A Belgian art professor crafting dark ambient soundscapes, as minimal as they are thrilling. He says it best himself:"Narration is the foundation of my work. Through sound and pictures, I'm unearthing universes and devising unlikely connections."
Such is the nature of this tour de force. Haunting. Sublime.
Track 05. Untitled. The dark glow of a city at night, somewhere in the distance some industrial complex labors deep into the twilight hours. It frightens you. It sickens you but somehow you feel a part of this.
Track 06. Short breaths. Terror? Suffering? Is this a man in a hospital. Is this man being stalked by aliens in the dark recesses of an abandoned craft. I feel as though I'm sitting right next to this man, breathing his breaths and sharing in his lurid phantasms.
Track 07. Dark cosmic noise begins to polymorph into a clear, subtle strain, climaxing in a wonderful orchestration. Speaking of climax. A change of shorts is clearly in order.
Though the author of these works may have had very specific imagery in his mind, the true joy of his form is the ease with which you can conceive and associate your own fantasies, your own experiences. Like any great ambient work, Le Gueule de Guerre succeeds at this by leaps and bounds.
This is the blood and the beat of the world. The instrumentation of civilization. You only need open your ears and you could hear this any day, all around you. Now wake up already and worship it you plebs.
Verdict: Win [8/10] (he would not feel the same again)
100% bliss:
