THE CRYSTALLINE EFFECT is the female-fronted icy electro counterfoil to Australian composer Pete Crane’s brooding dark electro project SHIV-R.
“Industrial Re-Evolution” is the first new material from THE CRYSTALLINE EFFECT since the 2008 album “Identity”, and is an extended EP of 14 tracks – 7 new and 7 remixes from SOMAN, FRACTURED, DYM, STUDIO-X, THE SYNTHETIC DREAM FOUNDATION, CELLMOD and DAVE FOREMAN.
"Industrial Re-Evolution", is so named partly because the work itself has been "evolving" over the past couple of years (both in terms of format and content), and partly because the digital single "Ada Makes The Machines Sing" (DWD144) is about Ada Lovelace - generally recognised as the world's earliest computer programmer, and a key character in Willam Gibson/Bruce Sterling's "steampunk" novel "The Difference Engine" which re-imagines the world as it might be had the Industrial Revolution taken a different course.
Originally formed in 2002, THE CRYSTALLINE EFFECT have played extensively in Europe with acts like HOCICO and SNOG, and have previously released 2 albums “Glass”(2005) and “Identity” (2008) and 2 EPs on European labels Black Flames and Advoxya.
Tracks have been featured on numerous well-known compilations such as BLC Productions “Interbreeding” and “F**k The Mainstream” from Vampire Freaks/Alfa Matrix, and previous remixers have included DUNKELWERK, IMPLANT and NEIKKA RPM (Alfa Matrix).
“Industrial Re-Evolution” features
- 6 brand new tracks including the download-only single “Ada Makes The Machines Sing”, plus an extended instrumental dub of the single
- 7 remixes: 3 of the new songs by SOMAN (DWA/Infacted), STUDIO-X (DWA/Alfa Matrix) and DYM (DWA/NoiTekk/Cop International), 2 of tracks from the 2008 album “Identity” by CELLMOD and DAVE FOREMAN, and 2 of the track “Do Not Open” from the 2007 EP “Hypothermia” by THE SYNTHETIC DREAM FOUNDATION and FRACTURED (Dependent)
"Industrial Re-Evolution" will be released worldwide by DWA on April 22nd on CD and digital.
