Reviews


Architect - Consume Adapt Create
Something about "Consume Adapt Create" makes it seem harder, edgier and more focused than Myer's recent Architect albums. Everything about it is tight, precise and crystal clear. "Consume Adapt Create" is powerful, occasionally aggressive, sometimes haunting and often euphoric in a number of different but equally defining ways.

Kiew - Mental [Per]mutation
An interesting journey of discovery if dissonance, abstraction and surrealism is your cup of tea - especially if it comes in the form of a seamless fusion of experimental noise ambiances and industrial rhythms with gabba influences and a Dadaistic approach, quite humorous and heavily reliant on sampling and collage. KiEw once more deliver a consistent interesting slab of aural entertainment - no more nor less than what one would expect from a project which has consistently proved its worth in the past.

Life's Decay - Dysrieuses
Life's Decay's music has all the elements almost guaranteed to antagonize an eighties industrial diehard - rolling pianos, strings, overt romanticism - and yet... it somehow works for me, although I must be very far from their target audience. In fact this is probably the most explicitly and conventionally musical album I've ever reviewed.

Kernel Drop - The Dreambox
"The Dreambox" just lacks that emotive something, lost somewhere in one too many progressions on a linear trajectory.
