comment: |
Crystal Geometry is fast building a discography to be reckoned with.
His second album for Sonic Groove, titled “Distressing Visions,”
continues on an innovative path into the bleak, melancholic world
of hard hitting Techno Industrial / EBM music. The album has a slew
of anti-government vocals, shouting chants, and cinema sample vocals,
layered over sophisticated modular bass line sequences and fiercely
pounding industrial drum rhythms. CG's latest endeavor fits perfectly
as a soundtrack to present pandemic day times.
bio : |
Crystal Geometry is the latest project from underground electronic
music veteran, Maxime Fabre. Inspired by Post-Punk, Black Metal and
Industrial, the French producer and live artist has returned to his
roots, a crossover between the warehouse rave scene of the 90’s and
industrial music, mixing Belgian EBM influences with post-modern,
modular-engineered Techno.
At its core, the project is centered around an evolving analog
modular synth, accompanied by haunting live vocals and abrasive
distortion. Fabre’s work as Crystal Geometry exists in a perpetual
state of flux, transmitting the impending doom we face in modern
society through deathly frequencies. Live performances transpire
into an all-out assault on the body, marching through dystopian
territories, manipulating sounds into menacing bursts of energy.
Equally punishing hybrid and DJ sets have given further scope and
context to the alias, building weight throughout Europe and the
global circuit.
After an uncomprimising release schedule of high-impact productions,
Crystal Geometry signed to Adam X’s pioneering Sonic Groove imprint
in late 2018, with the “Red Faith Militia” EP – a ferocious 4-track
vinly release that explores the brutalities of the former Eastern
Bloc and ruling Communist government. Fabre’s debut on the label
was a defining point in the project, soon leading to his second work
for Sonic Groove; 2019’s “The Cyber Heresy” EP – a military-grade
vinyl continuining a wake of destruction, further refining the lethal
strain of EBM-Industrial-Techno that the alias has become synonymous
with.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
