Musique Machine Reviews

From Musique Machine:

Merzbow & Carlos Giffoni – Synth Destruction
Synth Destruction is just of an hour of premium noise craft from two of the most recognizable names in the genre. Recorded live in Tokyo last year is this much more consistent and rewarding than the Merzbow,Giffoni and O’Rourke collaboration that came out a few months back.

Daniel Menche – Bleeding Heavens
Bleeding heavens soaks the listener in suffocating and building audio tension, all of the four long tracks feel like your almost on a mental rack as Menche’s stretches the grey & often painful drones and boil edges to there limit, seemlyalways on the edge of exploding and melting your mind.

Little Annie – Songs from the Coal Mine Canary
Songs from the Coal Mine Canary is probably very much the album that Annie “Anxiety” Bandez wanted to make. It sounds like she had a lot of fun and it shows through. The album kicks off Freddy and Me, which begins with a list of philosphers, drugs and society’s evils, then kicks into a cabaret style upbeat tune. The rest of the lyrics seems to concern the idea of gaining inspiration from love in times of desolation. Without a shadow of a doubt, the lyrics are the high point of this work.
