Paul Roland wants to suggest us, and open our eyes-inside-ears into a different world made of mysteries and magics. We soar among organic sounds well played, a strong voice coming from nice rock ballads and above all we soar into a world of images and culture of our old Europe, not to mention a very very very nice Hammond sound. The result is really nice and depth: a 5 five star work and 10 star for the Art related to it. The tracks about Poe and Cpt. NEMO are really spine chilling and brought me away from the greyness of daily life, it reminds me my past readings in the J. Verne's worlds. That work is in fact a progressive ballad rock that has a soul not only sounds and every notes and vibes got a feature very rare in these days: the art to tell a story through a song. I felt also a skill in playing for musical 70s style, not to say a blasphemy but this guy is not so far from "Lamb lies down on Broadway", music moves an his voice brings it in a world where the telling-art is the center of the playing-art. His instinct linked with a great culture is for sure his best "weapon" to catch our attention and our imagination, thank you Paul, your dreams are pure art.

I gotta confess, I am a terminal fan of Front 242 and this work follows their sound rules beat by beat, riff by riff and scream by scream. But there is more, the artistic operation is very smart, because UCNX used – remix and tortured to the GODS of EBM classic havy metal tracks of the 1980s. For sure this is an EBM old school work, but is so nice to hear this kind of brutal approach that I cannot say nothing bad about it; EBM is in the same time violent but even simply and straight like rock and roll/punk I love to hear this music, it transmits non stop action and great strenght. From the website of the label: "UCNX is an audio assault project based out of NJ/Philly (USA) from Douglas Sudia and John Monette focusing mainly on the industrial/electronic/alternative scene.Theirs is a fusion of various styles ranging from classic Electro-Industrial, IDM, Coldwave, Ambient, and Noise into a collection of storming club and experimental tracks with strong vocals, an overall rock sensibility, and strong respect to the past acts of the Wax Trax and Re-Constriction days, without being stuck in them." The voice, the effects and the classic EBM distortion over the voice are well recorded and MOMT, we gotta say, is making a very good job selecting very different artists, aggressive and really dude; let's move ahead MOMT you are in the right direction!

From Russia with a Portishead touch, ethereal but darkish music. It's a project that follows the rules of the modern electronic style but with different view. I gotta say that I was amazed by the sounds I heard in this project, smooth, noir, mystery like a sort of imaginary soundtrack for a thriller set in Moscow Metro during the night. Also, the graphic work of the project is very interesting a sort of Lewis Carrol divertissment with some gore disturbing content, but perhaps the symbols involved are Alchemic...not to mention Alan Moore worlds . Coming back to sound and electronic moods they use, we hear strange voices, glitch sounds and also break beat tunes and some noisesque electronic carpets all of them are well mixed up and hey move in the proper way to inspire something not only to move air around our ears. The soundscape they create is perfect for a strange thriller Lynch-inspired. The sound complexity of the project is focused and not accidental, there is Brain behind the music not only a mouse and "Fruity Loops". The result is largely positive and sometimes Depeche Modesque but not so much, some track recall me the acid of Talking Heads but from an electronic eastern POV. Best track for me: the 4th. In some way they follow even the AddNToX rules but HEX ON is more RUSSIAN and "aggressive/noir/spooky", better, they have a different mood but the "place" they walking into is definitely that one. A last word about the LABEL, it is a very interesting entity that is creating a dense workground, give alook to their website; I look forward to hear more from their great, secret and beautiful Land.

It's PURE GENIUS, provocative, punk, extreme but in the same time "easy to listen", electronic but 8bit-computer-like, futuristic (the use of the voice), DVAR has no limit to amaze the audience. They use icon and symbols of a strange POP Death Dark entity and they play with a full set of an obscure art of Irony. The result is something never heard before a mix between POP PUNK GLOWESQUE Japanese style and something not so far from the B52's; but in this case we can call DVAR the BEAR's (I am referring to the B52 version of Russian Military Aviation). DVAR uses also Folk Music vibes and a very simple drum machine...there is no limit to their provocation, they quotes us all the silly world of computer games, Super Mario Bros-Like, all the folk dimension based on slight melodies and punk-pop voices. It's difficult not to think about a movie where Tim Burton meets George Romero. Irony and a strange form of Electro Punk is their Keys to reach our brain and starting a sort of de-programmation of our western rock addicted minds...the aims, their aims is clear to create a Russian Music Revolution in our mental regions. Only Russia could generate something like that, thank you Great Mother Russia.

A compilation in this case is the DNA of a label and MOMT records has carved this one in stone, the artists present are very different each other and some of them very great: GUSTO EXTERMINATION FLUID and AUDIO WAR. The second one is really violent, aggressive and Techno based the influence of forces like Meat Beat Manifesto and Prodigy are evident. The project of MOMT is to do a sort of Warp Records strictly based on industrial-techno-electronic. For sure their formula is ready to be massively used in live concert with three or four artist of their roaster. K-Nitrate is very near to some Front 242 sounds but is more cruel and drum machine addicted. Very interesting is SKINK, in his track he created a simple but effective soundscape of delay. MOMT records chosen its artist with a great attention and I think that it wasn't something easy to do, the sounds and the categories in techno/industrial/electronic are something not easy to recognize and also to follow and to put on light. Artists for a techno label are indeed their idea of music and also business; that's something we gotta consider even in indie music. Well done MOMT, you will get a very good work.
