Redux


<< Back


Formication can be placed in a tradition of bands such as Throbbing Gristle, Psychick Warriors ov Gaia, Future Sound of London and Coil. As soon as you hear the first sounds of the maelstrom on this Redux recording you’ll know you are dealing with musick in best Coil tradition in which there is chaos as well as structure, deep sometimes symphonic sounding drones, merged together with half remembered melodies from sleepless summer nightmares. I had to think of the music of the Lifeforms album by Future Sound of London more than once while listening to the 4 pieces of music on Redux. This is not music for delicate types, yet is meant for the musical connaisseur. On Redux are 4 tracks which are remakes of existing tracks from the band discography which were already performed live. These tracks are reworked in such a way that profoundly different compositions have been created. ‘The Line That Divides the Earth from the Sky’ is a richly sounding track full of samples and built around a especially well performed exercition in tribal percussion and therefore deserves an explicite mentioning. This is a recording that is recommended to the adventurous listener of electronic sounds.
