"Next moments to enjoy are the ambient noise sounds of TL0741, a/k/a one man band American noisenik Pat Gillis, and his second album “Magnetic Injuries”, originally released on Panic Research Audio, but here a re-mastered version on HC3 with added tracks. Ten tracks of various lengths between 2 – 15 minutes performed on synths, effects and tape manipulations. The sounds are dark and industrial with a lot of inputs of great ideas that split the sound layers into electro acoustic kind. Pat presses his buttons, switches knobs and plays his instruments with great skills and under full control. The music is probably improvised a lot, but has bright and well-thought structure that makes it interesting all the time. My favourite is the laid back, evocative dronish "Cloaca" with its slight movements, slowly from minute to minute, analogue drone music at its best."

"Magnetic Injuries (HC3TLCd2) is a new edition of a work previously out on Panic Research Audio with new tracks; Gillis does everything using synths, effects and tape manipulation, impressively performed in real time. This risky approach does much to add tension and crackle to his highly-abstracted concoctions, which can work very nicely when spread out to over 15 minutes as on the impressive "Auricle" here, although some may prefer the pop-tune economy of "Ur Chokt" and "Through Blast Radius", which make their respective points in around three minutes. TL0741’s splurgy, paintbrush charged-up approach to electronic music is refreshing; he won’t bludgeon the listener with airless noise, even if he risks getting his gumboots sucked into the mud and murk that swirls around the feet of those who dare to flirt with analogue equipment."

"The second full length release from Pat Gillis’s Washington, DC based TL0741 called "Magnetic Injuries" is a smoldering slab of radiation burnt body parts. As more electronic noise artists jump the fence and concern themselves with propulsive hypnogogic psychedelia, Gillis probes the dark side of electronic anima. Self-described as "Noise AggroAmbient," I see these improvisations as undulating, bio-morphic structures, festering in the swamp lands of an unhealthy imagination.

First track, "Ur Chokt" launches into layered distressed computer chip sounds and the crackle pop of distressed circuits. Ventricle unwinds slowly until it fades in muted bass tones. "Lung Orchid" documents a throbbing action of something half alive or half dead? It is a dark journey indeed. "Auricle" proceeds along in slow-motion until the broken vocals and circuit bending bring a halt to the time travel and at fifteen minutes in length, this could have made a nice release by itself. The majority of the album explores bleak landscapes without interruption. "Through Blast Radius" speeds through a dizzy array of kaleidoscopic warbling sounds, only to drop listener into the unholy mind freeze called "Epitaxy". "Invasion Table" layers mesmerizing drone with feedback against pulsating noise. The effect is hypnotic and one might paint a visual of extra-terrestrial vehicles lumbering across a barren plain. Gillis certainly has a knack for film making without cameras, his soundtracks are full of sonic textures that imply cinematic vistas.

The nine minute plus "Unabled" wafts in the zero gravity of space and tape echo as a lonely synthesizer mourns in the distance until a storm of distortion overtakes the listener. Eventually Gillis lifts us out into a track called "Perpendicular Fade" and if you want a visual metaphor, think of a complex geometric object rotating on an old CRT screen.

TL0741’s "Magnetic Injuries" is a brutal collection of dark atmospherics. Gillis is in the business of crafting sound that punishes and grinds your aurality and it's a slow meandering process but he covers much ground. For those that like music to stimulate the mind's eye, this is a brilliant soundtrack that will not disappoint."

"I have no idea what the band's name means, but the band is actually Pat Gillis, armed with synths, effects, an affinity for tape manipulation, and an aggressive attitude toward the healing power of noise. This is a remastered version of an earlier limited release on the even more obscure label Panic Research Audio with two new tracks, and the band's second full-length release. The ten tracks on this album are explorations of the rhythmic possibilities of harsh noise, a series of unsettling vistas of corroded sound and the abuse of high-frequency generators; Gillis frequently shapes his blocks of sound into machine-like rhythms, but the results sound less like any traditional concept of music and more like the sound of giant robot warships preparing for battle. There's a distinct cosmic rock vibe to a lot of the material here, with lots of moaning, wailing reverb-heavy effects and what sounds like bursts of deep-space radio transmissions. At times (especially on 'Through Blast Radius") it sounds like he's mixing in field recordings as well as electronically-derived sounds, creating even more variety to his textures. Regardless of the noise content -- which is quite high at times -- it's the droning space-rock quality that sets this album apart from most excursions into rhythmic noise. Weird and hallucinatory, but highly compelling and recommended."
