Michael Idehall - Deep Code Sun
Listening to Idehall's sound, one could be forgiven for thinking of Psychic TV, Coil and similar, esoterically inclined artists. Not that his "seancetronica", as he names his music, really sound like any of those, but he - or whatever unseen force is imprinted into his machines - conjures up the same emotional states. This album which contains two of his works previously released on tape appears as a journey of sorts, a search for what lies beyond the conscious mind.
It is naked and physical music, sweaty, sexual, and sublime but at the same time obscure and ethereal, forcing the listener into a state of ecstatic trance and captivated paralysis. A ritualistic maelstrom of dark, unsettling tunes where syncopated death industrial and disturbing ambience walk hand in hand, overlaid with desperate vocal declamations. Idehall warns us that: "This music should be engaged with caution and it should be regarded as a series of conditioned technomantical experiments" but should you choose to follow him, you will be greatly rewarded.
