Genre/Influences:
Rhythmic-ambient,
Background/Info:
Sans-Fin
is taken from the French language, but the project is from Leipzig (Germany).
Driven by DJ Hells, Sans-Fin previously released three albums on Raumklang
Music. They now joined the established industrial Hands label, which might be
seen as a consecration for this project.
Content:
“Etat
De L’Art” is not exactly the most ‘classical’ release you might expect to
discover on Hands. The work is clearly driven by two important elements:
rhythmic and ambient spheres. The repetitive cadence has something technoid
while the electronics are pretty space-like. There’s something cinematographic
running through this work, but there are also some harder parts revealing
aggressive sequences. Both last cuts are remixes by _Hottek and 16Pad Noise
Terrorist.

Hands is not repeating itself and is daring to innovate. “Etat De L’Art”
has something of a challenge and can even convince me when it becomes a bit
trance-like (cf. “Pompe A Engrenages”) or simply more aggressive thanks to the
remix of _Hottek. Both remixes add some diversity to the work.

– – :
The sound formula is interesting, but Sans-Fin has no limits when it
comes to abuse of this formula. So the tracks become pretty similar and without
absolute highlights.
Conclusion:
Hands
is without a shadow of a doubt one of my personal favorite labels from the
electro/industrial underground scene, but this album must be one of the first
that couldn’t really convince me!
Best
songs:
“Pompe A Engranages”, “Tuyau De Guidage – _Hottek Remix”, “Cadencer Son Pas – 16Pad
Noise Terrorist Remix”.
