Bloody Mary

Le Trésor, ou la Mer.

C'est dans un bateau. A la mer, il troque son bonheur contre sa richesse. Bloody Mary est un album à la santé de ceux qui sentent le vent du large et le chien mouillé.

Mi Pueblo (feat. Lonah : synth, Luizo Vega : chant)

    A Cordoba, en Argentine, en novembre 2006, nous rencontrons Luizo Vega dans un hotel et finirons par avoir une amitié très forte avec lui. Nous enregistrons alors quelques pistes à mettre en musique en rentrant en France. Mi Pueblo est un thème traditionnel argentin.. qui parle du pays

A Million of Years (feat Lonah : voix)

    Un des morceaux qui traîne dans nos têtes depuis le plus longtemps.. A Million of Years a quatre ans, il y a eu un texte la dessus.. Mais c'est le silence qui nous donne la réponse et nous apaise. Dédicacé à Eric.

Bloody Mary

    Sur la musique qu'entend celui qui chante ivre mort dans la rue. Au pavé, et au dieu des causes perdues.

China Town

    Pour les regards portés à travers une fenêtre qui prend la pluie

(para ti : paroles + musique : Johnny Gonzales)

    Enregistré à Santa Cruz, en Bolovie, en septembre 2006 dans une cour d'hotel. Johnny Gonzales qui nous chante une chanson, avant qu'on aille se perdre dans la vodka (photo illustration de Polb)

Bloody good one for the folk...

Mi Pueblo resonates from lows to highs and pounds out itself assertively. Then tinkers with synthetics and voice of the featured.

A Million of Years isn't that long a track, though it has a lovely subtle reverberation in its instrumentalist construction, quite bright and spacious. It billows clouds of electronical noises then, bombards you with a significant force of presence. It sits back on its haunches menacingly, promisingly. Time to think. This is where I feel solipsistic.

Bloody Mary sounds like a good night all round. A nice predominance won over the crowd in the end though, so it seems.

China Town crackles wonderfully, like such a paper-town conflagration might. Then there is a mournful classic sense to it all and it turns out to be a beautiful track, one it feels with some insight I need not know.

'para ti' finishes it all off perfectly according to plan.

A pleasant romp into the obscure.

Hooray! I love artistic excess!

Though I've been a fan of Binary Mind's techno/industrial already, it's great to see the artist branching out, collaborating with artists of different genres and making music with new flavours. Bloody Mary does a fantastic job at doing this.

Consistency comes in pairs on this album. The first two tracks juxtapose wonderful folk with some slow, powerful techno. They're short, but excellent.

The next two are long. A Million of Years is a nice long ambient piece... until a beat powerful enough to shake the rain kicks in halfway through the song. The strength continues through the title track. Awkward & Math-y, a rather bewildering listen at first (though it seems to drag on a bit and lose its energy).

The final two tracks: first an ambient piece that leads up to the abnormally-peppy final track, completely inconsistent with the all the previous songs. It doesn't "flow" very well, but it's a nice way to end an album that was pumping with energy for the previous 35 minutes - I chuckled from the awkward transition.

Personally, it's my favourite Binary Mind release... A departure from what was done previously, but that's a good thing in my eyes.

damn weird

whoa. this is completely different to the other Binary Mind stuff - it isn't an electro album, it's an audial travelogue. (see the description of the album for what i'm talking about.) for this, i have to admire it: i like unusual album concepts, and albums that hang together well enough to sound like a synthesis of ideas rather than a random collection of tracks, and Bloody Mary does that.

but damn, is the music ever weird. the massive gulf between this and, say, the Binary Mind CD1&2 is that the collaborators on this album seem to have a completely different style to the artist themselves, so i'm hearing all these harpsichord-esque synths and Argentinian folk melodies and shit and to be honest, i'm just weirded out. it's really not something you'd play for other people to dance to, and it's not something i personally would be able to listen to again. i guess if you like folk and electronica, this'd be your bag, but it's not exactly Gogol Bordello and i'd be lying if i said it would go down well with the usual denizens of either genre.

that said, it does have a very nice album cover.
