The kraut vs. noise rock exploration taken even further.---------------------------------------------------- -------

-----------------------------------------------------------

The new SSS album reviewed by Diskant.dk:

“[The album] deserves all the attention it can get, because there’s really something to get on to. The Seven In Six Six Six wins on originality, vigour and an equal share of psychedelic excess and rock ‘n’ roll coolness.”

8 out of 10

Soviet Subliminal Seduction - The Seven in Six Six Six (Helicopter Records)

Well, this is a solo side (main) project of Mikko from the Danish band Double Space. This is some pretty strange and cool electronic music but with a lot of guitar as well. Think, 70s inspired kraut psych rock music with multi layer guitars. The music has a very special intensity to it, somewhat low fi but hard to describe. Fans of the Finnish band, Circle, will likely really get into this stuff. Some of the industrial noise bands from the 80’s also filter into the pictures here as well. Most of the tracks develop as intense grooves with repetitive lines of music that are repeated over and over and then different stuff happens here and there to keep it interesting. While this CD won’t have much mainstream interest, I think it is very cool stuff… Keep it up, Mikko!

Soviet Subliminal Seduction
Fuck Electronica?!

After a series of often brilliant cd-r releases, in the more noisy and cut up department, Soviet Subliminal Seduction - aka. Mikko Jensen who since the beginning has been an important person in the innercircle of Noisejihad - came out as a closet krautrocker, and it actually suited him.
Without loosing his absurd sense of humor (just check out a title like "Impotennis"), he created a dark and droning form of digital psychedelic rock, that both sounded authentically raw, and exploited the laptop's possibilities of creating dead on motorics to the max. From this came a release that gave the ever so sterile postrock, as well as the most nerdy electronica, a well desevered slap in the face, while showing it's very own and unexpected way forward.
