Background/Info:
Behind
Alberich is hiding American producer Kris Lapke. He’s involved with numerous
projects and moved back to his Alberich project to unleash a new solo-album,
which is the first one in quite a long time.

“Quantized
Angel” sounds like a total and modern industrial music experiment. Alberich
brings us back to certain essence of industrial sounds, which he mainly put in
heavy, bouncing rhythms. But the rhythm also has something complex and
definitely more modern. The artist is mixing good-old retro elements together
with new ideas. That’s what creates this trance-industrial feeling while other
passages are just evolving into a heavy sonic mayhem with some vocals on top.

Industrial music is maybe one of the electronic music genres that
constantly evolves. There for sure is a difference between the return of Test
Department which earlier this year reminds us to the origins of industrial
music to a project like Alberich bringing the past and the present together.
But the common element between both projects is the passion for industrial
music and the elaboration of the tracks. Alderich brings an intelligent and
post-modern format, which is characterized by impressive rhythms, icy
electronic sequences and a cool production of the vocals with effects on top.
This is an album you have to discover!

I think a few songs could even have been more elaborated or just
re-edited in extended versions.
Conclusion:
Alberish
stands for industrial music for future generations although I’m sure it might
also appeal to retro-lovers. This album is pure enjoyment!
Best
songs: “Unity House”, “Quantized Angel”, “Chilsong Chamber”, “Escape”.
