Gma


<< Back


Worn out I got home from work as I put Gma by Erthad into my CD player and lay myself on the coach to relax. When I closed my eyes I felt like going unconsciousness as a dazzling of bright coloured pulsating frequencies appeared in front of my eyes and peaceful I sank deep into a blanket of whitenoise encapsulating my being in softness. 
The music of Erthad is minimal in structure but there is a lot happening beneath the surface that takes you away on journeys beyond infinity. Musical Erthad is to compare with German industrial legend Maeror Tri except for the fact that Erthad use digital equipment instead of analogue.

Erthad is making music for a few years already but never wanted to do a serious release only for friends and those who are interested. Fortunately Zhelezobeton knew to persuade him to do an international release and we should be thankful for this.

Gma is an interesting release with interesting music; freely you can let yourself fall in this ocean of drones and whitenoise. The music is a colourful vertigo just as on the beautiful cover is demonstrated. After taking a look at the website of Zhelezobeton I can say the label has much attention for the artwork as all releases looked precious works of art.

Gma contains six untitled tracks various of character and approach. It has a lot of noise but it never sounds aggressive or harsh. The sound is subtle modulated in dreamscape kind of soundscapes designed with refinement. The monotonous compositions stay tensed and change just in time to take you deeper away into this bright cosmos.
These pulsating frequencies give a massage to the brain as subliminal sound waves get their way to your sub consciousness to stimulate the senses and refreshing your mind.

With only 40 minutes this seems a short CD in times that most CD’s take their maximal time but I think this is just OK for this is quality above quantity.
A very enigmatic and mesmerizing release by this promising Russian label from whom I hope to hear more in the future.
