MP3: Pimentola - Death is a secret

The Finns do love their tango. Even harsh industrial act Pimentola cannot resist the allure. NAturally, their interpretAtion of the classic style differs a bit from the norm. The song is anchored by the lilting 1-2-3 of the accordion, but the rhythm is led askew by the rough, Neubauten-inspired percussion, leading to a feeling of uneasy seasickness. Voices whisper in the background and the singing saw sounds absolutely menacing. Guest vocalist Aprox. (yes, with the period punctuAtion) is mostly buried in the mix, but I can definitely make out some lines concerning the concealment of bones. The tango is usually a song of love or perhaps a bit of melancholy nostalgia; this most certainly is not. This is threAtening.

Pimentola - Death is a secret (ft. Aprox.)

MP3: Randy Barracuda - Rick James is dead

How could I make it through the entire month of March without ever posting a track from my Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=383&cAt=1">Record Club selection, "The museum of future sound"? For shame! As mentioned numerous times before, the comp is the world's first CD collection of the sound known as skweee. Previous to this, the only way to hear this stuff outside of the club or a few myspace pages was to purchase one of the many 7" singles released by Flogsta Danshall or Harmönia. Now, those of us without turntables (boo!) can get with the times and dig the new sound. Forget about the trends you already know, be ahead of the game.
