“mass-market” reissue of a fantastic july 2003 cdr by antony milton, a highly prolific artist with scads of releases on his pseudo-arcana label as well as wire bridge, foxglove, pink skulls, humbug, apoplexy, and celebrate-psi-phenomenon. this disc is anthony working in “sound art” mode; some it sounds like a cassette-bound rafael toral, other recordings inhabit a distant morricone-esque space, while others still come across a tape-hiss laden “cinema pour l’oreille” of ghost-voices and scraped string noise. highly evocative...

last visible dog press release...

antony milton is one of the new important voices to appear from new zealand in the wake of the dead c and the mid-90's 'free noise' scene. milton is at all times an intelligent interpreter of what's come in the last two decades--this is after all the same islands that brought us xpressway records and the clean.

nether dawn is arguably milton's take on free noise, though it feels less abstract (and off-putting) than the likes of handful of dust and flies inside the sun, utilizing instead a warm, broken drone not unlike 'wreck small speakers on expensive stereos" (ajax); that is to say, this is a more mellow, intimate drone experience for one and guest. there may also be a hint of influence from finish collaborator uton (who is the modern master of shortwave-drone-bliss.)

"slow motion atmospheric improvised electric drone 'blues' recorded after midnight in the midst of winter. the nether dawn is the newest of antony milton's solo projects. electronics and field recordings (of rain swept streets) mix with 'gestural' instrumentation and amp rumble. evening music."

march 2008 release ; new music from antony “a.m.” milton (with a little help from james “sandoz lab technicians” kirk) under his nether dawn guise ... five unique bedroom guitar / drum takes (coming across almost as a less-orchestrated version of some of stefan “pumice” neville’s recent work) then an awesome near-20-minute live vocal-phantasm & guitar-burn cut (the title track & the sound-sample) ...

the nether dawn - "long shadow of a dream"

the nether dawn is arguably the most narcotic, most ethereal of the many guises of the ever-prolific and talented antony milton. for the unfamiliar few, milton runs the sainted pseudoarcana label out of his native new zealand and records as myrtu!, a.m., paintings of windows, clay man in the well, swagger jack and as a member of claypipe, with throats as fine as needles, the stumps, glory fckn sun and more. running through all of his projects is something of a dreamlike, nostalgic delirium that is concretized and distilled on "long shadow of a dream."

the recordings on "long shadow of a dream" date from 2004-2006. despite this temporal span they seem like they've emerged organically from the same eternal, humming tapestry of sound. the album's final track is, unquestionably, its apex and it contains what are perhaps the most soul-baring, cathartic moments which milton has committed to tape. here, antony's vision becomes nearly visible in its mammoth totality - howling whisps of feedback, billows of keyboard and loops conjoin with voice and throat in ecstatic communion. the aural landscape of milton's nether dawn will utterly entrance and beguile you and, in the end, it will surely devour you whole.
