Melómana Distorsión + Eye Floater
Amusia
Now I REALLY liked the former Eye Floater review I did last summer (Remember the burning heat?!). From the same Costa Rico-based label I also received this album called Amusia which is, a work/album done not only be Eye Floater but with another experimental project called Melõmana Distorsiõn (Megalomanic Distortion).
From the former Eye Floater release which lurked around pre Cold Meat Industry / Slaughter Productions flesh-scraping death-industrial sound aesthetics, with this we are dealing with a quite different sort of beast. Space-tribal ambiance, natural and haunting environmental recordings, floating mood drones, mercury-like synths, sampled human voices and multilayered with a focused experimental avant-garde sound-approach. In other words, we are dealing with something REALLY unique here that surely needs your attention!
It is quite a thick heavy-ambient soup to get through, but your patience will be worth it. The thing with this excellent recording is the breathtaking dynamics, for some reason the audible experience within actually makes your brain think... that the recordings take place in your own living room. The recording seems alive, vibrant, organic/human-like and it will (eventually) leave goosebumps on your skin. A unique thing between the experimental/avant-garde ambient exploits done by industrial legends Controlled Bleeding and Nocturnal Emissions... and then further into the fog-enshrouded and ritualistic soundtrack landscapes done by Swedish dark-ambient maestros Archon Satani and Inanna. It is as it is, an entire ambient landscape to explore... and believe me, there is A LOT of exploring to be done on this grand masterpiece!.
The album is by digital means available om Melómana Distorsion´s Bandcamp site BUT... I can also reveal to you that it has been released by physical means via (pro-CDR in a jewel-case) Oido Irritado Records. Try contacting the label via Facebook if you want the physical version, which is a lovely beauty. But do mark my words, this release is a damn must!
