The final Menche's solo drum excursion is one hour futuristic
shaman's flight. The Native American drum, both recorded clean and
processed beyond recognition, pulses with the primal beat of the
earth. Packaged in black, hand assembled, emd.pl/records boxes,
with screenprinted graphics in white and gold by our friend Wojtek
Bednarski.
Daniel Menche: "Native American drums are superb for rich
resonating sounds due to the animal skin used. For Animality I
used a large drum with moose skin for powerful deep bass sounds
and then also a elk skin drum for penetrating mid sounds. Much of
the higher sounds are from "residue" noise of these drums. Much
like how Native Americans use ALL of the animals skin, bones, fur
and meat. Even tho there is killing involved there is an devout
appreciation and divine gratitude to nature. All of the possible
sounds I could create with these drums I used for Animality. There
is also some of my voice sounds in there too."
"Animality" is an hour worth of the most intense ritualistic music
you've probably heard in a long, long time. An hour worth of
patterns by and sounds, created by drums, built by native
Americans. Either processed beyond recognition or "just" they way
they are. The result is a shamanistic soundscape, where rhytms are
layered on top of eachother, resulting in some extreme dynamics
when you look at the whole composition. Truly hypnotizing in a
good way.
Somehow, this CD reminds me of 'How to destry angels' by Coil. Not
because of the music, bat that record had the subtitle "Ritual
music for the accumulation of male sexual energy" and no other
record ever came close to giving me that ritual feeling. Up until
now... What furthermore makes this release worth mentioning - and
what definitly gets the grade on this release higher - is the
packaging. The slick black digipack folds out and turns into a
three dimensional structure. A very nice white & golden
screenprint takes care of the finishing touch.
This is a release both emd.pl and Daniel Menche can and will be
very proud of."

"Now here's a monstrous sliver from Daniel Menche, the highly
prolific American wild-ogre of noise, called Animality and
featuring the head of a grizzly bear on the cover printed in white
and gold. Said bear is roaring with mouth open at full stretch,
and his bonce is outlined in jagged shards, suggesting the
considerable effects this recording will have on all those in the
animal kingdom. So now we know - the noise of Menche can even make
a bear scream for mercy!
Crisp, sharp and clear, looks like you can really sink your
incisors into this one!"
