4.0 out of 5 stars
..., Sep 8 2004
By Jonathan S. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Telegraphs In Negative/Mouths (Audio CD)
The title aforementioned is the feeling I got from this album...emptiness. A reviewer on a UK site put it very aptly by saying this album is "all your beautiful memories and loves washed up in front of you only to wash away forever," or something like that. This album will drain you if you let it. On first listen you might not know what to think, because there simply isn't that much "music" on here. No real movements. Some songs are a single movement, some are nothing at all really.So what is it exactly? Well...I'm not really sure. I kind of wanted to know what this collective group (comprised of members of hangedup, godspeed, fly pan am, and someothers(?)) was thinking while making this, or how they did it exactly. They do play things, but it barely has any form, but it's still cooridinated, which is really almost paradoxical. The tracks are very rarely sweet and are usually the worst/confusing/vacuous parts of your life put into musical form. It's almost like the imagery in a silent hill game but for your ears, which if you know what I'm talking about this is quite a thing to experience.
However, this is actually a very difficult album to listen to. One that you literally HAVE to grow accustomed to, because you probably won't really like it that much. I didn't. But after a second listen I was starting to GET it, and when you finally start to get it everything seems to have a bit more of a place. This is by no means a godspeed record, it's nothing close to that. I've heard comparisons drawn to f#a# but this is much more subtle and ambient. But I do feel like f#a# had much more of a purpose, because it does have movements and crescendos. But at the same time this emptiness is what is so attractive about these apparent telegraphs in negative.
On a side note, this cd has some of the coolest packaging I've ever seen. It's almost worth buying the album for this reason alone, I really mean it. It's damn haunting, and as esoteric as you can get. And naturally the track names put question marks in your head. Oh, and don't buy this from fatcat (record co.) if you're not in UK, it's damn expensive.

Random humans scuffling about., Jun 23 2007

This review is from: Telegraphs In Negative/Mouths (Audio CD)
I purchased "Telegraphs in Negative" and "Sings Reign" together.Being from the 'post-rock' genre and having members from GYBE, I had very little fear that this would be a bad purchase. And I was right.
As I describe in my review of "Sings Reign", it's haunting, calming and inspiring... and to be perfectly honest I would probably rate these albums higher than most Godspeed albums (as well as Mogwai, ASMZ, etc) This record I don't like QUITE as much as "Sings Reign", but only by a narrow margin. This is a double disc album, providing 90 minutes of nightmarish dreamscapes... it is even MORE experimental than "Sings Reign" (the addition of more random human scuffling about) and you can almost sense how much more the band members are strung out or intoxicated or whatever. (If you read a blurb about these records, it is stated that they isolated themselves in remote locations with very little contact with the outside world and would stay awake for long periods of time)
In any case, I find both of Fire to Flames' records to be amazing bodies of work. Granted it is not the type of music for everyone. But whether listening to it intensely or just playing in the background... I think it will have a lasting effect on you.
A great addition for any ambient/experimental/post-rock collection.

Kill Fatigue Frequencies, Sep 20 2010

This review is from: Telegraphs In Negative/Mouths (Audio CD)
This is my review lifted from RateYourMusic:"It's not about melodies.
You have to approach this album with a different frame of mind. You can't have any expectations (that one might conceive from knowing the members' other work) if this is your first listen to SFTF. Just sit back, and take it all in.
This is about appreciating sound. Appreciating just simply the timbre of the different instruments...the resonance of the notes and miscellaneous objects that come into play. It's about recognizing patterns & techniques, and trying to grasp what idea the band is trying bring across, or what emotion (or lack of emotion) they're trying to portray.
Yes, there are a few moments in the album which are quite beautifully constructed and have melodies which are easier to follow, but they only make up a small percentage of the album (which is why I think the overall intention of the band was to provide you with a set of experiences). So while most of the material is simpler...either repetitive
or just spaced/thinly abstract, that doesn't mean it's just background music or even noise (at points). This album is most certainly not flat, it's quite atmospheric (I know, a cliche term). If you're in the right mood, this album can very much-so affect you. On my 2nd or 3rd listen, I wasn't depressed or anything, but I was like empty-headed - there wasn't anything on my mind. I had this blaring pretty loud, it was dim, and there were a few moments where I just closed my eyes and felt like I was in a completely different environment.
The recording method/production really make this album what it is. You get a very natural vibe from it, and it doesn't seem to have any forced texture or anything.
I don't believe that they wrote this album to have a musical concept - sure, it has a fairly consistent dark and desolate feel, but the only concept I get from it is simply how you should consider and appreciate this album."
