Sound On Probation
A deep drone opens this most recent outlet of Pylône and within 5 minutes you run for the volume knob to turn down the high frequencies. Offcourse after the puzzling frown whether the crackling you hear wasn't supposed to be 'vinyl only'. Yes, Pylône, one of the alter ego's from Laurent Perrier, released another album and it is effin brilliant.
In a mixture of glitch, drones, manipulated samples and noise Pylône generates a world for the mentally sane; A world with the intention to ruin whatever vision you had, clear your mind and exchange it with an adapted view on reality.
Will you take the red pill? Or the blue? Or are you colourblind and do you have the luxureous option between yellow and purple?
Mindboggling titles like 'Idem part 1' and 'Dense des coucteaux' describe this surrealism better then your humble reviewer can. This last mentioned track for example is a gorgeous layered analog soundscape which would fit a sci-fi movie very well. For example during a scene where a space ship is flying towards a doublestar where - after eons of dancing around eachother - gravity got a hold of the balanced state and the double star is at the point of becoming a black hole.
A new masterpiece from France which will definitly appeal to people with Raster Noton in their collection, but who also know the music from The Anti Group Communication and Kontakt der Junglinge (the Koner / Tietchens collaboration).
Chapeau!
