Поступил новый диск Дейва Филлипса со скромным названием "6", ибо это шестая по счету его сольная работа. По музыке - характерный для Дейва cut-up noise: микс из полевых записей, жужжания насекомых и контактного микрофона, фиксирующего физиологические звуки человеческого организма. Дейв продолжает опыты с психоакустикой. Звучание диска варьируется от едва слышных всхлипов, до громких звуковых атак, создавая временами тревожную и пугающую атмосферу. В оформлении альбома использована сюрреалистическая живопись Рудольфа Эб.ера. Как всегда, отличный материал, отличный звук, отличный альбом. Рекомендую!

DAVE PHILLIPS - 6 (CD by The Egg And We Music) There is of course a lot of noise music out there, but there is only a handful people that do something that is really interesting. Merzbow provides the real thing, R.H. Yau and Dave Phillips do their own thing in the field of noise music, and they do a more than excellent job. '6' is Dave Phillips latest offering and it is a true blow. Phillips has been a member of Schimpfluch Gruppe, Fear Of God, Ohne and Dead Peni, but his true power is in his solo work. He blends together field recording, real noise, insect recordings, cracked electro acoustic sound and voice together in a truely fascinating manner. Not always loud, in fact hardly loud, but in a true collage style: moments of sheer silence are cut off with segments of cracking objects, insect sounds, speeding up tapes, people shouting on the street and then perhaps, perhaps, silence again. Twenty-three tracks in total, all with a super-long title, but this is best experienced as one long track. The dramatic impact is so m uch greater. Play this loud and you'll be scared shitless. It might be no coincidence that's halloween today? Noise music isn't about playing whatever in loud volume only, but deals with all forms of sound that are put in some context, tells us a rather unpleasant story, which in Phillips case is all about religion and the wars it lead to. A very very clever release, and establishes once again Phillips as a master of noise. (FdW)
