bipol. fritter away. cd. ant-zen act241
three years after his first album andreas brinkert (bipol) has released
his second album entitled 'fritter away'. brinkert has once again
demonstrated his skills of creating moods which range from apprehension
and aggression to disarray. musically bipol assimilates classic dark
industrial by creating a multitude of hypnotic repetitive sequences,
dark drones and mechanical noises that are highlighted with a large
variety of complex beats. the twelve tracks include subliminal bits of
sound that drift below the surface so that the listener is deeply
captivated. bipol is supported on three tracks by tim kniep
(synapscape) and andreas schramm (asche) and the album's mental
intensity is that much more enforced. a superior work of present day
industrial music - a sound that forces you to listen - definitely not
music to fritter away the time.

diaphane. samdhya. cd. ant-zen act244
in 2008, régis baillet and jérôme chassagnard decided to pause their
project ab ovo and to continue with solo projects. while
j.chassagnard's first solo album (f)light was released on hymen
records, r.baillet formed diaphane and began to work on samdhya (which
has now been released on ant-zen). samdhya (sanscritic for 'twilight')
emanates an atmosphere of reassurance and slight melancholy. soothing
soundscapes and complex rhythms form a mixture of ruminant and
impulsive tunes which hypnotize and stimulate at the same time. the
well balanced acoustic and electronic instrumentation, in places
enriched with voice samples, result in an enthralling, cinematic feel.
diaphane's aural cosmos has to be explored like an undiscovered
continent; those who are curious and open minded will certainly be
richly rewarded.
