Human Flesh

About

Belgium's Human Flesh operated in spectral realms from 1984 to 1989, weaving dark ambient textures through analog synth layers. An enigmatic project, its core members—Cor Gout and Alain Neffe—remain shadowy figures, their roles obscured in the mists of time. The project's work found a home on cassette, a fitting medium for their atmospheric soundscapes and textural experimentation. The 1985 vinyl release, "The 35th Human Attempt," on Insane Music, stands as a significant artifact, a skeletal monument to their haunting melodies. Other releases, such as "Life In Reverse / Meditation" (1989) on Insane Music and "Life in Reverse" on Ladd Frith, further explore the ambient dimensions, each piece a nocturnal journey through analog warmth. Human Flesh shared a scene with experimental contemporaries like Pseudo Code and Bene Gesserit, creating a network of labels that valued the austere and spectral. Their work remains precise, a testament to a distinct Belgian imprint on the dark ambient landscape.
