional slant of these discs.

The manager in the cube near me has a noise generator because, I suppose, they think that their work is top secret (spoiler alert - it isn't). They could have saved themselves a lot of money on their cloak and dagger apparatus and just thrown this into the CD player. This is an interesting mix of high frequency whine and heavy bass rumble. This keeps shifting and is not quite as static as a lot of the TIWIHWYT material I have heard. Things start fading in and out, different sounds come to the forefront, and the overall effect is rather engaging. In short, pain never sounded so good.

This disc weighs in at 35 minutes and physical copies are limited to 6 copies (of course digital copies are unlimited and are only $1). Well worth getting. Maybe I should pick up an extra copy of this for the manager next door.....
