Musique Machine Reviews

March 15, 2010 — Mike

From Musique Machine:

Yellow Swans – Live During War Crimes 3
There’s no doubt about it during the mid to late 2000’s The Yellow Swans were the most exciting, creative & each release anticipated act with-in the worldwide noise scene. With their distinctive & one off mixture of noise, boiling psychedelic drone matter, caustic yet at times haunting & harmonic guitar scaping, and seared ambience- Sadly in early 2008 the band decided to call it a day. ‘Live During War Crimes 3′ is the final volume in the series of the excellent live collections which shows this inventive & inspired two piece at the height of their powers in the live arena.

Mamuthones – SATOR
‘SATOR’ sits between thick & mysterious ritual whisper lined mood scapes, and macabre to discordant Fender Rhodes slightly guitar barbed freak-outs. It sits in a strange sonic place between smooth yet puzzling ritualistic airs & churning lite psychedelic rock work-outs. Like a strange ritual that’s organised, sleek & sensual; yet debauchery lined, primal & off-kilter at the next turn.

Shield Your Eyes – Shield Em
Shield Your Eyes are three stalwarts of southern England’s post-hardcore scene that grew in response to developments that spread across the States throughout the late eighties and early nineties from Washington DC’s Dischord Records (Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses) to Texas’ At The Drive-In. A principled scene that took old school hardcore’s socio-political dogmatism and cast it internally, bringing about a more intense, introspective range of sentiments reflected by punk’s maturing musicianship.

Toby Dammit – Kriminal
Toby Dammit’s “Kriminal” is the loudest Harsh Noise release I’ve heard all year, and is mastered just about as loud as is actually possible. If you’re looking for sheer sonic violence, here it is. But is there any depth to it? I believe so. It’s difficult for an album like this to distinguish itself among the countless releases available today, but “Kriminal” succeeds in doing so, and crushes you in the process.

Sturmpercht – Schattenlieder
‘Schattenlieder’ sees Sturmpercht return with their 4th album of Alpine Folk- the genre they invented that mixers together elements neo folk, more traditional Austrian / south Bavarian folk, with experimental & creative edger’s. The album as a whole shows a darker, denser more atmospheric side to the band, sure there still the drinking & buoyant accordion ribbed songs of the past here. But on the whole the album more thoughtful, dense & darker; almost like the band have gone into deeper, darker Austrian forests for their influence & vibe.

Frank Rothkamm – Alt
‘Alt’ Collects together 10 tracks from over a period of twenty years (1989 to 2009) by long standing electronica, ambient and stripped atmospheric techno artists Frank Rothkamm.
