Electro Synthetic Rebellion - Distorted Memories (EP DSBP/Urgence Disks/Gravitator)

It's probably a sign of the times that Frenchman Vince Pujol has had a hard time getting this EP released on the format which suits him, IE a proper cd rather than cdr so we should all be grateful for his perseverance as a release like this deserves nothing less. A mix of new tracks and remixes, mostly from his previous album “Post Industrial” this actually boasts a running time of over an hour with plenty for EBM lovers to get their teeth into. The remixes, as a rule, stick to the tried and tested EBM formula with kudos going to the Arabic mood that graces the 'dead or alive' mix of Cyberthief” and Psyclonicold's interpretation of “Low Life”, the original of which opens proceedings in typical ESR style with strong melodics making an instant impression. Indeed, the new pieces are sure to please his fans, as is “Twisted Shadows” which sees the first fruits of his collaboration with one Jerome Caulier under the name Joint Vision. By staying faithful to the ESR sound it doesn't see anything radically new going on but it’s another strong piece while the untitled ESR 2009 demo is indicative of many more good things yet to come from Vince. Highlight of the disc, however, is the cover of Public Relation's “Eighty Eight” which hits the spot right from the off with a bagful of excellent interlinking melodics in a style that's got 'electro classic' stamped all over it! Not so much an EP then, more of a mini-album that provides a constantly enthralling listen, this is one not to be missed but, as it's limited to only 1000 copies, you'd do well not to hang about!
