    Too bad the sound is awful, but it could be worse

    This is a fucking awesome review considering it came from D-Side... consider me sold on this album. D-Side reviews have yet to fail me (at least the good ones eh...).

    God I wish this mag had a real valid payment option other than bank transfer, I crave it real bad.

    Well actually everyone's telling me we should play at Kinetik... So we probably should. But first I should try to contact them ha ha.

    Is there no physical release of Phenomedia? I can't seem to find it anywhere :|

    edit: Finally found http://cd1d.com after a lot of searching around. Sad that you get more pirate results than anything else when doing Google searching. :(

    that's rather sad, yeah... This record has been hugely spread on russian sites. Audiotrauma is a very DIY label, so they have no huge regular physical distribution... But you can always count on the russians to spread the mp3s :((

    I heard Kinetik will take fan suggestions for next year's line up around the end of June. I'll be sure to put in a good word.

    Review by NOISEMAG (in french again, sorry)

    La rencontre de ces deux entités, constamment avides d'expérimentations et revêtant chacune de multiples entités (1969 Was Fine, Cheerleader69, et Sonic Area avec Chrysalide, FYD) ne pouvait qu'aboutir à un patchwork explosif. Explosif mais réfléchi, méticuleusement concocté par Arco (Monsieur Sonic Area) et Vx de PY, sur la base de squelettes Punishiens qu'Arco s'est réappropriés et qu'ils ont façonnés ensuite à l'image de leurs obsessions communes. Plus qu'un split donc, une vraie collaboration de plus d'une heure, éprouvante et fascinante. Si les climats rappellent majoritairement l'electro ambient expérimentale et léchée de Sonic Area, l'empreinte de MPunish est bel et bien là, au détour des rythmiques massives, décharges hardcore, de la voix de Vx, des ambiances plus ambient propres à leur très réussi Cult Movie (2007) et du mélange foisonnant et polychrome des samples. Puisqu'il s'agit en effet souvent de cut-up, de citations extraites d'émissions, discours, films, pubs, extraits de morceaux, dialogues en tout genre, isolés, amputés, compressés et recrachés dans un espace a priori futuriste, capharnaüm abrutissant, ahurissant mais pourtant bien actuel ("Dead Idols Island" et ses 17 minutes brutes). L'inaugural "Obedience Channel (part1)", et sa "part2", évoque d'ailleurs inévitablement Ministry et sa croisade anti-Bush. Quant au propos musical, on navigue entre dark ambient, electro distordue ("Cancer Anyone ?"), indus tribal saturé (le carnassier "Twisted Thrill Ride", "The Higher We Fly", l'hypnotique et glacant "Wacko" et son saxo Hintien), electro indus à la Skinny Puppy (l'excellent "Tragic Hollywood Hero"), NIN ("Ici Bas"), et courtes respirations avec des mélodies enfantines rapidement souillées. Bref, Phenomedia s'apparente à un pandémonium à la fois séduisant et révulsant. Notre enfer médiatique sur terre en somme. Phénoménal tour de force !

    some new live pictures, from the Lyon Metal Fest : http://www.radiometal.com/photos/#photo=972/album=56

    and now, an oddity : a musical video that was shot two years ago and has just been put on youtube... I'm not really proud of my acting, to say the least. Actually, the whole stuff's a bit... Weird !

    First vid from "Les Vieilles Charrues" Festival, a BIG french event (we closed the festival in front of something like 15 000/ 20 000 people, and believe me, it's always pretty scary to play in front of so many people !!!!). Hope I get cooler stuff soon. This was a special set, including painters, violin, saxophone and second dancer/fireman...

    This was a very interesting gig, darker and gloomier than what we usually deliver as PY, with lots of improvised musical interactions... So maybe we'll repeat the experience !
