Musique Machine Reviews

May 15, 2010 — Mike

From Musique Machine:

Jazkamer – The Monroe Doctrine
‘The Monroe Doctrine’ is the third album of twelve full length albums that will be released through-out 2010 by the highly creative & respected noise/general experimental project Jazkamer. This album is taken up by one long thirty minute track, which I guess is best described as pounding and careering rock & slightly hardcore jam with some shifting noise textures…think one of the more rewarding and fun tracks off Merzbow’s 13 Japanese Birds albums, but with a bit more of a rock/ hardcore jam feel and you’ll be close.

Arcanum – We Are The Fire
What is power electronics without the radicalism? Nothing, really, I guess. As a musical genre, noise has developed from something nearly wholly subversive to something that encapsulates so much more – besides the subversive, radical strands that embrace extremist themes and imagery on top of the musical ultra violence, more subdued, academic and even accessibly styles have also come forth. As such, noise has become a kaleidoscopic, accomplished entity, wholly mature.

Yen Pox – Blood Music
The words classic and masterpiece are too often over used by critics about albums which in time fade from ones memories into a vague mishmash of elements, and at the same time lose their potency, their element of surprise and initial freshness. But one of the few albums that does justifiable deserver to be called a classic and a genre defining moment is the dark ambient master work that is Yen Pox’s first album 1995’s Blood Music- this has yet to surpassed in it’s dank, grim, organic and ‘get under your skin take’ on black atmospherics by anyone else even Yen Pox themselves.

Foul / XSXCXEXBX – Split
This c40 HNW split brings together the often horror film obsessed thick wall noise tactics of West Virginia based Foul & scene new comer California based XSXCXEXBX. The tape finds Foul offering up one long ‘wall’ and XSXCXEXBX offering up four smaller ‘walls’.

Bachir Gemayel & Dead Body Collection – Sniper/Knives
‘Sniper/Knives’ is a nasty and violent two way HNW split between Chicago based Bachir Gemayel(aka Mac Chami who also in the excellent minimalistic HNW project Insurgent & the creative yet violent Power electronics middle eastern tinged project Koufar) and Serbian based Dead Body Collection(aka Dr Alex who’s also in the excellent Harsh Noise & HNW two piece C. T. D .)

Namazu Dantai – Winter Assault
‘Winter Assault’ is an extremely apt title for this c40 from Germany based HNW project Namazu Dantai (aka Sascha Mandler who’s also in the excellent, but unhinged & brain screwing noise meets shaman music/ world music project Izanami’s Labour Pains). As Mandler offers up two sides/two ‘walls’ of punishing storm torn & ripped HNW matter which really does make you feel like your staggering through a battering & wind tearing winter hurricane or violent storm.
