Feel the force,energy, power, great bass line and beats on this outstanding, rhythmical, solid musical tracks, with distorted vocals and strange, interesting, powerful lyrics, that are hypnotic, and powerful, out with the musical style of this album. I was really drawn into this album, and couldn't get enough of it..Bit like being on acid,with trance,dance music, pumped up full blast with vocals... Wowwwwwwwwwwwww... feel the force and become one with it now!!!1
Damn! I was hooked when the vocals kicked in on the first track. Each track got better and better. Right on.
+1 for attitude and originality, however the sounds are kinda poor...has big potential...
thanks 4 sharing :)
I like the comment from ax11 about Skinny Puppy on steroids. Succinct and very astutely observant as ever, I appreciate ax11's sharpness and dry wit. Personally, after listening to other Duir material, I cannot honestly say that I like any of this. It doesn't even come close to touching Anam Cara for instance, it is crazy and I think if I was listened to this whilst on acid (which would not happen) I would probably kill myself or someone very close by. Not a very nice listening experience and that's while I'm straight. It just sounds like hardcore mayhem with the worst vocalisms I could probably imagine, sounds like a cartoon character having a psychotic attack of some sort. Knowing that Duir can produce some excellent music this is a big disappointment I'm afraid, but that's just my point of view, and obviously not one shared by the other two reviews currently in place. For me the better parts are when the piano comes into play, but even then not enough to be a saving grace.
"Skinny Puppy on steroids" was my first thought. My second thought was "Skinny Puppy on steroids through an old BOSS analog distortion".
This is really tough stuff :) Not what I'd call "Dark Tech" rather contemporary Dark Wave that has -finally- dropped it's annoying whinery & self-pity and arrived at the post-industrial age.
Huh?! Wait... what's that f***ing piano doing here? OK the third track sucks - not really. It does some surprising change to something very familiar: could be Front Line Assembly (despite of that f***ing piano) and back to very Skinny-Puppy-like distorted, far away vocals lost between the rhythmic explosions of a die-hard industrial drum section.
