SoiSong: qXn948s

SoiSong is the newest project of Throbbing Gristle/COIL founder Peter Christopherson and bandmate Ivan Pavlov. qXn948s is their first official recording, sold initially at shows on their first European tour, but it is expected to be available for purchase online soon. In the meantime, abrieviated versions of the tracks can be heard on their Myspace page. The music reminds me of COIL's lengthier ambient pieces, such as "How to Destroy Angels", but decidedly more Southeast Asian in influence. These four tracks, particularly the breathtaking closer "Jam Talay Sai", make me eager to hear more from SoiSong.
