Jamal Moss is one of the masters of the misshapen and malformed, panel beaten horrors twisted into charcoal gargoyles of ambient, house and techno.
New York’s Sequencias marches onward into 2013, this time calling on Jamal Moss to work his weird and wonderful electronic magic. The Mathematics Recordings’ boss is a prolific producer, doling up Larry Heard inspired House, taunting techno and echoing ambience all, with Industrial undercurrents and fortitude. With Sequencias Moss returns to his The Sun God moniker, of Jack-FM and Eargasmic fame, for some blackened machine music.
“Spoken by the Spirits” takes the hammer to the furnish. A battery of molten beats pour onto the factory floor, shards of delicate glass falling in the form of a melody. Jak is the result, but not a distortion fest of brimstone. There is a gentleness mixed into the industrial landscape that sets this opening in a different category. “Four, This is Our Salvation” is another kettle of fish. Rasping shrieks rise and fall in a tangle of magnetic distraction. A track of metallic mutations and noise, tough to see anyone surviving this one.
Moss is one of the masters of the misshapen and malformed, panel beaten horrors twisted into charcoal gargoyles of ambient, house and techno. Smudged and smeared aggression from one of Moss’ most psychological nom de plumes.
The Spirits Have Spoken is available on Sequencias.
