First full length release from the duo behind HP Stonji on
the mighty SpezialMateriallllllllllll.
'
meo ' steps up to the plate and dissolves itself directly
into that small opening at the inside edge of your eye,
causing you to view a highly warped view of the real world.
Hippos made of static bounce along to the sound of broken
marshmallows bombdiving into vats of superglue whilst a
television has a fight with itself in a mirror. That CRAZY
meo.
Propellors
created from lengths of copper draped in pillowcases and
feathers welcome to ' Errorbeauty '. Rotating in space you
realise that your thrusters have no use in this endless
freefall that you are now trapped within, and the only thing
that removes your thoughts from the impending doom is the
visual lightshow emitting from the perfect hexagon you are
piling towards. Once inside you are treated to a tracing
beat pattern and gyroscope swallowing sideshow that is the
precursor to an almightly reboot, that sends you and the
mathematical shape into the middle of next week. Awesome.
'
Amgloc ' takes on the form of a cloud of poisonous gas and
fills your lungs with computer melting radiation, whilst
' 247 ' is a lesson and calming message to those of you
out there willing to let a robot into your life. Dont ask
me what im talking about. ' Redov ' warps you and then wraps
you into a tiny case, whilst scattering the room with laser
strikes and gushing pulse bombs, loaded with bassy hits
and rewinding hardware crashes that dont want to take prisoners.
Mind altering updates from HP, love it.
Hidden trapdoors created from lost calculators is how you
will be captured in ' Mith '. These you must not fall into,
or else you will be hammered with an endless rapture of
reversing audio and reverbing satellites, that only want
to smash into your face and leave a reminder of why ' Mith
' doesnt take any crap. Plinkkkkk plonkkkkk tszzzzzzz and
pop frazzle, this is what you would expect from that damn
' Chld '. This one does play like a ghostly childrens playground
anthem as crystal clear strikes meld together with charming
smiles and glistening eyes that chant abracadabra at you
for three weeks solid. Magical stuff.
'
Hagry ' opens a synth and drops it upside down into the
late section of a few years ago, but keeps a small tunnel
open into today, and lets off a few laser strikes for good
luck. Imagine Escape from New York smoothly warped together
with every quality game soundtrack you have ever heard and
them times that by a gillion. Quality, quality track, love
it. ' Nlad ' rounds it all off with an effortless creamy
rich rippling static meltdown into the very core of your
soul. The thick gloss coating of this one is like a wave
of excellence that will not stop until you are completely
taken over. Pure atmosphere.
Well
well well, you just know thesedays that when that latest
SM release lands itself in your tiny tiny hands with its
cold gas engines that you are in for something special.
Melanie Chole is one of those albums that grabs you by the
retina and calmly leads you into its siren like callings
via a small escalator like device, carved entirely out of
your imagination. HP Stonji have created an amazing album
that deserves to be injested by all.
