Especially notable are occasional bursts of crisp, digital static. I enjoyed imagining that the performance was a kind of industrial construction itself—as though I was hearing music while looking at its naked guts.
Reviews
Aelk Minsur :: A EP (Self Released)
Aelk Minsur keeps vanishing into the most remote reaches of space with a surrounding thick fog, leading us into uncharted and intriguing passageways. Incredibly bizarre and worth the trip.
Cold Colors :: Vanishing Dreams (Waste Editions)
A very well produced piece that expresses deep human feelings— although it is synthesis based music—while exploring different palettes of sadness as a main theme.
The Future Sound Of London :: Presents Pulse Five (De:tuned)
Pulse Five is not just a retrospective on the wonders of FSOL, it is a celebration, a point of return and new beginnings for listeners to experience the intrepid audio endeavors of these sonic sculptors.
Testube :: self-sabotage (Point Source Electronic Arts)
The Testube project by Jeff Danos combines noise, techno, industrial, and glitch electronic genres into a metaphorical molten soup.
Cyberaktif:: eNdgame (Artoffact)
This is a psychedelic industrial trip—very diverse, organic and holistic, showing us the perfect combination of Key’s sound sculptures, Fulber’s arrangements and Leeb’s melodies and vocals.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Parity Town EP (Condition Human)
Industrial and synthetic terrain nevertheless harbors a wide variety of severely saturated beats, noise, and bizarre soundscapes.
Lamasz and Grandbruit :: Suivant (élan vital)
A felicitous confluence of two distinct sound worlds/whorls in a zone notionally adumbrated by texture-mappers.
Simon McCorry :: I the Storm (See Blue Audio)
I the Storm is by Simon McCorry who is well known as a remarkable cellist and sound-sculptor of ambiguous environments. Here are four extended tracks of cello-toned sculptures.
Parallel Worlds :: Fragmented (DiN)
Listening further and more closely, I perceived that Fragmented sounds more contemporary—the music has an industrial edge. The album has a tasteful minimalist quality as does much of Cluster, but it sounds more relentless and more driven in pace.
Maps & Diagrams :: Obscura (Handstitched*)
Acrylic paints and paper art loaded with intrigue, ambient noise and introspection, lo-fi, tape-based pieces in short-form compositions.
