Wir brauchen einen neuen Genre-Begriff: "Intelligent Noise Trip"-Music (INT) wäre wohl passend für diese zweite Collab., die Geräusch- & Krachelemente in sehr ungewohnte, z.T. rhythmische Kontexte setzt und ungeahnte Sounds & Strukturen erschafft...
"The second part of the Partikel trilogy is finally here! Another beautifully constructed collaboration from the two noise giants - Japanoise King Masami Akita (aka Merzbow) and Swedish Lord Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh etc). The styles on 'Partikel II' range from total noise barrages to more subtle dark ambient pieces. Essential! Presented in a luxurious matt laminate digipak." [label press release]
"...Strange bedfellows maybe, but the results here, as on the first installment, are pretty mind-blowing. Akita generated the sounds, Nordvargr took those sounds and twisted them into completely new forms, the result some strange noise/drone/rhythm hybrid that is
WAY more listenable than it has any right to be..[...] Partikel II is IDM for the demon set, a blackened noise drenched skitter, an abstract metallic free-electronica, and a definite droney dancefloor filler, that is if you want your dancefloor filled with shuffling zombies, growling beasts and
unspeakable denizens of the underworld...And who doesn't?!" [Aquarius Records]
