Void Settler - None Follows The Sunrise

I think this release redefines the experimental hardcore genre. My expectations were high before I had it in hands and I wasn't disappointed. "Unique" is, in my opinion, the word that best describes this piece of art. I never heard anything like this album before and I was immediately amazed after I've listened to it the first time. There simply hasn't been such a crossover of experimental, hardcore and a never heard before "fairy tale"-style until now. There's something for anyone on this album, rather hard stuff as well as nearly ambient-like tunes. I could add my favorites being "Her Naked Thin Glass-Made Clock", "Desolate Outpost" and "Sunset Shore", but really, I can listen to the album as a whole and I wouldn't be able to name a track I would rather skip over. This is definitively a mile stone of the genre and everybody with an open mind and even the slightest interest in electronic music should give it a try...

Wow this album is really worth a listening! Or I should actually say a few listenings, because it's not very 'accessible'. Void Settler as himself or as Sandling and/or Labyrinth, puts beats, samples and voices in a blender and shakes and cuts it up. Almost no 4/4 beats in any of the tracks, except a few tracks at the end of the album. Best track is 'Her Naked Thin Glass-Made Clock', a mix of hardcore bassdrums with delicate melodies. I would urge people not to give up on this album after one listen, because it is a great album, although not for the faint-hearted.
