Some may say is there any point at all to produce further albums given that the most important albums within a genre have been already produced. Regarding techno music such artists as Autechre, Plaid, Plone, Aphex Twin and the Detroit-based techno scene have made up solid ground which seems to be impossible to break. Some could say like Anthony Braxton that the second wave of a genre is obviously the most fruitful and eager to fulfil daring ideas. There is just a problem how to date back to the second or first movement? Regarding synth-punk for instance, is the starting point embarked on with Suicide at a time or should we go back more in time to such a combo as Silver Apples? I would prefer the latter version.
(029) is an artist from Toledo, Spain who has issued a handful of issues under an imprint, Soisloscerdos. Black Files is a determined case like it used to be characteristic to techno albums with determined drifts within the genre and some little slides outside the genre. The artist's techno is austere and dystopian as if living in a miserable, hopeless world like...the recent one. Maybe it is time to withdraw in corpore and let our closest relatives chimpanzees and bonobos take our place. But maybe it is not a great idea because of having similar developmental thread in their genes and subsequent activities. Bonobos (a subspecies of the chimps) solve their conflicts by having sex with one another. Although the hippies tried to mimick them in the 60s the world would have changed in a worse direction. Noises and dissonances are nice subjects as far as it makes sense within a context as new and groundbreaking, otherwise it is just an example of agony. Where are new Angus Maclises, early Einstürzende Neubautens, Glenn Brancas and young John Cales? Where are new crazy masterminds like once were Joe Meek, Raymond Scott, Mort Garson, the Barrons, Bruce Haack, Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire? How to change this inferior inferno? Get involved more in absurdity as a pioneering counterpoint to contemporaneous common sense as the damned premise of nothingness. In a word, give me some money, bitch. Pay less, get more!
