Details

messidor is the fourth album from the uk's aufgehoben, who record unformed improvised sounds and then, over a period of time, mix and mutate them into a not immediately identifiable form of raw instrumental rock noise. it is the discordant and hostile sound of mechanical beasts locked in a cage against their will via incredible levels of distortion, clattering percussion and a wide spectrum of overtones produced by scraped and scratched guitar strings. in time a sense of structure is revealed and the musicality of messidor unfolds ala new directions unit, throbbing gristle, this heat, and post-nite flights scott walker.

?THIS GROUP OF UK EXPERIMENTALISTS USUALLY SEEMS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS ROCK DECONSTRUCTIONISTS OF SOME VARIETY, THOUGH WHAT THEY?RE DOING HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH THE HEAVIER SIDE OF CONTEMPORARY IMPROVISATION.? AS FAR AS THE SHEER, MOLTEN MASS OF THEIR SOUND IS CONCERNED, AUFGEHOBEN ARE HARD TO BEAT.? ?ADAM STROHM, FAKEJAZZ.COM
