MENSTRUAL CH1NESE DRE4M - S/T (2005)

Music both for and of cramps, bed-spins, nausea and digestive mayhem. A one-off side project of the ever-prolific Mr. J. Ferraro, this drone and loop dreamstuff has the strength to both sooth and unsettle. Dreams of menstrual blood, some people believe, bring good fortune and jubilance to one's life. Menstrual dreams themselves, however, can feel like slow death. Either way, this album provides a churning, grinding, meditative and even ritualistic kind of salve.
