Solarium (Martin Wigger) is back with his latest release on the killer Spezialmaterial label. You may remember the previous Solarium release, which was dropped into the public eye via a handcrafted wooden box with eye splitting orange graphics that held the baton high for Spezialmaterials killer packaging reputation. All track titles are extracted from the word Solarium.

" Olar " opens off with a telling off from your binary rotation teacher, but are you listening to this crazy fool? OF COURSE you are. Your face and eyes are barraged by several scuffing scuff scuffle beat ticking light patterns, which arent taking any virtual prisoners.They continue to assault your tiny mind from the outside in, but run into their doom once they hit your grenade nose and shatter themselves to oblivion, and dissapear into nothing. "Uir" unleashes a secret vaccine into the airstream, which doesnt seem to have any effect on the inhabitants...yet. Church bell like tones fill the air, but only as a precursor to the heavy syrupy bass thunder which is waiting menacingly around the corner. No consideration is taken for age, gender or production runs , whilst the mighty " Uir" is in session, its just one long lesson on how its done. Take it in and recognise.

"Muir" is smooth and water resistant, and effortlessly floats through the energon reservoir, flowing beneath this huge bellowing city. Its not long until this track shows its true colours, and what hammering, arm punching colours they are. This one rips you to pieces with a regurgitating monster of an implosion, that leads to a colour rich onslaught of gargantuan proportions. Just hold onto something, as the bass is here to rip y'all to shreds. " " is a petrol fed machine plodding and wondering along , with tiny icing shaped eyeballs constantly monitoring you from the crisp precision cut ceiling whilst you try to get on with your work. What exactly does that little shit want from me?..... well it seems your help is required. Handing you a tiny remote control formed from dead batteries and houses a tiny glowing gree button which is begging to be pressed, but will you press it? Ill leave that to you to find out. Awesome track.


Martin Wigger comes back into the limelight with a very impressive release. Differing in sound from his previos " I - XIV " release, this one is a more experimental bass cracking, injection moulded investigation into the middle of your metal mind, and a huge packed to the hilt train of Solarium quality, stamped proudly with the SM badge.

The cd version of this release has some extra tracks, so Ill get them added once I get the cd version in.

Recommended.
