ARTIST: KLINIK
TITLE: Projects
LABEL: HANDS PRODUCTIONS |
|
| DESCRIPTION: The only link with The Klinik of this release is the fact that it features all the side-project of Marc Verhaeghen (musical mind of The Klinik). This Belgian master of dark electronics has been involved in numerous projects during the great Klinik period, but especially during the last years of the first period of the band. The main and most famous side-project has been for sure Noise Unit, which he set up together with Bill Leeb and Rhys Fülber (Frontline Assembly). I remember the first albums of this project released on the great Antler label. The sound was quite FLA-like (the early years) with the more experimental approach of M. Verhaeghen on top. We here get back to the debut-cd (originally released on vinyl in 1989) “Grinding Into Emptiness” and “Response Frequency” (from 1990). Quite efficient and convincing back in time, the songs now sound quite out of time. And yet I can’t leave a smile and some satisfaction when hearing back tracks like “Dry Lungs”, “Ritualistic”, “Homage” and especially “Agitate”. The first disc ends with X10 (featuring Tec Trance) another late project of M. Verhaeghen. The extracted songs dated from the album released in 1992. This project was the less darker one of the Klinik-writer, but couldn’t never totally convince the scene. The tracks extract from the “Semblance”-album, which here appears on the second disc were a bit more attractive. Marc Verhaeghen here collaborated with N. Mono. Anyway X10 has been never a worth to listen for me! Another project featured on the second disc is Para. This was a project he set up with Sabine Voss. Being partly more atmospheric than The Klinik, several songs were definitely very Klinik-like (but without the vocals of Dirk Ivens). The more Klinik-like songs remain the best ones and I’ll mention here “Dich”, “Achterbahn”, “Fit Of Diffimus” and “Nachrichten”. A last project on this album is D.Sign, which resulted from the common efforts of Die Form and M. Verhaeghen. It’s a pity that we only get one single Mcd from this project entitled “Burning Cells”. You for sure recognize the typical Die Form sequences and the vocals of Eliane P. The song “Brain Overload” remains quite efficient (even nearly 17 years after date)! I’m afraid this “Projects”-release will interest less young fans of the scene while evoke some memories (and even some good ones) to the older fans. This is more like a collector item than a real musical high light “SIDELINE” |
