PHOENIX
ELECTRONIC ROCK (INDUSTRIAL)A 17 track seventy minute voyage of discovery from the early dawn of the project through to pretty well the present day, yet it’s not a ‘Best Of’ in the sense that this album is all previously unreleased or rare tracks. However, it is a ‘Best Of’ in the strict sense of the term, in that it is a work that truly represents the best of what New Mind is all about – and that is spectacular! So, what is it all about? The world – his world – a world of electronics, atmospheres, samples, hard beats, layers and sonic constructions that are so creative and much more besides. Not merely ‘EBM’ or industrial this or that, here you have music capable of blasting you into next week one minute, then deceptively relaxing you the next. Much of the early works carry on the legacy of classic industrial 80’s bands such as Tackhead, 400 Blows, Portion Control and others, only when this gets heavy, it gets HEAVY! Several tracks possess mind-blowing electronic and electro-percussive rhythm bases, over which are assembled all sorts of electronic layers and samples, all put together to create an eerily perfect sea of mystery. When it’s seduces, it does so with smooth passion – When it’s turned up loud it sends shivers down the spine, and when it rocks, you’ll sweat in the furnace heat it creates. Once you start to play it, you can’t quit – it’s a musical world into which you are inextricably drawn and held to experience until you come out the other side – a changed person that wants to repeat the trip all over again – to revel in the black galactic electronics, the thunderous yet warm rhythms and the sheer resonant dept of the bass. This is an assemblage of tracks that positively hypnotises - One of the finest electro-industrial albums I’ve ever heard. Perfection incarnate and truly timeless - Let it burn into your brain – You’ll never want it to leave.
