Christ
reappear on Benbecula after the massive ' metamorphic reproduction
miracle ' tore it up a while back in 2003, with their new
ep ' Seeing and Doing '.
'
Fragile ' clicks cuts and glides towards you leaving a trail
of hissing chaos and melting vocals in its wake, whilst
sending out an atmosphere rich melody into the airwaves
full of commands only certain machines can break. Short
but full of life.' Marsh of epidemics ' drops a heavier
theme than ' Fragile ' with bassy reverbing roly polys that
are crammed to the hilt with smiling faces all trying to
say something special to you, as they embark through a topsy
turvy land. Rich in sound and magic.
'
Magic piano ' is a musical box carved completely out of
black space and heavy water, that releases a deep space
probe back towards earth. Hissing crackles that crush together
like snow between the treads on a tyre, and cascading lines
of ball bearings, sew themselves together to create a dark
intelligent liquid that swells into a marauding force which
gradually takes over the sky, and sinks the world into a
comfortable darkness. Epic.
A heavy downrush of splintering worlds, blasted into a zillion
pieces rushes by like a rogue stream that has burst its
banks offers a welcome to you in 'Alter Boy'. Vocals float
around in the distance and rise into the sky like escaped
balloons as surge upon surge of head expanding audio continues
to compact itself into bite size cubes, which then dive
headfirst into every opening on your face carrying tiny
backpacks of excellence for you to enjoy. Really amazing
track.
You
also get an mpeg video of ' Always to Play ' to enjoy, this
one carries the audio style of Christ onto a visual plane
with thought provoking visuals blended with a brooding combination
of memories that keeps you watching.
'
Seeing and Doing ' has infiltrated by head even more than
' metamorphic reproduction miracle ', its like an infection
that causes you to just pause and listen without even needing
to focus on the music, which goes to prove the quality is
built within. I love it.
