The Greenhouse in June 2005 was a hot place to be, and the day before crossing the Pennines to be Antisocial at The Brudenell in Leeds, RMI recorded the session heard here for the first time in full.

An album Blacker was released shortly afterwards containing edited highlights of the recordings and is reissued here followed by two extended and uncut performances which ably demonstrate the shapeshifting form of RMI's improvising methods. Hypnotic Bass loops, ominous keyboards, soaring guitar and heavily percussive sequencer.

The initial titles were references to This Is Spinal Tap so it's only appropriate that this extended version is released in the same month as Tap's follow up The End Continues.

None more Black.

radio massacre international's sound defies categorization it is more magical than musical. the music is, first and foremost, improvisational. it is loose in structure but also searching. r.m,i. is all about generating the happy accidents that occur at the ever-changing intersection of multiple moving bodies. when two sequences converge fascinating things happen opening rhythmic and textural options that just moments before were closed to view. it is the creation and exploration of those options that dominates what r.m,i. does in its music.
