nic endo, "cold metal perfection"
As part of the burgeoning Fatale movement which is ""a force againstthe male-driven music industry and its great heroes" Nic Endo hasreleased an electronic work of great scope here. I'm not really certainhow political / feminist messages are contained in the bleeps,squiggles and beats of this instrumental work but I'll leave that tothe armchair pundits to squabble over. A far cry from the Massona/Haters scree of her first EP 'White Heat' and more a continuation ofthe spacey, removed feeling of the eponymous EP as She Satellites hereEndo takes off from that platform and adds 80's electro-styledkeyboards, casio drums and a variety of samplings from pop culturestaples. The disc's highlights are many ? from the Bauhaus beginningoff 'Man Eater' which quickly changes into a poppy, Kraftwerkian numberto the lost in the ether feeling that 'The Program and the Brides'gives off, this discs pleasures are many. The structures run the gamut- your usual music concrete, free jazz improvisations and tribalrhythms all processed through Endo's sensibilities and lo-fi equipment.Also included is a video for 'White Heat' which is the first time I'veseen pure noise feedback being marketed as pop music ? hot chick inleather bra and fishnets and everything. Easily worth the price ofadmission.
