hey! I am not joking here... The Debut album of Syndrone called Triskaideka (Merck, 2000) was a little bit lighter. The stuff in the new album surprised me a bit. Salmataxia is full of abstractiveness and very rough angles. This is very uncommon to the Merck. Salmataxia somhow reminds me of crazy and experimental Confield and Draft 7.30 albums of Autechre. Although the new sound of Syndrone was too concept for most of the listeners I would like to defend it and get back to the history about fashion that I have been telling like million times before. The essence of the album is to demonstrate the possibilities of technology. But in the year 2004 such technology does not surprise us any more (album have sounded in this manner back in the 2001). That is what is interesting about this album. Nouradays nobody creates the music in the manner of 2001 because everyone is interested in fashionable sound (I'm already sick of that). Another one big advantage of this album - electronica without tincture...According to the last releases of Merck this label is one of the few that do not like the fashion. They work according to the formula created a while ago. Stable formula. But the number of 1000 printing isn't changing as well...That is sad.

It's a straight up Autechre rip off with little in the way of it's own identity.

Hi!
The feel of this album 'exemplifies' what I wouldn't want my own album to be like. Obviously [Autechre] are a massive influence but I don't want to let it bleed into every aspect of my sound like with Salmataxia.
vp: I know I know.. hey have you heard anything from Marcos?

That's fair enough but I find it very offputting.

it isn´t a cheap rip-off like Tycho for instance
there are a lot of rip-off artists in IDM land imo

after listening to a lot of tycho's stuff i'd say he's more ulrich schnauss+boc influenced rather than a plain boc rip-off because he doesn't sound much like boc imo. at least it doesn't give me the same feeling.
