HYSTERSIS - 8PMCITYSCAPES : A SOUNDTRACK FOR THE RESTLESS (3"CDR by Betontoon) Hystersis is the name of a solo project established by Rotterdam-based sound artist who has a background in the black metal and the industrial scene. On this debut as Hystersis, the artist makes a slight change in expression with a more abstract electronic work taking its starting point in field recordings of city life. Despite the focus on concrete samples of recordings from cities such as Hamburg, London, Bangkok and Rotterdam, there are much melody and emotions hidden in the five tracks of the album, with a total runtime of 24 minutes. First of all the sound of guitar is an important source besides the field recordings. Stylish the guitar-passages range from postrock-gentle spheres to more fast and furious riffs of black metal-style as on third intersection titled "Streetpreacher". Main piece of the album is the 10-minutes running piece "Beacon 996", that sounds similar to postrock-legends in Mogwai due to the development from fragile strumming to more noise-rock-based textures towards the end. Only a limited edition of 50 copies, so listeners of postrock should hurry and get a copy. Highly recommended! (NM) Address: http://www.betontoon.com/.
