Reviews
ELLEN ALLIEN - THRILLS
Bpitch Control 106 | CD/2xLP | 2005
Based around a love of Ye Olde 808's and the infamous ARP 2600, 'Thrills' (produced in conjunction with Smash TV) leaves behind much of Ellen's previous dabbles with more complex and crunched-up electronics in favour of a more abandoned, analogue sound for the floor. "Thrills" is a club record through and through, complete with killer pounding basslines, teutonic vocals and the sort of transitional precision only a seasoned DJ with as much floor-filling experience as Ms Allien can produce. In the end, 'Thrills' does exactly what it says on the tin.
AUDION - SUCKFISH
SPC-33 | CD/2xLP | October 4, 2005 *
" Audion's on a velvet glove tip, wrapping iron-fisted beats in plush sounds that rub you all the right ways -- and leave you red with welts. No wonder so many of the track titles reference sex. Acid lashings, stilleto stabs, and knotty, knotty sub-bass -- this is the sound of giving in and letting go."
-Philip Sherburne (The Wire, XLR8R, Pitchfork) *
Amidst the maelstrom of aliases adopted by Detroit’s prodigious and prolific Matthew Dear, AUDION is undoubtedly the grittiest -- a dark representation of Dear's id and a brain undone. The singles “Kisses,” “The Pong,” and “Just ing” have earned immense praise for their serrated approach to heavy 4/4 techno, bringing untamed synths and raucous beats into a devastating mélange. All three songs appear on the SUCKFISH full-length CD, alongside eight other dancefloor burners that also succeed on a psychedelic listening level. Alternately demonic and playful, much of SUCKFISH rides a wave of raw sexual energy, with pinprick melodies, grimy oscillations, and machinist blasts, playing out like a high-strung psychological drama. With SUCKFISH, Matthew Dear frees the psychic energy from its social underpinnings and allows a new voice to prevail, permitting the music of his birth name to reach further into the electronic pop realms he carved out on 2003's widely acclaimed Leave Luck to Heaven. By integrating the vital spirit of Detroit techno with a tangible sense of tension and release, AUDION forges an indelible new path for heavy machine music. |
