GOLDEN AGE
"Psychotronic" (in English)
Artist:
KENJI SIRATORI & GOLDEN AGE
Album: Psychotronic
‘Kenji
Siratori, a Japanese cyberpunk writer, and Golden Age, a Moscow-based
synthetic metal band have united their artistic forces in 2006 and now
are ready to deliver their debut album "Psychotronic" - a unique mixture
of experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose and avant-garde,
provocative, cyber-industrial rhythm.’ According to the bio on their
MySpace page we should expect something extraordinairy over here. Already
known with the gentle music of Golden Age this biography, blessed with
the term “cyberpunk writer”, caught my attention immidiately. And the
outcome is very surprising to say the least! This hasn’t much to do
with the music of Golden Age, and neither with the cyberpunk I’m familiar
with (Punish Yourself, Brutalizzed Kids, etc.). Instead this CD brings
you eleven tracks of easy listening EBM/future pop music mixed with
the preaching vocals of Kenji Siratori. Between the songs, there’s quite
some variation: the soft danceable beats in songs like ‘Anti-Prologue’,
‘Space’ and ‘Spiral World’ are in contrast with the more harsh beats
on tracks like ‘Strange God’ and ‘Mode’. Furthermore, we have some interesting
key and programming parts on ‘Corpse City’ and even a very cool sensitive
synth track ‘Orbit’. ‘Psychotronic’ happens to be very experimental
indeed, and fans of many different music styles might find some relaxing
alternative with this project. This CD will definitely end up in my
playlist for my next DJ set. Very cool and spacey stuff, but not something
I would listen to every day. Extravaganza!
