Interviews

Pierrick C. - Mind Necrosis Factor
In his second LP, Mind Necrosis factor combines acoustic elements and piercing rhythms, tribal cries and post-industrial atmospheres. More than genesis of a new shape, this album traces the emergence of a mind, from the obscurity of the first moments to the cessation of pain. It invites the listener to look beyond the flesh and to feel the breath of the hidden self.

Reviews



Disharmony - Cloned - Other Side Of Evolution

With "Cloned - Other Side of Evolution", Disharmony has proven that remix albums can add a whole new lease of life to tracks, and create something entirely different in the process.

15 Degrees Below Zero - New Travel
15 Degrees Below Zero take hold of the territory between droning ambiance and noise and meshes it together quite well and in a very pleasing way, while puting their own unique slant on the styles of music they incorporate.

Matamachete - Tanin No Kao

Matamachete define their music as a mix between punk, drum 'n' bass and industrial. One could easily be lead to believe that Matamachete is just another one of these digital punk, Atari Teenage Riot wanna-be bands which are often described this way. In this case, just listen and you'll quickly find out that you were wrong...

Orchestramaxfieldparrish - The Silent Breath of Emptiness
Listening to "The Silent Breath of Emptiness" it is amazing to think that it was recorded live as it was performed and in a single take as music of this type is often carefully orchestrated in a studio using layering techniques and all manner of electronic effects and gadgets.

Worms Of The Earth - The Angels Of Prostitution

"The Angels of Prostitution" is an expression of what is still left to be explored within electronic music today and an imprint which should leave a notable reverberation within those that are paying attention. If this album is a harbinger of things to come for Worms of the Earth, I'm sticking around to find out what happens next.

Voice_Electronic Duo - VED
Something like experimental pop, wherein jazz elements, electronic loops and curious vocal manipulations stimulate compositions both expansive in their progression and crystalline in their clarity. There are hints of Portishead here, along with facets of Lali Puna, Télépopmusik and Zero 7, though altogether none of these resemblances offer a precise comparison.

Phallus Über Alles - Les Femmes De La Guerre

Globally, "Les Femmes de la Guerre" is a pretty well-produced EP, but isn't really enough to satisfy those of us who are waiting for a Phallus Über Alles new album since a while. Let me get this straight: this record isn't going to renew the genre, but without a doubt it's gonna kick some ass.

V/A - C:\>_THOMAR
It's not a bad compilation if you've got your 80's head on but fancy a modern twist on it, with some interesting twists in direction from Euthymia and Zentex. Not going to grab much attention from those who aren't familiar with the label already, but it's an interesting introduction none the less.

Himiko - Himiko

What is most difficult to reconcile about this album is its apparent emptiness, an impoverishment of craft that occurs despite its passionate methodology, DYI punk sensibilities and creative improvisation. "Himiko" challenges only the senses, as it batters them to porridge. But maybe that's the point?
