Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

The Instrumental Ward - The Instrumental Ward (2001)





The Instrumental Ward is a producer duo comprised of Jaded and Manik. Today we bring you the duo's self titled album from 2001.

I'm not exactly sure about the history of the Ward, nor am I sure what they're up to today. The duo's 2003 release, "Physiology, Hygiene, Narcotics" got some coverage, but I haven't really heard from either of them since. You might recognize Manik as a part of The WhyKnows (alongside Existereo, Innaspace, and Jeremy Owens.) I have next to no info on this debut release, aside from the physical CD I copped years ago in some blind buy. 

This project is comprised mainly of darker noisy landscapes, often fit for some off-kilter sci-fi flick. The duo does do a pretty good job of never letting the tracks get away from themselves, though if you're not super into experimental sounds, this may not be your cup o tea. If you do like that darker weird shit, however, be sure to peep.  

If anyone knows what either of these guys are up to today, drop a comment!
