Lasse Marhaug's Pica Disk and and Noel Meek's End of the Alphabet combine forces to help bring into the world this mammoth collection of music recorded by Clinton Williams between 2011-2016. This should be considered nothing less than God's work, since much of this material was only previously available via self-released, micro-edition CD-rs that generally wouldn't have travelled too far beyond Williams' immediate network. The music that comprises Enclosures is truly deserving of a much wider audience. And there really is a great deal of it available for fans new and old alike to get stuck into, the multi CD format the only really suitable means for distributing 30 tracks that regularly pass into double figure run times. OMIT is a ceaseless factory line, it would seem, and the imagery of such industrial environs an entirely appropriate way of understanding Williams' vision - radically minimalist, drone-based electronics with an overt aesthetic interest in blackest ever black noise and the slow funereal trudge of The End Times. This is the sound of the kind of shitty space you see in dystopian narratives like that of the Alien franchise, where technology can take you to the far reaches of other galaxies, but the spacecraft door might not open when you get there - in space no-one can hear you scream, but you'd be happy enough hearing OMIT instead. And to that point, what you're mostly hearing is the sound of someone marching to the beat of their own drum, one slow-motion step into the void at a time. It requires a particular kind of mindset to make music so definitively in and of itself, entirely committed to its own perspectives. And an hours long 5CD boxset is evidentiary testament to such unwavering vision.
