Comment: I have not reviewed many post-punk albums which could be tagged "cinematic" anyhow. Anémic Cinema (what a great name for a combo!) is one of such acts by straddling on the border of moderate powerful and strongly dreamy, in other terms, it is something which conveys an existential anxiety of one's burden of living and impending descending into death. It may be the former is even worse because the perspective of the human being who could live forever it would be truly horrendous. However, many people act against it as if the rules of cosmic power and Eternity were erroneous and as if we were God-alike creatures. Maybe we are but we don't have the omnipotence of Lord. So we are not ultimately, though. Most of us can see nothing more than just bare shadows on the wall of a cave (reference to Plato). Just like living in an idiot joy showland (reference to MES and The Fall). Thirdly, the drift between life and death is something natural and...dreamy and of course mystical. Like something based on a plot by David Lynch. Thanks to the existence of death one could more appreciate his/her life. These 5 compositions of clocking in at a 24 minute and being a bit of the discography of Zorch Factory Records are a blend of such tendencies previously brought forth by Joy Division, Lycia, The Durutti Column, Dream City Film Club, Siouxsie And The Banshees but showing up their own measure within this trademark of floating atmospheric synths, pounding drums, and thundering basses, and expressive guitar licks. Unfortunately I could find out the issue from within the discography of Zorch Factory anymore so I decided to hint at a Mediafire link.
