Don't Let This One Get Away!
M. Mierzwa | Davis, CA USA | 03/21/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"About the Band:

The San Francisco based ambient industrial / rhythmic noise project is the product of Chicago native Rob Wentz. Influenced by Peter Gabriel, Wentz also has toured with the industrial band Stromkern. The film and television soundtrack composer / engineer, who worked on notable DVDs including the Matrix Reloaded, the Matrix Revolutions, and Spiderman Special Edition is sometimes joined by Paul Karlik. Like Wentz's soundtrack scores, Monstrum Sepsis can be characterized by its emotional beats and blend of electronics and corresponding lack of vocals.



About the Album:

The Doors and Windows EP, the second major release from Monstrum Sepsis, is a follow-up to their successful Deep Sea Creatures album. The 1-hour long disc contains remixes from the first album by well known industrial acts including Android Lust, Displacer, Mimetic, and Haujobb. This disk also includes five new amazing tracks: walkout.live, painfully obvious, thermodynamics, push the red circle, and skipping stone that leave me sorry that Wentz actually doesn't spend more time focusing on making more Monstrum Sepsis material. All five of these tracks justify buying the EP in and of itself.



Some tracks I highly recommend include:

- Punch the Red Circle :: a very straightforward and energetic dance friendly track (it is traditional power noise);

- Doors & Windows (Displacer remix) :: typical of other Displacer remixes is really subdued and ominous; and

- Painfully Obvious :: a quiet though upbeat track (dark ambient).



Though my favorite offering on the album is the opening track walkout.live, which I hold has something of a flag bearer for what good electronic music should sound like. Walkout.live brings me back to some of my best electronic concert experiences and I suspect it will do the same for you as well!



Even though this was released in 2003, if you are a fan of science fiction like soundtracks and/or industrial music, I highly recommend you pick up this EP. Don't let this fly under your radar!
