...according to our Brett on 13 August 2008.

Generic bring some much-needed cheer to the office on this day where we all had to start at 3am with Torture. I have to get flown in from Waikiki every day so an early start barely makes it worth my while to be perfectly honest with you. At least I've got some dark ambient business to paper over the cracks in my life crumble. This sounds like being trapped in Dracula's clock - dark soundscapes combine with distant industrial clanks offering a rhythm that makes you feel like you're stuck in the bowels of some sort of terrible machine. Maybe like Phil's washing machine at the weekend after his little daughter had puked their entire house up, bless her. Don't let the dodgy artwork put you off, this is good stuff and a fair bit more accessible than this sort of thing often is.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

For its second release, FracturedSpacesRecords couldn’t have chosen a better one: Generic’s “Torture”, a long and deeply unsettling journey into the beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered psyche, of mankind. Created using ‘foley tracks’ and sound effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting, nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead the forehead and shivers to wrack the body. Six mid to long tracks of bleak mindscapes totalling just over 50 minutes and wrapped in beautiful full colour digipak with artwork by new German digital artist Thamus.
Generic is Adam Sykes and is based in the United Kingdom’s West Country. He also records as Ritual Summertime and ran the Iris Light label, releasing artists of the calibre of Aube, Band of Pain, Crackletone, Dense Vision Shrine, and Front 242.
