P.H.O.B.O.S. – “Tectonics”
Tripped out, machine-like, robotic, industrial, cold slow-beat rhythmic patterns that do not add up to songs, but only add up into cloudy constructions of a polluted atmosphere. Those “drums” sound like a drum machine to me. This is industrial “music.” The vocals are screamed and in the background you have the sounds of a construction site or a big factory at work. This is music for robots with rock-and-roll-all-night-and-party-everyday mentality, like the ones from Machine City in the Matrix movies. If you have heard Godflesh before, then you are initiated: think dissonant industrial with “evil witch” vocals. Today Is the Day, Neurosis, Godflesh, etc., all that weirdo un-music stuff is the closest family to this. In the meantime, those lazy robots better get to work, man! I’m tired of those bastards coming to our country to steal our high-paying jobs, like cleaning hotels, working in restaurants, or working in meat-packing plants.
