Take a trip into the swirling stargate, boarding a spacecraft, & enter the resident venue therein. Lazers zap about, lights swirl, & everyone there is dressed in futuristic attire.
Hanzel Und Gretyl manages to create a sonic total environment, which I picture being a Geigeresque ship bustling with blinking lights.
Step into the cockpit, staring out into the eternal black - energize! Warp Speed! Off we go!
Take My word for it - the absolute best way to experience this soundwarp is with headphones. Feel the sounds literally enter one ear, pass though your mind, & exit the other.
This musick can best be described as Industrial Metal Techno at warp speed. These cyber-mistrels really crystallize what many bands these days can only attempt ot do.
Most notable for Me, however, were the Middle-Eastern pieces, specifically the song " Astronafti" - veritable Bachannals, which open the doors of the Harem - I can already see the dancing girls...
The subject matter is of the sci-fi variety, with soundbytes expressing "Take Me to your leader", "Malfunction", etc., & the sounds of electronic voices reminiscient of a cylon from Battlestar Galactica.
If you happen to place the CD in your computer player, lo & behold, a delightful surprise! Encoded thereon, is a CD-Rom game to play! A file opens on the screen - just click. Images of the band appear, with different puzzles to solve, artistry, & an accompanying cybertronic soundtrack. Some of the art on the sleeve, & on the game, consists of a Technobaphomet with raybeams shooting forth from the eyes. Techno-Musickal Terrorist Satanists? You be the judge. Overall, great fun. You really get a lot here.
{Not many people know this, but Marilyn Manson's 'Mechanical Animals' contains some of the Rev.'s art on file; Rasputina's 'How We Quit The Forest' CD also contains a CD-Rom game as well as a video.}
