Nothing could be further from the cold, pounding productions of the Horrorist, hitting the stage tonight with Nitzer Ebb at Kinetik, a three-day festival of electro, industrial, noise and hardcore techno. Since his last visit to Montreal, Chesler has been scoring hits in Europe, and playing to packed houses as far afield as the former Soviet Union, a level of success made possible by his relocation from Manhattan (and $2,000 rent for a two-room flat) to Prenzlauerberg (aka Pankow) in what used to be East Berlin.

If every album was as good as my top 5 list here major record labels could be selling CDs at 50€ a piece even today. Every single song on each of these albums is a ten out of ten.

Review of The Horrorist "Attack Decay".
Type: Radio Station, Website
Country: Germany
Website: http://radio.3headz.de

The Horrorist nimmt sie ernst. Bei jedem einzelnen der 17 Tracks wird deutlich, dass sich hier eben nicht wieder einmal jemand einfach nur an seinen Rechner gesetzt und bei der Sound-Software Ableton den "Hit"- Button gedrückt hat. Der Horrorist präsentiert uns stattdessen allerfeinstes Soundwriting. So lässt sich "Attack Decay" auch nicht einfach mit einem Wort beschreiben. Elektro wäre zu einfach, für traitionellen Techno gibt es eindeutig zu viele Experimente, für die experimentelle Schublade ist der Kram viel zu tanzbar und rau. Diese Tracks sind cool...

Being on several hits of E at the time it seemed like a fine idea but when we entered we realized we were the only ones not wearing a shirt. And being shirtless was an invitation for every German wacko to approach me with a sexual fantasy/invite. Even though I'm from New York City I heard things that night I won't ever repeat. My mouth is verboten! I wish someone would kill and eat me every time I think of that night.

Le urla e i suoni dell’electronic-body-music si rincorrono in “Now Destructor” e “Wire To The Ear” dove, più di qualcuno, potrebbe (giustamente) vedere influssi di Nitzer Ebb. Ma Oliver Chesler dimostra di saper fare altro come l’inselvaggita electro-punk di “The World Will Know Us” e “Room Of Posers” che tanto strizzano l’occhio agli Adult. o il noize funereo di “Es Ist Alles Aus” o ancora la romantic-electro di “Pain And Pleasure”.

Estro a manetta insomma per l'artista che sinora si era fatto avanti prevalentemente con brutali sequenze di ritmi che in quest'occasione ricorrono solo per "Automatic", "Where's Adam" e "The Grip Of The Cobra". Impugnando una vecchia drum-machine poi compone "You Are Disturbing" (ove un apparente carillon viene sporcato dal low-fi) raggiunta dalla jackin' acid di "Shopping List" (una furia alla Traxx), dall'electro 80s macinata dal bassline alla Bobby Orlando ("13 Dobermans") e dalla rave-techno di "Body To Body".

Am ehesten trifft noch das Attribut "aufgekratzt" den Charakter dieses Werkes - erfrichend ander, wenn auch ziemlich anstrengend und ungewohn. Diese Tatsache hebt Attack Decay äußerst wohltuend von Allerlei des Marktes ab.
