| DESCRIPTION | ||
 | SHUDO Rit Label : Quatermass Year : 2002 Format : CD Style : Electronic / Experimental Availability : Available on request Price : 13.50 € - BUY | |
| Description : | This is a mysterious piece of music. At times rising above nothing more than a series of simplistic drum patterns and a possessed guitar, the effect is radiates is eerie and strange. It's as if the whole architecture that the sound rested upon was made up of a liquid mass subject to change at anytime. Symphonic washes of melody that sound adrift on the sea are meshed with the sound of metal or wood being ground into a pulp and then recycled into a series of hypnotic rhythms that move each track along in a soft but drunken manner. On a track like 'Random Hiver' the spectacular residue of this combination is nothing short of enchanting, but the hollow and vaccuous halls of sound sometimes become too plain and uninvolving. This is especially true for the middle third of the album. Vocals samples are used early on in good taste to provide a sense of voyeurism within the music, but in the middle portion of RI.T it just serves to stretch out tracks that weren't meant to be stretched out.
'Aritec' and 'We Watch Over You' are both far too alike to be enjoyable back to back. If it weren't for 'Random Hiver,' I might have become sick with the album too soon and missed the promising conclusion. A series of sucking sounds (think snot) lead 'We Watch Over You' into 'Cheyenne,' a tune that creates an empty and strange embrace between keyboards and drums. The drums never quite sync up with eachother nor with the self-destructing melodies fading and buzzing out of the sound spectrum. The end of the song is a mess of alien sound and instellar noise that dissipates into thin air before the escapist 'Enron State' topples into being and blows itself out on its own gust of wind. Yes, the song has a bit of a political tint to it, but nevermind such a distraction: the music is lovely. The end leaves me feeling lonely and somehow depressed: the entire album just feels like a byzantine cathedral that echoes to the point discomfort. It's gorgeous, without a doubt, but there's something about that void that is unsettling; it's a space that's hard to look into without being absorbed by it. | |
