"Ping/Thaw" is a pretty good release, on the Karaoke Kalk label. It's got a
really industrial sort of sound about it I think... that sort of post-TG
wasteland effect on some of the sounds and atmospheres. Take some of that
early 80's mood (think TG, early Coil, Zoviet France) and combine it with
some deep electronic percussion and minimal glitchy stuff. I haven't
listened to it in a while so I'm going from memory, maybe I'm not giving the
best description.... It's a solid effort although I prefer the releases that
followed, especially "Trial" which was released as part of the Static series
on the Raster label. It seemed to get panned by a lot of
magazines/journalists but I thought it was one of the best releases of its
sort at the time (and even now)... definitely a departure from the previous
stuff and more in the speaker-crackling clicks and cuts sort of sound.
Everything is so dark on it, crisp and tons of effects and reverb in various
spots. It's a tight tight album.
"Silencer" which was released maybe half a year ago on KK as well is a solid
one too, a lot more ambient and returning more to earlier Senking a little,
but very nice stuff. It's short, but still worth it.
On a side note I also really like his stuff as Kandis which is a little
lighter in mood, and draws on more disparate influences, combining some of
the clicky techno stuff from Force Inc/MP and also some strange vocal stuff,
weird affected drum loops, etc. The compilation CD on KK includes most if
not all of the Kandis vinyl releases on one CD which is really worth it.
How is his other project, Fumble? Anyone who can offer a description... I'm
curious.
thanks
