Founder of the Sacred Noise label that first exposed us to Magwheels and Cold Electric Fire, Jason Crumer has a number of projects of his own that are not to be ignored. Despite no longer being active, Aluminum Noise remains one of the key ones in terms of evocative and multi-faceted noise, and this collection of tracks from 2001-2002 is most likely the last we'll hear from this sonic incarnation.
More than anything, Outnumbered and Fatigued is a personal journey through sound, whetever lush, lo-fi or openly noisy. Meet the People of the Volcano, contemplate their Secret Temple, face your wandering dreams and nightmares in aural swamps, and then finally stumble down for the Small Death. As the last murmurs gradually fade like the colors on a old photograph, time has only left two things for us : memories and emotions.
