Soman - Mask

2007-05-02 / Mr.Plastic / Reads: 7845

New Soman's album, just like the devil from the box, pops out of our headphones and makes our ears dance, but back to the point. Music being something between industrial dissonance and the clubbing beat perfectly fits in with my expectations about modern electronic music.  It has energy and...
