The Mad Capsule Markets

If the name don't strike
ya, the deafening effects of "Tribe" surely will. all the
while now
we're keeping in mind that they're from Japan where things haven't been
this disturbing since the resilient nation first rid themselves of
Godzilla and friends! The Mad Capsule Markets come at ya with the force
of a monsoon. they are technicians of terror, a roaring tsunami
heading straight for the shoreline of complacency, and they are Japanese
innovators, much like we've had with our own NIN or Ministry in years
past, theirs is a grand design to transcend boundaries, both nationally
and musically, for once the bloated drum n' bass effects of the heavy
techno riot-gun opening tracks have a chance to channel through your
auditory senses, "Pulse" breaks through another barrier of
expectation
and rages away in a blur of heavily fed Punk Rock distortion and catchy
melodies. three songs later and "All The Time In Sunny Beach"
does the
same, even having prepared yourselves for a little sun and fun, like
shark-jumping and woefully missing the mark. So far it looks like the
Japanese have been listening. They've eaten up just about anything
produced on the Western front and now one of their own, now nine albums
in, brings da noise to an audience devoid of anything late of a modern
marvel with the frighteningly dull thuds of newcomers gone, forgotten,
and in some cases regurgitated in sometimes unsettling terms
here-"Restart!" Equal to the pioneering Animotion video
techniques in
every respect, groundbreaking in spite of ourselves, and honorably done
in English though it matters little, voices speak in tongues woven in
circuitry and psycho-babble as the drowning effects of industrialized
motion, Heavy Metal distort and electrolyte particles flying out of
control give birth to new sensations you never knew existed.
