When I am confronted with something that is out of the ordinary, I start from the position that the fault for not understanding the music lies with me, and that I need to persevere and in time I will come to understand. This has stood me well with artists such as Art Zoyd and musical styles such as free jazz. But, to be honest, I don’t get this at all. Formed out of Cazzodio, they are back with an album that even the label describes as “a crushing & unrelenting neural assault that will be remembered for ages to come”. Note that they say nothing about music. This is noise, nothing more or less, and in the end I stopped playing it as I was starting to fear for my hearing and the small elements of ambient majesty certainly do nothing to abate the assault that has nothing to do with musical form, and everything to do with chaos.
