Thine
Eyes is certainly not a band to ignore. Their music is a blend of generous
amounts of seasoned loops and vibrating lively bassy sampling touched with unrelenting
mechanical movements and jabs. Techno heads can rejoice however on Kicking Iams,
a pure blast to listen to. More fast moving work of percussive artistry, intense
loops and layers of vocals, synths and samples resides in The Celebate, while
sampling that moves towards the noisey end of things with deep crashing percussion and
high pitch timbres results in Exhaust. One of my favourite tracks, Manual
has a sample I quote often on the web, "I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass,
and I am all out of bubblegum!", what a great track with more experimental sounds
structured around drum loops and wonderful synthy percussion!
This release is quite progressive electronic-
experimental-looped percussion. You'll find tasty sampling, dark melody and harmonics,
squeeky patches and scratched gaps layered on an ocean of drum programming, vocals on a
few tracks and a good deal of pseudo-industrial yet followable chaos. Most tracks
are very good dance music (DJ's warm those players!). Sounds whirr and blend thier
way into and out of sculptured hertz of aural art. Christian Sex Loops is
very dynamic, original and has excellent composition and production.
My hat goes off to Jester for bringing us this
release! Visit Doppler Effects for more information on how to order this fabulous
music, and take time to read the interview linked here to Noize Foundation and llearn more
