Zeek Sheck

John_Brainlove [Edit] [Delete] 02:54, 5 March '07

I found an odd, haunting, beautiful song by someone called "Zeek Sheck" in iTunes called "Johannesburg Video Game Arcade: Crystal Castles" which I must have downloaded while doing a SLSK sweep for Crystal Castles stuff. I have since listened to it over and over again, it's so beautiful, some kind of organ, some hissing and rattling, distant booming and screaming like train tracks maybe or really strong wind, and a wobbly spoken word monologue that sounds like something important, last words or a rare chance to send a message to someone or...

God. It's brilliant. It reminds me of things like Dirty Three, The Books, GY!BE... the gravity of Wim Wenders "Until The End Of The World", fresh air and road movies, melancholic but not really. Just... serious. Wonderful.

Does anyone have any awareness of this music or any leads or info? Google has thrown up various oddnesses, fictionalised biographies and dead-ends...

Mysterious. Another MP3 just surfaced (thanks Alice!)...
