CARTER TUTTI VOID 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Over the last few years, the occasional studio collaborations between Factory Floor's Nik Void and Throbbing Gristle heavyweights Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti have proved to be faultless exercises in industrial music/techno fusion. They're at it again on third album "Triumvirate", a collection of dark, intense and mind-altering concoctions that veers from ricocheting, delay-laden alien funk ("T3.4") and surging, club-ready hypnotism ("T3.2", "T3.3"), to raw, Surgeon-esque assaults on the senses ("T3.5") and clanking, concrete-clad fare that recalls the best of Carter and Tutti's early '80s TG work ("T3.1", "T3.6"). There are few surprises, just a series of angry, on-point instrumental excursions that should delight all of those of an industrial persuasion.

Review: Finally! We'd been waiting for Carter Tutti Void's follow-up to 2012's Transverse live recording, and hear it is, the trio's first official studio album in their familiarly distorted and cutting-edge style - and it's as sublime as you'd expect. After all, we are talking about a collaboration between Throbbing Gristle Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Factory Floor's Nick Void, a rather sublime line-up in our books and exactly the sort of fresh air that the electronic / pseudo techno pool needs at the moment. F(x) is a wide-eyed view of techno and all its offshoots; the beats flutter and stir across waves of broken guitar riffs and foreboding vocals, a cold image of the world rendered warmer by the outfit's choice of instruments. This LP embobies the true spirit of both techno and industrial music as a whole, cutting out all the club-centred bull and getting straight to the point: dance, sex, and decadence. Highly recommended, of course.

Review: Fans of experimental synthesizer music should be going a bit moist right about now. Recorded live at Camden Roundhouse during last year's Short Circuit presents Mute festival, Transverse sees Throbbing Gristle members Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti join forces with Factory Floor's Nik Void for a series of texture-laden, experimental grooves. For those with a love of industrial music, this is almost a dream line-up. The fusion of Tutti and Void's effect-laden guitars with Carter's electronic figures and synth noises - all underpinned by a thunderous 4/4 pulse - veers from the hypnotic to the mesmerizing. Throughout, it's moody, intense and unsurprisingly far-sighted.
