Review

A new sign of life from Wales - John and Paul Healy, well-known as Somatic Responses produced a new fulltime masterpiece of electronic sound wizzardry. Almost two years have passed since "Giauzar" and it seems the brothers have used their time not only for the explorations of new tonal and atonal soundscapes, but also for a re-analysis of their roots. The "Digital Darkness" described here is a dry, drawn out universe of distorted chromatic basses, straightened heavy beats and swirling filter pulses, establishing ties from the times when the tb-303 took over technoid music up to the nineties where speed increased and rhythms became dodgier. Stylistic classifications were never Somatic Responses' aim, nevertheless, "Digital Darkness" might be rated as one of their most straightforward works for some time. Their typical ingredients like unique strings usage are still present ( on "Stranded" ), the enrichment with some blasts from the past makes "Digital Darkness" a mixture which will kick your eardrums in.
