Flavor of the Week #32

Velvet Acid Christ
www.velvetacidchrist.com
( ;D --> Velvet Acid Christ had their origins in an 80's high school electronics class, where Bryan and Chris would debate the merits of Amiga versus Atari. Bryan and Grigory Bilham (an early member of VAC) were at the time working in a punk/funk band, which, by 1990, was altered to the trio of Bryan, Chris, and Grig. The band's name was originally Cyberchrist, although this was changed within a few months to Velvet Acid Christ, named (so they say) in honor of a bad acid trip. Grig left the band in 1992, leaving the core of Bryan and Chris (although various other people have had revolving door membership in the band). Bryan and Chris cite a number of influences to their hard driving industrial sound, including Legendary Pink Dots, the Cure, Skinny Puppy, Orbital, and a surprising number of metal bands, including Napalm Death, Godflesh, and Metallica. They also expose a number of social issues, including animal rights and their concern regarding the basic survival of mankind against the onslaught of technoloy. VACs masterpiece and most recent full-length CD release Lust For Blood is possibly VACs most complete and diverse album in the past ten years. Lust For Blood is an aggressive return for one of electronic music’s most prolific artists. Angry and other times haunting vocals are forged to incessant beats, permeating melodies, and relentless bass lines. As an homage to early electronic music, guitars are once again introduced into the mix of patches, pads and circuits.)

Talvekoidik

( ;D --> Due to causality, on one certain point you have to decide to change the language or turn silent because everything has been said. Usually I wont choose the easy way, hence the new language keeps me going, offers new paths of expression. At first it was tough to say yes wherever I said no before, to let go some habits, some structures or processes I worked on before. It still is a process of learning, dealing with my limited abilities and growing with the contradiction between what I have in mind and what comes out in the end. Actually the contradiction is what inspires me a lot in making music. Often I come across some elements, structures or sounds I never thought of. I guess thats what people call “playing” with music.)

( ;D --> Lowfish, a.k.a. Toronto's Gregory de Rocher, ranks amoung the worlds leading post electro and electronica producers. Active since 1996 he has released records on some of independent dance music's most influential labels, has charted in North America and is noted for his punishing sets of live electronics. His clinical production style is both very modern and built on the DNA of early new wave and IDM.)
Test​(​e)
lowfish.bandcamp.com/album/test-e
( ;D --> Originally self-released as a tape under the artist name Pest(e), this 1996 collection of IDM and analog electronics is in fact the debut Lowfish album. Intended as a demo, it caught the attention of infamous UK label Skam —but after months of fruitless phone tag with the label, it was time for Gregory De Rocher to strike out on his own. Dropping his Pest(e) moniker in favour of Lowfish, in 1997 De Rocher co-founded Suction Records with like-minded producer Jason Amm, aka Solvent. While that Test(e) tape wasn’t technically a Suction Records release, it served as the impetus for starting the label, and we’ve always referred to it as catalog # suction000.)
