This time a duo from San Francisco offers a new album entitled Flatliner, released on Artoffact records. Apart from 6 pieces, previously known and being a result of cooperation with Tundra Dubs, the new record features 10 remixes created by a group of artists that can be associated with both industrial music and witch-house.
"Current" in a version of Unison shows more teeth and gets more predatory. Its dynamics increases insignificantly and the vocal becomes more depicted. Subdued tones of the original, constituting the basis of the composition, turn into more "jerked", synthetic sounds.
The song presents itself in an entirely new dimension in the second remix, which Andras was responsible for. Here, the beginning appears more ominous, while the vocal seems to be the background for intensive chords made by means of arpeggio method.
Another piece, "Black Cross" has also lived to see two new versions of itself. The first variant comes from Dead When I Found Her and brings along much more energy and resiliency than the original. Michael Holloway sketches the music with short sounds, putting more electro vibe into it.
"The Black Cross" in the interpretation of vo1d was prolonged to almost six minutes. The vocals undergoes the pick-up. This time the piece distinguishes itself with bass that buzzes in the background.
"Choke" interpreted by Chrysalide is in my opinion the best remix on the record. The vocal line was complemented by screams. The beginning of the piece appreas to be harshly reorganized, only regularly pounding rhythm is a foundation of the vocal, as well as the sounds of shoots, also audible in the original. Only in the middle of the piece the artists let it be indulged by preliminary cyberpunk tones, which later preempted by mild musical waves.
"Mirrors fade" varied by Ceremonial Dagger is distinctively heavier than the original. I think that the piece could indubitably be included on a soundtrack for a decent horror movie. The vocals were lowered to almost diabolic sounds, whereas steady tones introduce a sort of psychedelia, straight from the crypt.
While "Flatilner" reshashed by Encephalon does not captivate with either the concept or the performance, the track turns out far more interesting in the remix of Haujobb. The band has entirely give up on the idea of piano parts, audible every so often, in favor of squeaky sounds, which can be associated with those of insects.
"Emptiness" comprises a reprise of "Current", however, in the version of Textbeak it appears to be the weakest link of the record. It is difficult to find any idea which the remix would be based on, it differs too little from the original. Leaving aside a petite (in my opinion) sort of cacophony, more or less in the middle of the piece.
