| "Lux Nigra full-lengths are issued so rarely that the mere |
| appearance of a new one feels like an event, and Karl Marx StadtÆs |
| 1997-2004 doesnÆt disappoint in that regard. ItÆs not entirely |
| brand new material, however, as it combines two vinyl releases, the |
| previously released 1997-2001 and the new 2001-2004, issued in |
| tandem with the full-length. How, incidentally, did the Karl Marx |
| Stadt come about? When tracks were selected for a compilation |
| intended to feature artists from Chemnitz (which went by the name |
| Karl-Marx-Stadt from 1953 to 1990), it turned out that all of the |
| pieces chosen were by the same artist: Christian Gierden, also |
| known as one-half of The Society Suckers (credited with producing |
| ôpsychedelic pogo trash musicö). Having decided to retain the |
| moniker, Gierden transplants the SuckersÆ love of manic breakbeats |
| into his solo work, though hyper junglisms still form the new |
| albumÆs unifying thread. |
| |
| Naturally it features a generous helping of extreme breakcoreùthe |
| hammering breaks and screaming wails in ôOptime Prior,ö the roaring |
| caterwaul of ôSix Red Dead,ö and the apocalyptic meltdown ôOde to |
| the Fate of Mankindö clearly attest to thatùbut Gierden wisely |
| deviates from a one-dimensional onslaught by including synthetic |
| orchestral flavourings (ô011000ö), fulminating techno (ôNowhere at |
| Homeö), and even mutant surf music rumble in ôGeht das Zusammen |
| Oder Getrennt.ö A brief episode of chilled respite surfaces with |
| the glistening melodies and typewriter clicking beats of |
| ôNsk1.shareoomö (previously heard on the Lux Nigra All Stars comp), |
| and Gierden even adds a choir and orchestra to the insanely cranked |
| breaks in 7,000,000,000,ö with its string stabs vaguely recalling |
| HermannÆs Psycho score. |
| |
| What distinguishes the album is that, while rooted in breakcore, it |
| transcends the genre via GierdenÆs enriched arrangements and |
| imaginative structures. For example, ôVgamzö already works well |
| enough as a stampeding broil of slamming breaks and ear-splitting |
| noise, but he wisely enhances it by floating layers of glistening |
| melodies over top. Similarly, a dark and stately march of chiming |
| keys introduces the classically-tinged ôMoonie Moonstoneö before |
| clattering rhythm patterns take over. Only the cartoonish |
| Beck-Sheryl Crow hoedown ôAll I Wanna Doö disappoints, as its |
| novelty appeal quickly fades, making it pale in comparison to the |
| ambitious pieces preceding it. ItÆs a brief coda, though, and does |
| little to spoil the arresting impression this album otherwise |
| makes." |
