5ive Ximes Of Dust

About

5ive Ximes Of Dust emerged and receded in the fleeting passage of early 1980s America, leaving behind a magnetic series of six cassette releases that echo with the gravitational pull of minimal synth and noise, each tape a sedimentary layer in the tectonic shift of the underground scene, where Clayton Counts and Neil Keener carved out dark ambient soundscapes on labels like Stichting Stopcontact and Quick Stab Productions, and in self-released offerings like 5XOD (1982), they embraced the infinite potential of independent production, while The Black Tape (1984) remains a resonant artifact, capturing their early exploration of drone in long, sustained tracks that intertwine with the sonic threads of contemporaries Pseudo Code and Machines At Last, their music a harmonic convergence in the continuum of experimental sound, a whisper in the geological time of avant-garde electronic art.
