Another new signing for the growing Harsh Noise label ProNoize out of the Dark Dimension group, this time a project by the multi-talented Patrick Stevens from Belgium. Yes, Patrick Stevens, also the man behind known projects like DAS SCHRECKENSGESPENST, HYPNOSKULL, SONAR and, and, and. He also had a first solo effort called SONA EACT out on the ProNoize label and could release three full-length CD’s under this moniker. While I mostly thought that SONA EACT was too repetitive, things do change with SLIDING ELEMENTS. Patrick’s work here, to lay multiple rhythm patterns taken out of different and very diverse music styles, has something special and it turns this project away from the often used expectation to get just another Powernoise release which is impossible to separate from comparable releases. This project is also open for co-operations and so we find here some contributions by SCREAMBOY or ELEKTROSCHEISSE, both mostly offering vocals. Patrick also integrates the influences of his own HYPNOSKULL project into the track "Clash It Up!" with the result that this track is surely one of the harshest pieces here. Other favorites I could find in "Biest", "Bombenanschläge" and the title track. This release is filled with some strange acoustic surprises here and there and it reminds me somehow a bit on the latest works of a band like H.I.V.+. For fans of Patrick’s work, as well as for fans of the label, this is a must-have release, but it can also satisfy some open-minded friends of styles like Electro, Techno or Trance.
