I must say that TWC are much more minimalistic and noisy than I excepted. And I like every second of it. Warning though - this is not record you listen only once - you'll miss a lot if you do it.
Divine Whore - Beautiful minimal noize (actually with touches of blues if you listen carefully). Voice is clear beutiful instrument in contrast in glitching main background. Love it.
Guitar MOvement - Noisy. urban. NOt much guitar here. Again Voice makes beautiful ambient (sadness).
Everybody Wants Euphoria 2 - I don't listen meaning of text first time I listen things. Just the sound of it. But here it is ipossible to miss explicit languange and, well listen what everybody wants :). BUT meaning of words can be distraction from excelent rhytam and sound quality to it. Chips like to experiment and they are uncompromissing as I heard. Good. Good.
Guitar Movement II - My kind of stuff. There are strange melodies, beautiful timbre - more traces of it than developed things. Good. Good.
broken record 666 - Well, don't play with devil.
This reminds me of many things from The Books to Sonic Youth. But big difference is of course sound which is despite of it's weirdness and experimental nature consistant through whole this little EP.
Thanks for awesome experiance and sharing !
Very entertaining experiment. Especially Transfusion. Electronic music in light which is not just cold dance rhytm. Very well produced and executed but with pair of very cool ideas shining through. I liked I Robot a lot.
This sounds like those strange dance radios I sometimes listen late at night and wonder "who is dancing to that now?". They sounds like radios from Twilight Zone or something like that. As always churst is deadly precise and can his sound perfectly well. Good, oiled dancing machine in twilight zones.
There is no much variety in Starry nights composition structures. They are rising or falling repetitive spirales, ellipses, cyrcles. Variety is in sound, in carefully chosen sound colors combinations twisted and layered i thick structures like Vang Gogh style in starry nights.
Not so rich maybe but abiental nature of music compensate that.
Repetitive more like waves or wind or nature, but different in their expanding nature. Here we don't have passive ambient, we have self learning developement. Learning in repeating. Repeating in lerning, thick oily painted or pastelly washed life cyrcle it depends of composition we listen.
I don't like long ambients. But I understand that here time is needed to develop wide and rich soundscape.
Excellent work
I like Button's thoughts! Sounds like Old Syd Barretts Pink Floyd song. Very soft and cool. I like "weak singing " as Martin says. Francman singing on english :). Ghost views sounds like Nico because of that. In short I like album very much. It has great atmosphere and it's eeezy and cool to listen. Like choice of instruments and kind of oldish feel (not pulpish - oldish).
Thanks for sharing:)
I like, well, subtlety - Suptile rhytm throbing, developing through 22 minutes, bells, suptile "random" sounds. And loong suptile feeling av faraway land, walking through moist air and alike.
Thanks for this little afternoon concerto Pierre-Marie.
I like concept very much. Whole idea with dusty corners of life and "Army of me" feeling strikes so true last days. It reflects in music of contrasts. Especially JM Jarre parts teared off for good with guitar. Or not? I don't know - on same places I would use totallt different sound color. Dusty World and Nerves can stand for whole album like example of contrasts cometa is playing here. But then again What Time Is it, Crimson Land and Clouds are whole different more ambiental story. I don't agee with choice of first track - it doesn't reperesents album in the right way.
This is awesome album , it intrigues, it has good ideas, awesome ambients and likewise guitar usage.
Thank you for experiance.
Real raw, street blues in the unexpected place. Thanks 4 sharing
My review's title is not joke. This piece associates me on two things Ennio Morricone's film music and Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass both has with Wild West to do.
Still it's good old Pierre-Marrie but this time in very unusual, differently modern light and it suits him perfectly. This piece is absolutely awesome in it's repetitivness, dynamic structure and rhytm. Real living trance. Well done maestro.
(and thanks to daisylis for recomanding this one)
I can Imagine me listening to this on the buss on my way to job, looking city's greyscape washed clean by morning light. I like sound, clear as the light, as water, flowing guitars. Vocals are, well, perfectly fit in this kind of sound but not particulary original im afraid. I like synth noises as contrapunkt to guitar flow, make all of it more interesting.
Very good mili LP Thanks guys for sharing this.
