this normandy project defines its very own universe including
distinctive burton-esque graphic works and audio releases in vinyl and
cd format. provided with the typical romanic humour and french
eccentricity, lingouf alienates those who are into 'exact' terminations
and information while contemporaneously intriguing broad-minded audio
and visual art gourmets.
lingouf's first releases on the french ark-aik label might fit in the
hardcore / gabber genre, area keloza can be seen as a manifold mixage
between powerful pulsatile industrial, advanced deep tenebrous
electronics and circus-like melodies with high recognition value.
imagine a comparison with imminent, converter, somatic responses... add
a slight intangible obscurity... then you'll get a picture of what
lingouf might be - or of what he might not.
take a listen, watch lingouf's visuals on his site, submerge into an
unknown perspective of industrial arts - be caught and captivated at
the same time at the area keloza! a true journey of insanity, with a
brightly-coloured grim sense of humor.

there is a lot of good industrial coming from france these last years. ant-zen noticed this too since shortly after the joint release of the new twinkle album together with the french label audiotrauma, another stellar french industrial releases is launched at the ant-hill office. lingouf is an industrial noise project from normandy and is known for the combination of playful burton-esque graphics and ruthless industrial gabber-noise with more than average depth regarding sphere and sound. think if you need an indication of the music of a converter or imminent, yet combined with hardcore. the first track on area keloza, 'bioless game', which is ten minutes in length, immediately makes a good impression with ominous atmsopheres, original processed sounds and samples, a remarkable experimental influence and extremely heavy industrial-hardcore noise combined with the spoken word recitals of kenji siratori. that impression is sustained well in the other tracks, with 'harpman' as good example of a track that will drag your ass to the dance floor with it's club centered beats. but also this track is not without the peculiar experiment you'll often hear with lingouf and also contains the pretty humoristic sonic elements that keep returning into the other tracks as well. the track 'xozpoqorpe' is suprisingly good and the last track 'area keloza' is a hypnotizing almost orgastic sonic highlight. it has been some years since a release is on par with the level of the releases from converter, imminent or sonar that are considered standards, but lingouf places itself among the ranks of these artists with the impressive album area keloza. lingouf is a very nice addition to the industrial noise genre. please, do check the great animations and graphics on the website of lingouf too, they're worth it: www.lingouf.org (teknoir)
