about

Kirchenkampf has been John Gore’s primary project since 1986. Ambient, industrial, & experimental sounds influenced by prog rock, avant jazz, classical music, Tangerine Dream, & of course Brian Eno. A perfect match to us here at Silber.
On Swimming Towards The Light, Gore’s compositions are inspired by facing his fear of drowning. The sounds shimmer like water with sounds that are both distant & submerged as well as in your ear present. A journey & a soundtrack, somewhere between a horror film & guided meditation. Listen in & survive your fears alongside Kirchenkampf.

Really spectral jams, like they're rocking out just over the distorted horizon. Sounds quiet even when on loud. Even though they are rocking the fuck out Was Ist Das?

Megasis

supported by 4 fans who also own “Swimming Towards the Light”

Edited down from a sprawling set to something more compact, this version sounds like a compilation from wildly divergent sources. Hell, sounds like about 5 different bands. Hell, maybe it is? Anyway, its nuts even by their standards. Was Ist Das?
