daniel menche - invoker - invoker is a 3 track CD from the american noise musician daniel menche. as far as i can determine the 3 tracks are untitled, and the running time of the disc is just over 60 minutes. as with other recent releases it isn't entirely true that this is a noise release, verging towards more of a lasting drone sound than total noise. the release is, to some degree, intended to act as an invocation - perhaps of a mood, or perhaps of something more esoteric? regardless menche's releases do on the whole tend to invoke a sense of mood, his sound being textured and atmospheric, so that with this release he remains one of the "noise" musicians that i appreciate the most. invoker is released by the greek extreme sound label anti-frost in a card sleeve, with a black sun outline on the outside, and a more exagerated sun image on the inside panel.
