Marax | Drug Murder Sex Orgy Split - Troniks C20 - 2000
Marax/DMSO split CS
5/10 - [Troniks]
Marax starts with one track, "Orgasmic Bludgeon Trauma", beginning with strange rhythmic pulses that explode into a traditional harsh noise onslaught. While this "take no prisoners" approach could be held up against the best, I wish it retained the innovation of the introduction. Though moments of excellence occur, nothing is as intriguing as the opening moments, and the one piece of approximately 10 minutes in length ends up being rooted in standard noise. Not bad, just not his finest moment. I know the project is capable of far greater things. DMSO (Drug Murder Sex Orgy) is a silly name for a relatively nice project. The opening track, "X-Rate", contains unusual music loops and a tribal beat. Unfortunately, this is ruined by samples taken from porno movies. Come on, samples of women moaning is so fucking overdone. Why ruin an otherwise excellent composition? The final track is made up of quiet, distorted vocals and brooding synth tones. I can't decipher any lyrics, but the textures are relatively cool. I would prefer the first track, but those samples just kill the atmosphere. This is an extremely promising project, I just recommend more originality in the conceptual approach. The cassette is package in a ziploc bag with a xeroxed sleeve (similar to other split releases of this series). [Aversonline]
