DIRK DA DAVO - King Of Fools (Digital) (Self-Released)) With the release of this new single 'King Of Fools',Dirk Da Davo,you know, that other half of The Neon Judgment, is not giving up yet, after having put the aforementioned legendary act to sleep. This 'King Of Fools' is announced as the first of a series of singles that we may expect from him in 2022. And judging by what we hear on this single, it sounds very promising! Because this song could have been taken straight from the fantastic The Neon Judgment EP'AMan Ain't No Man When AMan Ain't Got No Horse, Man…' from 1987. Just like the other tracks on that EP this new single is also interspersed with the The Far West and Western movies atmosphere. An atmosphere in which the dark (grave) voice of Dirk Da Davo thrives well. The ominous Orwellian ideas and socially critical messages do not surprise us the least coming from this man, but seen this strange times, let us not ask too many questions about who’s exactly meant the 'King” and even more those docile (?) 'fools”… [FG] SYGO CRIES -Talking about walls (Dgital/Vinyl) (Self-Released) When passion drives you, when musical paths cross, when everything adds up … beautiful things can happen! This happend in 2020, when Wim Guillemyn (The Other Intern) read the message from Mika Goedrijk (This Morn' Omina, Nebula-H, Pow(d)er Pussy) that he was looking for a creative, motivated bass player for his Sygo Cries project. During the summer, Olivier Moulin (The Mars Model) also joined the band to perform live keyboards/synths.The attraction soon made the young and eager Brooklyn Machet request to take up the guitar parts. One year later this resulted in a 12" that listens to the title Talking about Walls.A limited edition of 100 copies on clear blue vinyl. There are mouth-watering passages that are reminiscent to early U2 and the Mission cues. Even a bit of Joy Division can be heard. Goth rock songs of the better kind, one on which the black dressed can relax on dance floor, shrouded in fog. The fun and musical chemistry from the band shines off this 12 inch. It all fits, It sounds great and it touches.We demand more! [JB] RHYS FULBER - Brutal Nature (CD/Digital) Brutal Nature is the new solo album of Front Line Assembly / Delerium / Noise unit & many more mastermind and producer Rhys Fulber.After more than three decades and an extensive output, this artist has proven his skills and satisfaction guaranteed status to us all. Nature can be brutal, just like the opening track 'Central State Institute 16'! Over six minutes pounding beats and cutting sweeping sequencers. Dance-floor madness! But it's not only pounding electro we encounter on this album, tracks like 'Chemical' and 'Fragility' reminds me a bit of the early Enya and Enigma tracks, probably due to the heavenly vocals of Jessica Bennett, softly sweeping through the song. The album is very varied, which invites you to listen to it in its entirety... Like a good old school concept album as it were... Blessed! Somehow reminding me of the somewhat less infamous and experimental Front 242 album Pulse (2003). Brutal Nature closes with perhaps the stunner of this album,'Stare At The Sun' featuring the punky industrial and distorted vocals of Sara Taylor,better known as the head and voice of the LA industrial band Youth Code. [FG] (FR Recordings) MOVMENT -Transformation (CD/Digital/Vinyl) Movment return with a new album,“Transformation”, following on from lead singles (Distort The Scene) “Propaganda” and “Leave Me Alone.” About this new album they state: "There is a divergence in society.We are bombarded with information,opinions, viewpoints, and words. We drown in ideas, in solutions, in propaganda. There needs to be a transformation from where we are now.” Musically, Movment naturally incline towards a dark, electronic/post-punk sound. Fans of classic 80s dark/electro acts such as Gary Numan will find much to enjoy here, though Movment succeed in defining a sound of their own.There's something subtly hypnotic about the music of Movment. Their insistent, druggish beats, looping synths and swirling guitars summoning up a particular feel. It may take time for their druggish, monochrome soundscapes to grab a hold, but chances are that they will.
