You all know how the dispersion of promo's works at Gothtronic. We write down the ones we think we know how to handle and depending on who else wants to review that exact one, we get supplied with them. But this one actually just got sent to me and .. I AM SO GRATEFUL !!!
'Animality' is an hour worth of the most intense ritualistic music you've probably heard in a long, long time. An hour worth of patterns by and sounds, created by drums, built by native Americans. Either processed beyond recognition or "just" they way they are.
The result is a shamanistic soundscape, where rhytms are layered on top of eachother, resulting in some extreme dynamics when you look at the whole composition. Truly hypnotizing in a good way.
Somehow, this CD reminds me of 'How to destry angels' by Coil. Not because of the music, bat that record had the subtitle "Ritual music for the accumulation of male sexual energy" and no other record ever came close to giving me that ritual feeling. Up until now ...
What furthermore makes this release worth mentioning - and what definitly gets the grade on this release higher - is the packaging. The slick black digipack folds out and turns into a three dimensional structure. A very nice white & golden screenprint takes care of the finishing touch.
This is a release both emd.pl and Daniel Menche can and will be very proud of.
