░▒ █▓ █▓ █▓ ██▓ ▐█▓ Another Great Release from Radial! ▒░
░▒ ▒░
░▒ Starting with a static burst, Cosmic Rays opens with the title track. ▒░
░▒ Distorting beats join the static and then dominate the sound in an ▒░
░▒ unrelenting and typical Sonar fashion. The pace is undemanding but the ▒░
░▒ strength of these beats is possessive. Noise waves flow in and out - ▒░
░▒ harsh constructions - reduced to melody by the beat demand. ▒░
░▒ ▒░
░▒ ▒░
░▒ This, the first unmixed release by the new Sonar line-up continues with ▒░
░▒ Sway. Dirk and Eric first worked together as Sonar on the Vs Muslimgauze ▒░
░▒ EP. Like that EP, Cosmic Rays features four new Sonar tracks, but rather ▒░
░▒ than on CD on Ivens' Daft label, this is a 12" EP on the Hymen label. ▒░
░▒ Sway reflects some of the pacing changes that the EP with Muslimgauze ▒░
░▒ suggested. The tune is somewhat lilting - forming a somewhat off-tempo ▒░
░▒ groove. For the most part the beat is steady though there are rapid ▒░
░▒ little bursts. ▒░
░▒ ▒░
░▒ Flipping over we start with Man In A White Box which is particularly ▒░
░▒ caustic. The most prominent sound being a vicious tearing. Establishing ▒░
░▒ that level of hostility the beats are added - flat out damaging. The most ▒░
░▒ brutal moment of Cosmic Rays. To finish is Exposed a piece which has some ▒░
░▒ similarities to Sway. The beats are as steady as always but reasonably ▒░
░▒ easy going with that, bearing in mind it is still Sonar of course. ▒░
░▒ ▒░
░▒ Cosmic Rays is comprised of four fairly long tracks by the Belgian Sonar. ▒░
░▒ A project comprised of Dirk Ivens (Dive) and Eric Von Wonterghem ▒░
░▒ (Monolith) collaborating. A project known for its heavy and reptitive ▒░
░▒ rhythm structures. Their appeal is not always easy to explain, but their ▒░
░▒ music for me is compelling. ▒░
