[WaW028] helico bacter - Rouge & Noir

Special Agent Helico Bacter has done it yet again.
In making an encaptureing, enraptureing, seriously-in-awe-putting
masterpiece of a fully rounded break-beat-beauty. First he'll wrap
you in gently swinging beats, just to open a trap-door, which leads
to exciting, nervous tension. Tip-toeing then with incessant speed
over the remainders of 100 Million sound-bits tangled into one.
You should try to carress with your imaginative fingertips the
distinctive veil the piano strings around those sounds. Those would
be exuberant, if they weren't constructed with almost pure perfection,
timing and – yes – care. And it's this, that makes music truly sexy
and a great thing to have around. You might want to put your arm around
it's waist, your head on it's shoulder and wander the nightly streets
of your hometown with this album. No gloves needed.

[WaW027] The Truth About Frank - Neon Fractured Night

Some war-robots with dying batteries are stomping beats through terrifying landscapes
of giant mountains topped with scrap-metal.
A long journey into noisy battles of grinding and shuffling beat-up beats and noises,
surrounding the enemy, enclosing a space of excited, fervid sounds, crawling like a
colony of army-ants with antennas right towards you.
Prepare! → get your rusty laser-sword out and march along.

[WaW026] OneTooFreeFor - Serious Flippancy

It's like a retro-futuristic SciFi-Movie with a Protagonist,
who plays in a Jazz-Band in his free time (=when he's not on a mission in outer space).
So it basically sounds like a nervous man travelling through space and time.
He doesn't show it, let alone tell it, but oh, boy,
underlying tension is the theme.
The general alert is up, and yours will be too.
You may accompany this guy on his journies through deserts,
oriental places, his encounter in the white room,
where he meets the crazy guy in a powdered wig playing
the spinet and many more....leaving you with this feeling
not unlike, when you come out of a cinema and it's still bright
outside and reality looks utterly surreal..time to lower the general alert...

[WaW025] NEUS - Universal Middle

NEUS goes big: huge sounds, grand gestures
(though the gestures are never bigger than the skills,
which deny his tender age on the one hand; on the other feeds this volume of the boldness of youth).
It's a fully rounded, souvereign album, no messing around, no 'testing the waters',
no insecurities to be heard. It is very a balanced, self-centered piece of music,
revolving in it's own space, big beats, kind-of-melodies, clear sound.
NEUS leads the weirdos with a firm hand to the dance-floor, then to the backyard
(to do god-knows-what there), to the Bar and back to the floor. Universal Middle
(the name speaks for itself, to stress my first point) is full-body-music.
Flesh, that turned into sound, or sound that will turn into flesh. Probably both.
An organic, many-legged and -armed creature evolving and growing from Moment 1.
Let there be NEUS!

[WaW024] Insecticide Lobotomy - Eaten by a Tree

A giant factory, a church of industry, if you like.
The old-fashioned kind, brickwalls rise into eternal darkness.
Filled with beautiful machines, huge, long iron necks cutting through dusky light,
building things during the day. They sleep at night, resting their metal-limbs in absolute stillness,
that's what everyone believes.....
But if you stand very still and peek through the hole, the missing brick has left,
you see them rise....very...veeeeery...slowly...rising their heads...stretching...dancing...
waltzing in slow-motion the secret-machine-dance, their rusty voices form an eerie choire....
You will be tempted to join them...
And next time, you pass a crane, you'll give it a gentle nudge with your nose....

[WaW023] Bleary-Eyed Globe - Penniless and Wandering EP

Time to set the mind afloat...to go on an airy trip through gloomy sugar-hills.
Coup D'Etat may make some hairs stand on end
(in the good way, you know what I mean, right?) but Penniless
and wandering strokes them flat in the softest, warmest fashion imaginable....
rising up and higher in big and bigger circles towards a powder-blue sky...
I'll stop before I'm embarrassing myself here.
Mithra (My Gloomy Machine) and AM/PM programme sent big ear-candy,
now go eat it. In one go.
