"MDMA sucks!"
from the Techno Sucks, Vol 1 EP by Lunatic Asylum, aka Guillaume Leroux
aka Dr Macabre
aka Renegade Legion
"Torsion" is my equal first all-time gloomcore tune, alongside "Apocalypse Never" and "We Have Arrived" (although whether the latter is gloomcore or just gabba is a moot point)
i have already hero-ized this fine fellow at great length earlier of course
but here are a couple of his baby steps towards later, late-90s greatness
good title, not quite there yet sonically
the appearance of the "marching" thematic, in '93 already
from the same pre-PCP EP, and from the side of the record titled "Assault Side" - but nowhere near assaultive enough. Or even at all
this is much better -
love that sort of whinnying, braying, demonic-jeer sound these guys all used
An early one for PCP / DE2001 i missed the last go round
love the mispelled EP title
but he was to get so much better in a year or two
that said, this flipside to "Torsion" - actually the A-side - is rather subdued - not as dark or as forceful as the title promises. Atmospheric though - good sounds and textures.
