Title: Le voyeurisme de l'absurde
Format: CD EP
Label: Black Orchid/Biostasi
Rated: * * * * *
H2S comes from Italy, his debut release was a split 3" cdr with Cassetta Dinamica. "Industrial is the thing!" and if ever anyone has been labeled as "analog-industrial": you can bet this definition fits really well with the music of H2S. Analog synthesizers, drum machines used to give an "electro" atmosphere to distorted bass almost in loop. I got the impression that Fabio Degiorgi's music is deliberately obsessive as the sound of some samples gets sometimes mechanical like in the fourth track "Vulcano 3". H2S performed and recorded everything by himself and without any doubt he did a really good job since many "official" records sound much worse. There's that "eighties" flavor here and there, I think it has to do with Fabio's taste when using keyboards and drum machines, so I'd say it all is completely intentional. Sometimes the single track may sound a bit "long" but if "obsession" is one of the main plot of the cd, "the weight of repetitions" becomes part of the ticket. Gas masks landscapes, "ordinary life" viewed as "repetition" and s&m sex...who knows why but that's what comes to mind when listening to "Le voyeurisme de l'absurde". I think Fabio has to develop his music to the next level, but I wouldn't be surprised if after every release he'd become more and more popular, he knows how to do it. This' a collectors item since it's limited to 150 copies.
