Italian Avant-Noise legend M.B. and Land Use collaborate on
dramatic, subterranean wall-of-noise constructions and swirling
textural storms, dense and complex arrangements, shifting and
shimmering tones barely under control, streaming toward some
distant and indefineable precipice. Not noisy, but way too tense
and corrosive to be called ambient. These vibrant monoliths of
sound shift the listeners pysche into a restless sort of zen, a
blissful chaos - truly mind and mood-altering. Bianchi released
early records on Whitehouse's Come Org. label and has been active
since the 1970's. And a recent and conspicuous absence from the
experimental music world has been broken by several recent
releases of surprising freshness and relevance. It is unclear
where MB leaves off and Land Use begins but Psychoneurose is
definitely a clear and brilliant return to early MB techniques
with several refinements in delivery and focus. Psychoneurose will
be the clear weapon of choice for those who prefer their ambience
with teeth and their Power-Electronics with more of the deep,
vaster textures than violence.
"The last time we remember Maurizio Bianchi (who often referred to
himself as MB) producing a good record was back in 1984 when the
Italian industrialist produced Armaghedon. After he released that
cold cold record of neurally fused electronics, Bianchi infamously
quit making music and declared himself a Jehovah's Witness. The
transition for a man who produced records alongside Whitehouse and
Nurse With Wound toward a fringe contingent of Christianity
certainly draws one's attention to the work that he made
immediately before this conversion, as the bleakness of the sounds
take on grand epistomological references. It was assumed that he
was never going to make any music ever again; however in the late
'90s, Bianchi returned to music, only to produce some of the worst
New Age ambient drivel we'd ever heard. These records were so
incredibly bad that when labels ballyhooed one of his records as
something as good as Carcinosi or Endometrio (universally
considered his best and most devastating recordings), we were more
than a little skeptical, thinking back to the lame New Age
outings.
Thank God, we gave Psychoneurose a listen, as this record is so
spectacular that perhaps we will be searching out some of those
other records to see if they are as good as they were claimed to
be! Is Psychoneurose as good as the aforementioned Carcinosi /
Endometrio dyptic? Well to be perfectly honest, no; but Bianchi
and whoever the hell Land Use is have really done well in
returning to the all-encompassing, utterly blackened,
subterraneanly frigid, nightmarishly grim, soul-crushingly bleak,
death-shroud ambience that Bianchi had produced back in the day.
Expansive, Frankensteinian drones constanly broadcast a black
energy, marred with tactile corrosive noises and synthetic
twitches which could only be made by the same anaglog technology
of Bianchi's classic recordings. So until those aforementioned
albums come back in print yet again, Psychoneurose holds its own
as a worthy substitute."
