i"m not yours and never will be yours. (william s. burroughs)To celebrate asche"s correspondent u.s. tour, ant-zen and industry 8 present stonebrain - five new and unreleased tracks by the german industrial mastermind plus amendatory remixes by theologian, hydrone, nin kuji and iszoloscope.The listener can detect sound elements of prequel asche releases: distorted syncopation, well-placed insertion of cinematic samples and gloomy atmospheric complex tones. In addition, appended elements of the darker and more enigmatic side of asche should be emphasized. Soundscapes ranging from classic power noise industrial up to the imminence of aphex twin"s early works fused with the rhythmic assaults asche is known for. The additional four remixes go with the first tracks so perfectly a blindfold tester would never recognize them as such. a stunning release, assured to stimulate mind and body.word falling - photo falling - break through in grey room - towers open fire! (william s. burroughs)Album Review:"Continuing the standard of melodious clatter achieved on Easter Island Phenomenon, Asche puts forth another installment of better living through sound and distortion. An EP slate of tracks unleashes a barrage of tricked-out machine beats, apocalyptic sonic disruptions, desperate vocal samples, punctuated by an ominous climax of gear grinding ambiance. Eclectic reinterpretations by Theologian, Hydrone, Nin Kuji and Iszoloscope craftily facilitate this indomitable arrangement. Bruised, battered and partially bloodied, Stonebrain becomes synonymous with humanity"s desire to cognitively tune-in to higher forms of electronic communication.
