Subliminal

Subliminal, a Galakthorrö project next to Haus Arafna, and just as ominous and secretive as its better-known label colleagues, offers analogue sound collages which perfectly bridge the gap between power electronics, noise and ambient. Very structured sounds are distorted, blurred and merged with echo effects, screams and voice samples; are endowed with throbbing rhythms quite similar to organic beats and pulsations; and incessantly are covered by a flow of hissing, induced noises which build up to complex aural artifacts. Monotonous and yet not repetitive, pain-inducing and yet rewarding, this record is a true gem for an attentive listener. Played at high volume this is a sure bet to unsettle one's neighbors and awake them to feverish, nightmarish unrest.
