As a follow-up to last years excellent compilation "Beyond ignorance and borders: An African middle eastern Asian noise and electronic compilation", Belgium label Syrphe once more takes the listener on a trip to the lesser known territories of extreme electronic music. Where the first compilation had a stylish wider approach to experimental electronic music, the tracks on this one almost exclusively remains in the loud vein of expressive noise. Still the approach to the harsh sounds is nicely varied and adventurous here. Best moments on the album is the drone-based ambient-noise from Slovenian Aluviana and the Latvian artist Error with his buzzing, beautiful noise track sounding like a symphony of bee swarms. Also the South Korean artist 10 impresses a lot with his weird and very loud track built on noise patterns circulating back and forth between the speakers with a quite hypnotic result and the Iranian artist Nyctalllz that with his work based on subtle noise, manages to create a musical piece of sheer terror and creepy atmospheres. "Pangeae Noise" is another great international compilation from Syrphe, demonstrating that the Noise scene of today still flourishes into new and interesting forms. |
