Background/Info:
I
never heard of Final Fall before this cassette –album featuring five cuts. This
is an American formation hailing from Southern California and this must be
their second work. It also is important to mention the band stopped its
activities after this release.
Content:
“Capitalizm”
is a varied work, which moves from minimal-electronics towards pure
experimental passages. The tempo remains rather slow and all of the tracks are
instrumentals. The most noticeable cut is “No Frills No Fun” taking the
listener in its grip for 30 minutes. There’re multiple influences running
through this song, but I especially noticed an electro-ritual passage mixed
with the rhythm of a heartbeat.

I like the minimal approach of this project, which is clearly based upon
intelligent although experimental sound treatments. The diversity of the work
creates a kind of ‘freestyle”. The already mentioned “No Frills No Fun” is a
real attention grabber, but I prefer the last song “Last Chance To Ecstasy”
revealing cool, icy arrangements.

I’m not in for the more experimental “Into Oblivion”. I think it could
be interesting to see this project evolving a few vocal lines and/or spoken
samplings.
Conclusion:
Final
Fall is a fascinating discovery revealing a sound with a unique and somewhat anarchistic
approach. I’m really wondering how the next work will sound-like.
Best
songs: “Last Chance To Ecstasy”, “No Frills No Fun”, “Filthy Prick”.
