Jamie Blacker is back with his 3rd full length. After the astonishing “Devotion, Discipline And Desire” released on Hive Records in early 2007 and "How Pure Would Your Utopia Be" released last year on Hive Records as well I was really curious to hear how the sound of ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) has evolved. I think it makes sense to qualify “The Sea & The Silence” as a refreshing industrial album. It’s not about pure industrial music neither cheap improvisation, but a well-crafted piece of hard-danceable industrial music. The second cut entitled “Absolute Fury (In Its Very Fabric)” clearly shows the sound of this English sonic terrorist. We here get a mix of furious rhythmic and trance-industrial vibes with some extra rough vocals on top. This track is a pure sensation and there’re a few more pieces like this on “The Sea & The Silence”. The next track up “It’s Hard To Sleep In Hell” moves a bit more into electronic fields, but remains hard and bombastic with pure industrial strength. The dark electronic side comes back on “The Sea & The Silence Pt 1: The Sea”. It sounds more in the vein from the debut album, but the ‘endzeit’ power of this cut is really impressive. ESA is definitely not music for ‘sissies’. “The Sea & The Silence Pt 2: The Silence” sounds quite different and miles away from industrial and other dark electro terror. This cut is more into tribal and ambient atmospheres flavoured with Eastern sounds. It’s another approach in sound and influences, but definitely successful! I think Jamie Blacker is ready to compose great ambient music! “Dead Fucking Desire” brings us back to the real essence of the ESA-sound: harsh, merciless and noisy industrial. Male and female vocals are mixed together here. The female screams are a bit Ambassador 21-like. Another side of this album appears on the “Randomly Selected Drawbacks Of The Human Condition Pt 2”-cut. The industrial basis has been here recovered with some acoustic guitar parts and female vocals. ESA experiences with new and undone ideas and the less I can say is that it works. This new album is definitely more open-minded than “Devotion, Discipline And Desire” while delivering a few real and hard potential hits! A real cool piece of music!
