DAN DEACON (2 ALBUM)

Dance Punk/8-bit/Noise Rock

Deacon’s music is an insatiable tidal wave of clipping keyboard loops and crazed-carnival-barker-on-digital-helium vocal hooks; in the studio both the subtleties and the mechanisms for its jittery energy come into greater focus.  What were once tonal washes of chords break up into Philip Glass-like arpeggio sequences and droning flutters of guitar, overlayed with squealing organ and squirming bass.  The simple, insistent drum loops resolve and the garbled voices approach intelligibility.  The undercurrent of noise imbuing his tracks with their raging urgency separates into an experimental noise spectrum of slurps and bleeps.  What comes over especially is Deacon’s skill in gradually building layer upon layer into his chord progressions until they seem to surge forward under their own volition.  But in the end, all the contributions of classical mechanisms and wobbling feedback riffs give way to effectively catchy and hummable, albeit very odd, pop songs. - popmatters.com

Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun (2000)

Avant-Garde/Noise/Free Jazz

 

"In essence this is a sixty-seven minute and 43 second-long pagan religious ceremony, held on an alien planet, performed by metahumans who may or may not have been descended from earthlings. At least that's what it sounds like.

You could get picky and specific, and say, yes, they've been listening to Amon Duul II, Can, and early Ash Ra Tempel, but there's a fearlessness to this that makes the Boredoms more spiritual contemporaries of these bands than mere imitators. The Boredoms are no longer interested in breaking things or rattling walls; they've already done that. The Boredoms want Heaven and they want it Now, and if they cannot enter it they will create it by sheer will.

It's hard to describe this kind of music. "Vision Creation Newsun" is an Experience in a high sense. It is Magick. There is focus and intent, and that intent is pure transcendence. The best way to experience "Vision Creation Newsun" is to sit down in front of your stereo and commit yourself to it completely, just throw yourself into the dazzling, dizzying alternate universe of sound that they present. You will soon understand why there are no titles. The music does not need titles. It just *is*. That is all you need to know." - Happydogpotatohead via Amazone.com
