| With "The Crackling of the Anonymous" Knut Enderlein and René Lehmann continued the cosmic concept of "Aldebaran". The title describes "the symbol of a bright shining unexpected impact, followed by a calm vibration, as a kind of disharmonic phenomena whose repolarisation is effected through divine signs or even through anonymous factors. The radiance emitted by such gates of incidence can also have a physical effect and can even be visible, but of course people almost always only see that which they believe and only in seldom cases that which they cannot fathom. But the meaning and purpose of all manifestation is the coming into consciousness that results from these fields of radiation. Here, the symblic overcoming of pain takes place, a cosmic necessity that precedes all realization. In this context, pain does not correspond to physical suffering but instead is the threshhold to the vortex of life which in turn leads to eternity." (Black, Autumn 2000). This idea directly refers to the sound space which is conjured up by the music: "an aural journey, guiding the listener into a transcendent cosmic state of agitation full of kinetic structures, bizarre shapes and titanic sculptures." (ibid). Even though it was conceived as a sequel to "Aldebaran", "Crackling…" has turned out to be decisively more complex and multi-layered. Since the last album, the musicians had developed a new and unique stylistic attribute on a few singles and contributions to compilations: a turbine like rhythm and heavily delayed beats that seem to weigh in with tons of force. This sound was perfected on the piece "Cherub" from the "Saturn Gnosis" 10" box and on track 3 of "Crackling…": "Chapel Perilous". Similar elements were already hinted at on parts of "Burning Flesh" but now reached markedly increased tonal depth.
With The Crackling Of The Anonymous, Inade move beyond all pre- conceived notions of sonic creativity. The plethora of puzzl
A stunning release that defies all logic because it creates its own. |
