URKUMA -REBUILDING PANTALEONES TREE (BASKARU) |
| |
Part sinister machinesque ambience, part glitch, part bizarre filtering of tribal qualities through, well, something rather on the other side of civilization than tribal's primitivism, ... Urkuma's "Rebuilding Pantaleone's Tree" seems to create the sort of ambience you might expect if trapped and lost in a jungle that is both ancient and organic but also threateningly technologic. Surrounded by a disturbing atmosphere that touches on one's primordial panic when confronted by an entanglement of unexplored flora and fauna as well as post-modern cyberpunk fear, Urkuma's music attempts to grate on your aural capacitors at the same time that it is generating a universe of sound into which you ironically wish to escape. It's a dark place herein, with primitive considerations gone full circle as pre-order chaos advances time-lapse across civilization's lifespan to once again find primitivism from the rubble of order from creation to destruction these compositions traverse a full circle, touching on something profound and existential in the process, as well as that which is unchanging beneath all the constant fluctuation of life. Here is perspective. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
