Misguided
by Small Things on Sundays
Those who already know SToS will most likely describe them as an experimental dark ambient project, but that is also half the truth.
Through the time, their noisier and more chaotic turntable experiments has been released on various underground cassettes, and often not promoted much. So you are escused if that side of SToS went under your radar.
This release collects the best tracks of these tapes in a newly remastered and edited versions. Wether it's a compilation or can be seen as cohesive album, (as very few owns the tapes), is up to you to decide.
The major part of these tracks were improvised live using two turntables and a stack of odd vinyls. Both members were free to decide which running order, speed and treatments to be used. A few of the live sessions were done on one turntable and a PC running various samples from earlier sessions and lots of effects. But even the two members can remember which ones….
So for that reason the full title is: ”Misguided - Live turntablism” so if you, dear listener, expects nice dark ambient flowing out of your speakers you have been warned. We urge you to turn up the volume and let the noise embrace you in this kind aural attack.

produced by Small Things on Sundays 2024
After taking the long view on Small Things on Sundays' recordings in the dark ambient category on their 2023 CD "Guide", Henrik Bagner and Claus Poulsen have gone ravaging in the archives looking for goodies our evil twins have left over since 2009.
This album is a noise salad with a lot more vinyl jumping and maxxed out effects than the table-guitar drones on Guide. Elements of 60's avantgarde, soundart, noisemusic, minimalism, plundertronics. A noise symphony (Happy nightmare).
