jackals&vipers in envy of man - sixtoo

4.9.2007 von mk.

For Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man, Sixtoo has delved further into the solo electronics realm that resonates with the brash abrasiveness of his other projects. Surrounded by a stack of machines in his studio space, he set out to make a record compiled from elements originally recorded for use in his live sets, reworked them into new pieces, and then stitched them together as a tape-edit record. And the results are mindblowing. Sixtoo’s signature drum machine fury is combined with dark melodic electronics/synths to create film-noir style paranoia pieced together into one suite with many different movements, sounding as you would expect: aggressive, deep, complex, spatial, and more importantly, tough as nails.
Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man is a reflective look forward for Sixtoo…something that may require a warm-up and a massage before listening. Truly a head-nodding/beat-down affair of the highest order.
