Artist: Argentum
Title: A New Rome Is Coming
Format: CD
Label: SkullLine (@)
Distributor: SkullLine
Rated: * * * * *
A new addition to the growing roster of Germany’s SkullLine label, the mail order specialist for rarities out of all experimental fields of electronic music. As the chosen band name may announces it, ARGENTUM are hailing out of Argentina and offer a 14 track long debut, which can surprise with its musically direction. The first 7 tracks are based into a form of Neo-Classic music. Organic strings, pianos, a drum set with a rotating march snare drum are the ingredients, but this all ranges between melodic and bombastic. Very nice work, the interested listener based into this kind of music will appreciate this efforts. The surprise then starts with track 8, "The South Emerge", where ARGENTUM are switching their musically outfit completely into Power-Electronics and rhythmically Noise. The title track also features an ominous vocal performance which lyrically refers on the expected rough things to come. It’s interesting to see and hear, that this act is capable to deal with these both totally different musically directions. This counts also for the Power-Electronics part on this album, which is far away from the too often heard "distort-that-Techno-bass-kick-attitude". Limited to only 100 pieces and once again in a special packaging, I recommend to check the availability at SkullLine. A goody to be picked up.
