From the Chicago Reader:

LUASA RAELON - Ohioan David Reed is Luasa Raelon; he's also Envenomist, Brittle Foundries, and the owner of Snip-Snip Records, which specializes in limited-edition CD-R releases of industrial, electronic, abstract, and noise music of nearly every flavor. Snip-Snip's stable is full of constantly twiddling, droning, and grinding thinkers who are so prolific they seem to be inviting us to treat their releases as ephemera, but nothing that Luasa Raelon has put out sounds disposable to me. The oppressive quality of last year's The Poison City (Eibon) feels meticulously constructed--the music crystallizes haunting shapes out of its swirling electronic mist, hinting at something unseen banging around in the gritty air. Bloodyminded, Panicsville, Is, Climax Denial, and NC open. 9:30 PM, Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western, 773-276-3600 or 866-468-3401, $8. / --Monica Kendrick / Luasa Raelon's page at Eibon Records' Web site: http://www.eibonrecords.com/releases/Luasa.htm
