about

Originally released in 1997 on Trance Syndicate Records out of Austin, Tx.

Review from Austin Chronicle:

Somebody open lunar hatch number nine and tell Ken Gibson to get in here. In space, no one can hear you scream, so Gibson's been banging on the outside of the ship and sending these terrifying echoes and shrieks down the oval hollow decks below. Jesus, what a racket -- and it's creepy as shit. Take the lead-off song and title track from the Furry Things' latest album, Frequent Lunacy, which at 30 minutes is 13 shorter than the group's hedphones "EP" from earlier this year: Trebly beats underwritten by wind-tunnel voices, siren sounds, and occasionally Gibson's guitar. "Burn For" sounds like an oxygen fire raging in the decompression chamber, before the ambient dub of "Luxate" douses it and the space aria "Similar Place" puts in a faint call for help from ELO. Things are pretty quiet by the time the fifth and final space odyssey, "Angel Warm and Cold," floats by, and by this time Austin's former feedback kings are lost in space. Grounded perhaps only by an insistent bassline, "Warm & the Cold Electrified Angel," the lead-off pulse on Gibson's solo project, The Confused Designer, is a little more down-to-earth -- like echoes and shrieks in the sewer system. Drums `n' bass beats gush down said water tunnels, sweeping along everything in their path, like the annoying "Undeformed Allusions." Fortunately, other D&B workouts like "Heartbeat of a Dog," which lives up to its provocative title, work much better. "Sand Bubbles" is a familiar, sand-melting atomic blast first glimpsed on one of Trance Syndicate's The Kahanek Incident series, and helps distinguish Gibson's solo project as ample reason to strike out on his own. Extreme studio smarts will prompt that sort of thing. Reel him in, Hal, and tell him to stop screaming and get back in the studio.
