Exocet is an industrial project from Rene Klimaczewski who’s also known from Klima and his own label Kellermusik. With Exocet he makes very dark electronic music that with regards to style could be categorized as a mixture of (post)industrial and rhythmic industrial. The synthesizer and divere sounds that invoke the post-industrial atmosphere are accompanied by tight rhythms, pulsating basses, and a technoid complexity that's reminescent of acts like Manufactura and Converter. The various samples sound haunting and insure an ominous atmosphere which makes Exocet way less accessible than previously mentioned acts. Quite a few samples reflect the dark sides of religious rituals, terrorism, corruption, and war. The Spanish titles together with the samples and overall atmosphere makes this album reflect themes like obscure practices somewhere in the big city ghettos. Musically this album explores rhythmic industrial as well as gloomy dark ambient spheres. There is much to be found on this experimental recording and this makes it an intense listening. The pounding remix of ‘South End’ by Manufactura which is added to the album actually doesn’t add much more to this already excellent album.
