Vedisni also records as Monstrare, Cordell Klier and KreptKrept. I
will take this opportunity, if I may, to bemoan a pet hate of mine that
is sadly endemic in the industrial scene. History remembers those proud
individuals who have the courage and conviction to intone their words
clarion-clear over tapestries of intricate noise, those Jhon
Balances, Blixa
Bargelds and Genesis
P-Orridges who eventually get to play at venues of the calibre of
the Royal Festival Hall
or the ICA. History
forgets, thankfully, those mealy-mouthed pretenders who mutter and mumble
their words into a couple of cheap guitar pedals like Norwegian black-metallers
ordering pizza, whose crowning moments of conquering glory will probably
occur in the back room of a pub in Finsbury Park in front of thirty punters
and a bored landlady. Put up or shut up. If something's worth saying at
all, it's worth saying out loud. That said, I really like some of the
backing music on this album. Five long, symphonic soundscapes explore
a broad spectrum of frequencies, textures, dissonant harmonies and motoric
rhythms. But next time, hide the vocalist's pisspoor fuzzbox, or at least
swap it for a decent harmonic flanger or some single-sideband processors.
Or a kazoo or something. |
