...according to our Brian on 01 October 2009.

The new Mordant Music CD 'SyMptoMs' is a fine collection of reflective, evocative electronic music - the feel of these tunes more within the realms of ambient techno & downtempo electronica such as Orbital (without the clanky dated beats, natch!) but sometimes infused with some cool near spoken word vocals or muffled mantras that recall a less sinister Coil, or perhaps the trippy progressive head music of Severed Heads I'm also reminded of later period Underworld circa Beacoup Fish on 'In Truth is Wine'. I really respect the way this duo avoid the trappings of the modern electronic fraternity by just releasing whatever the fuck they like, just ensuring quality & innovation is the overiding key! I proper dig the Kraftwerk/Tangerine Dreamisms of the title track, the beautiful motorik electro of 'You Are A Door'.....there's some fantastic ideas & excellent tunes on this album & because they're not ultra capitalist scum, they're selling this at mid price too. Subtle rhythmic bliss for afterhours, this is the business! CD only...

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Mordant Music drag a second albuMM in earnest from 2009's ruddy pancreas - this time for choral spores one & all...Baron Mordant
presents 'SyMptoMs' as a standalone audio bollard in a field of flatly rejected flax...a symptom of itself in many ways 'SyMptoMs'
taps into the verbal hinterland of deranged solo sessions prised from Cable Hut in Abermawr, an injured hotel room in Bali & the
skewed Wood Green triangulation...a dolmen here, a punctured football there...Delta coffee & no signal...these thirteen MoMents
cavort in the realm known as the present & are part of an allegory that has yet to coMMence...wrong trees can get barked at for the
right reasons...'SyMptoMs' rides a fetid larynx and the Baron trusts that what initially turned him off eventually turns you ohm...listen
to it beside yourself...SingalongaMMax
