supported by

1024ko Timeless classic. This very release helped redefining the whole genre back then, it is almost perfect at every level. Maybe a few sequences aged a little, but each track has its own narrative, and i'm sure Xanopticon is / had a major influence on sounddesign nowadays.
Still gives goosebumps and the impression of discovering new things with each listening, almost 20 years later.

The Reaper's Preacher Music to take Babooba Dust to. Favorite track: ungrokd.

about

ryan friedrich is known from his first release 'azif' in 2002. breakcore addicts who were familiar with sound-cut masters like venetian snares were impressed: ryan went far beyond the above-mentioned by building up walls of snippets (sometimes lasting less than half of a second) into sheer break-noise mayhem. hymen records’ first xanopticon record 'liminal space' was a compact, ultra-fast, stunning roll block of sound that left the listener nailed to the wall.

three years later, 'psicicite' has the same ingredients that xanopticon is known for - microscopic synth tones, noises, samples - and of course beats. ryan has forced these bits, pieces and breaks into a metric corset. the four tracks are straight and fast, with a sound structure that changes every second. there is not time to take a breath between the attacking drums - nevertheless there are well placed pauses which result in a stunning dynamic range. in short, a work of complexity and dramatic art.

Même Mage

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” It starts off more straightforward than usually the case with Xanopticon, even contains sampled hiphop but it's definitely without falling into the trap of becoming silly mashcore. The other 3 showcase Xanopticon's skill at constructing tight breaks from tiny slices of sound and crafting dissociative soundscapes. Like death by a thousand cuts while surrounded by thick fog. Absolutely amazing. Schimpie de Ruisgenoot
