DOC WOR MIRRAN, "Soundtrack Of Death"

Moloko +
Packed in a film can-like metal box, DWM publish another well-craftedconcept piece of art & work—dedicated to member Frank Abendroth wholeft earth a few months ago. The recordings are not what one would callbrand new or hot—made in 1997/1998—but anyone who's a bit into DWMknows their plenty projects are published in their own time whenever itsuits them.
Part 1, "Muerte" starts of where Ennio Morricone left, but with todays instrumentation.
Part 2, "Tot" gives an impression of a quiet death in the pool or somewher else underwater.
Part 3, "Death" seems to desribe the mental death of working in theindustrial production line. And the machines go on followoing their ownlogic and rules.
Part 4? "Hal?l" treats death in a warzone; shattering glass, fallingbombs and permanent explosions compress for an nearly rhythmic piece.
Part 5? "Dod" concludes this summary of death with a 15 minutesledgehammer destroying dreams and hopes into a psychological wasteland.
The title is slightly misleading, as expectations of harsh noise,skulls, crosses and bones are not fullified. But still they—or in thiscase Joe Raimond on his own—achieve a very interesting realization ofthe theme showing different aspects and avoiding usual shock values orextremes.
