The
legendary Belgian Electro-act Signal Aout 42 is renowned for more than hard
beats, monotonous warbling bass and standard club-sounds: the music is an
intense and atmospheric trip to the dark side of humanity. Massive analog
sounds, hypnotic tribal rhythms, thudding EBM beats and the raw deep voice of
Jacky Meurisse meld to epic tracks in an electronic sound spectacular that
sounds like the sonic adaptation of a collaboration between H.P. Lovecraft and
David Lynch. The creative approach to sound
design, the soundtrackesque
and overwhelming synthesizer pads are combined to monumental sonic constructs with memorable melodies and
cunningly dosed beat infernos to result in music that easily surpasses the standard
approaches common to the alternative club scene. There is an electronic life apart
from the preset sounds that the scene seems to revel in, these days. It
is almost ironic that a veteran of electronic music has to
go to show the young creative heads of today how to turn an electronic
album into an adventure again. “Vae Victis” is released as a
limited first edition including a bonus maxi CD with exclusive remixes. Released on Out of
Line and available January 22nd, 2010.
