Album Notes

What a pleasant surprise was the discovering of Stockman. At least for Future Science, an album filled up of complexes musical diversities, both for the kinds and the metallic industrial sonorities. Rhythm bordering hooking atonal, trapped in a synthesized and gelatinous fusion!
Electricity (Share1 & 2) opens this 4th Belgian musician opus on a more technoid mood. After a romantic and vaporous intro the first blows of percussions hammer a slow, heavy and incisive tempo. A dance of fat zombies on strikes that hit intensity and a synth with robot like harmonies.
The kind of opening which makes eyebrows wrinkle and which we listen in high definition. Moreover Future Science gains with being listened on high level and with a good headphone so much the nuances are important all over the work. Experiment G438 has no tempo, but electronic pulsations which are moulding to creeping waves to reverberating curves. A dark ambient surrounded of heavy synthetic layers and carpeted of fascinating sound effects, which evolves with heaviness before embracing an anvil metal phase. No one At the Lab borrows the same ambient path before exploring a melodious alternative with a light jazz approach on heavy percussion and a slouchy synth. The heavy percussions resound on a universe in fusion with a minimalist and lustful tempo. This is simply some beautiful industrialist nostalgic.
A slightly syncopated tempo, which is animating under pit viper serpentines percussions, balances a frail Ambient Electrons. Another title which wanders between rhythm and atonic, while progressing with force and heaviness. More vaporous and abstracts OK floats in fusion on capricious and spectral sound waves where reign a strong environment of sound experimentation as on Science of Music, Virtual Dreams and Outro. Careful with That proposes a slow and evolutionary tempo which takes a tangent techno on more flexible percussions but quite as effective as the opening part. Liquid Fusion points out to me the nevrotic approach of Juno Reactor. After an intro with twisted sonorities the rhythm circulates nervously in rotation. Heavy and slow, it progresses on a superb set of tribal percussions, covered of metallic scratches. An excellent title.
While bathing in a sound fauna complex and contradictory, Future Science conceals small experimental pearls which will please for sure the curious ears that like to plane between static disproportion and charming harmonies on hypnotic and zombie’s cadences. I really enjoyed this enjoyable discovery.
