This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
Santtu is back with another limited edition CD-R (33 copies only plus 5 other copies with 2 bonus tracks) of what I would say is one of his most trippy and experimental albums. It also features Shane Beck on most of the tracks doing spoken words (sometimes with a lot of effects). It features 9 tracks and starts off with the short trippy Adinka Codes. Earth Coincidence Control Office is lots of synth sounds and a bit of cosmic insanity and then the synth arpeggios bring some normality and then the highly effected voice enters. Quite psychedelic. Transforming Chaos into Order has some echoey guitar in the back at the start but is another spaced out synth landscape for the most part. Weirdness Overload is indeed super tripped out and strange. Solarwind, has a bit of wind but your attention is mostly drawn the repeated synth. Eventually, some electronic drums drive the track forward with a more melodic synth. Shane eventually comes in. Solid State Intelligence is another really tripped out one. Longing for the Stars changes to a happy mood and is something totally different than anything else on the album! Shanes vocals work well on this one.. Altered States goes back into space again with a bit of a mysterious feel and trance like state is induced with Shane floating in and out. Great track. Wow.. Strange Vibrations ends this trip with a more melodic laid back track. A solid release.
