Music reviews of Silence Is Sexy
Music Review: Silence Is Sexy
Rating: 4 Stars
Silence Is Sexy being EN's 8th studio album and their 2000 release is a very low key affair sound wise compared their earlier releases. The sound on the first CD veers more towards that of the experimental then towards the industrial which was their hallmark sound on earlier releases. The second CD though is very industrial and does sound more like their earlier work with an 18 minute long track that. The booklet is typical EN with very strange art and lyrics that are hard to understand. 4/5.
Description of Silence Is Sexy
Einst?rzende Neubauten have long made a career of taking a wrecking ball to the staid towers of musical convention. Their seminal industrial excess having become a musical institution in Germany--aligning them somewhat to the left of Kraftwerk and Can--they turn the wrecking ball on themselves on Silence Is Sexy. Employing aural texture, murmurs, hushed vocals, and, yes, silence, instead of the Sturm und Drang of collapsing buildings, monstrous machinery, and industrial decay, Silence defies all preconceived notions of what an Einst?rzende Neubauten album should sound like. The title track manages to imbue long patches of complete silence with a backbeat and groove, proving their titular claim. Blixa Bargeld--perhaps having learned a thing or two about terrible beauty from his work with Nick Cave--imbues his deep-toned vocals with warmth and emotion, and while at moments the music can careen out of control, for the most part it wavers on the lower fringes of the sonic spectrum. Now that the sonic ceiling has been shattered, perhaps EN want to prove the complexity of silence. Ah, but not for long! Accompanying Silence Is Sexy is a second disc featuring the single, seemingly unending composition "Pelikonal," an improvised duet between a repeated vocal phrase and a drill--not much more pleasant than getting root canal. Yikes. --Tod NelsonGeneral CDs
