Deserted Factory
Officially there are 17 tracks on this CD with intruiging titles like 'Hermana Cronaline', 'Auto-erotic Y Fuerte', 'Les Poumons De Leurs Camarades', 'Tryptamine For The Soap' and 'Santa Salvia'. They are almost poetic or dadaistic.
But!
The counter on the CD-player says 27 and to make it more complex, the actual number is 19, while the remaining 10 tracks are silences in between 7 and 44 seconds in length.
It seems to be related to the subtitle of this CD ('Boredom level') and Pascal Bourdon, the man behind the project Atrabilis Sunrise, must have been pretty bored in the dark days between Christmas and Newyears of december in 2003. Within one week he wrote, recorded and produced this album which was released on the Japanese Deserted Factory label the year after.
The music on this album however is good and there are no traces of it being recorded in a rush or without a solid base of well considered goals. Most tracks are experiments with minimal loops and additional sounds and/or melodies. My personal favorites are 'Babylon Zama Suicide Club', 'Jesus Trip', 'Turner Maniak Trap' and the second untitled track.
The only thing that one could consider lacking on this album is the allover conceptual approach, other then 'experimental'. Most releases within this genre still have an overall vision or concept to comprehend the link between the tracks or the experiment itself, and in my opinion that part is a bit absent. But to say it's a problem? Hell no!
Other than that little side-note, this is an experiment well done and definitly worth getting the CD and support the musician as well as the label.
