Topheth Prophet TP007VR
Israel is not the first country we think of when we talk about noise and dark ambient music. So this album has eight new names for me, all projects from Israel and Chaos as Shelter isn't even amongst them!
The tracks range from minimal electronics over power electronics to harsh noise, and it's definitly an album which gives you the oportunity to explore.
During listening I wrote down the tracks that impressed me most on a personal level, and - though there isn't a real 'bad' track to be found on it - both numbers were collaborations between or remixes by Gaop and Aboolele. Coincidence? No idea, but it seems I DID discover something! *happyboy*
So I clicked to the website from the Topheth label and checked out the links to the pages from these and the other bands. Most both of them have one or more online albums available. Free and good.
I can't emphasize it enough; This is a corner of the world where there is still a lot to be discovered and therefore it's almost a 'must have' !
At the Gaop Myspace site it's very well put into words: "sounds like noise .. power electronix .. dark ambient .. post industrial .. experimental .. avantgarde but its all of them combined together with a touch of sadness and a hint of hatred." But this goes for the whole CD, not just his tracks.
