Background/Info:
Behind Diagnostic is
hiding Jan Robbe, who you maybe know from his involvement with Frame Of Mind.
Diagnostic is his debut work released on the Serbian label Jezgro (set up by
Ontal-member Darko Kolar).
Content:
“Repercussions” features
12 songs plus 6 remixes. The work is mixing an impressive number of music styles, but in the end
it mainly sounds experimental-like. There also is a fascination for sound
manipulation, which often leads into explicit noise atmospheres. You get the
impression the musician has found a sonic platform to exorcize all kinds of
music fantasies.
Two remixes have been
made by Syyt while the others are from Aethereal Arthropod, Katran, K.K. Null
while there also is an extra remix of the title track.
+ + + :
If you like experimental
music, which is mainly driven by noise and industrial you’re probably
going to like this work. The mix between
different genres is interesting, but more interesting is the impressive sound arsenal
used by Jan Robbe. I’ve a little preference for one of the most accessible cuts
(cf. “Cyberclub II”), which is merged with some techno influences. The remix of
“Sacrifice System” by Syyt is another cool cut.
– – – :
This album is pretty
complex and accessible because of the endless intermix of genres.
Conclusion:
This is an album that
will mainly catch the attention of experimental music freaks and lovers of
improvisation.
Best songs:
“Cyberclub II”,
“Repercussions”, “Sacrifice Systems – Syyt Remix”.
