Propergol - "Renegade" CD 2001

L-O-U-U-U-U-U-U-D French death-industrial that emphasizes "story" as much as precision soundscapes. Themes are bloodily worn on their sleeves, of espionage, outright terrorism, political violence and mass paranoia. Hypnotically looped samples of rhythmic noise and minimalist distorted synth overlay other samples of secret conversations, walkie talkies breaking up, spy planes over Morocco, the asthmatic respiration inside police gasmasks, and anything else that makes one think of Cold War guerilla warfare. The intriguing thing about Propergol is that when he is "sedate" in pacing a track, the components of the track will still be grainy and disturbingly over-amplified...yet always mixed complimentary to each other right down to rhythmic harmony and noise-tonality. Solidly produced stuff, even Genocide Organ trusted him to remaster some of their releases. If you want to be left with the feeling that you just barely survived a dirty-bomb assault, then hit that link like the masochist you are. SERIOUS SPEAKER DAMAGE WARNING!!!
