Having consistently produced some of the world's most abrasive and original electronic music for the past 8 years, new album "Giazuar" offers complex beat structures giving way to pulsing electro dirtied up in unique Somatic Responses style. Brothers John & Paul Healy create a tripped out modern industrial masterpiece - fascinating sonic structures mixed with pounding rhythmic fuel for the dance floor - "Giazuar" presents Somatic Responses at their most explosive yet !
The brothers john and paul healy have consistently produced some of the world's most abrasive and original electronic music for the past 8 years and are recognized as one of the finest abstract, beat-artists around. Remixing acts like kid 606 and gridlock as well as releasing several albums, 12"es and compilation tracks, somatic responses have become a household name in experimental electronic music. Somatic responses reanimate classic electronic music styles with distortion and tempo to create a new futuristic sound which never sounds like a citation.
This album, dedicated to the memory of the brothers' father john healy, ranges between dark rhythmic downtempo pieces ('b boy 3000), hard-driven broken beats ('shell') and threatening, soundtrackish electro-ambience, evoking the memory of john carpenter as viewed through bullet-shattered glass ('heliuminum'). Somatic responses see you out on a swirling bed of synth clouds, bring to close an album which proves the ruptured hard-drives of broken-beated chaos can still elicit emotions beyond those of confused tedium. Diversified and ingenious is the shortest way to describe this new album. This album leaves you breathless although you didn't move.
