off putting for a start.Babyflesh who formed around 9 years ago in Norway.Savour and relish music that confronts your deepest fears and anxieties.One of the finds
of the year so far.It's hardly surprising then that New Wave of Cynicism brings forth another onslaught of industrialised noise from this Danish outfit.New Wave of Cynicism is the second release from Babyflesh, following Curiosity Killed the Angel which was released on Slaughter Productions in 2002.Babyflesh opt for structured noise, with layered and cyclical noise, or stuttering analogue electronics with machine rhythms.Recorded over a two year period this may herald a New Wave of Cynicism, but this is old school industrial noise, right down to the stark black and white cover visuals of plain typefaces and badly reproduced passport photographs.For more information go to www.This is the proper debut from this Norwegian experimental outfit, but I'm sort of torn on what to make of it.The label views this as "the only the death industrial release to come out of Norway", but I'm not even sure I'd classify it as death industrial."Bridges Are for Burning" is just a brief intro of eerie ambient soundscapes, while "The Fight is On" is somewhat of a boring composition built around nearly seven minutes of the same percussive loop that does have an interesting aesthetic, but wears thin due to its lack of movement.Sadly that's the biggest setback I find on the entire CD: Most all of the songs run around six to seven minutes each (some more, some less) and revolve far too heavily around repetitive loops that don't carry enough weight to keep things interesting.The distortion is a little louder, there's more grit involved, the vocals are more traditionally shouted and certainly have that UK power electronics kind of thing happening, and so on.The layout is all done in black and white with lots of raw textures that sort of look like dirty xeroxes, but of course to a higher degree of quality and artistry, so it actually looks really stark and effective.Despite being one of the longer pieces, "Here Comes the Pain" makes the best use of repetition by carrying along at a more subdued pace and adding in samples and additional layers of texture that aren't as stolid as the loops, and that's something I'd prefer to hear explored further, along with the more in your face stylings of "You or Me".This review has been displayed 1153 times.Separate multiple email addresses with commas, but no spaces.
