Martin Weinreich - White Flares [Say Blind 001]

Released via the artists very own and freshly launched imprint Say Blind on December 4th, 2k24 is "White Flares", the sophomore album outing by Cologne-based artist x producer Martin Weinreich following up to his 2022 firstling named "Points Of Entry: 1989 - 1995". Rolled out over the course of seven tracks and a total playing time of roughly 22 minutes Weinreich's new outing explores, once again, a take on heavy sample manipulation and transformation bordering on earth shaking, tectonic Dark Ambient with the opening tune that is "Vent" which is followed by the dark and truly unsettling sci-fi atmospheres of "Tunnelling" before "Illuminations Rounds" pairs subdued background movements with eruptive moments of what could be described as glitched out communication attempts - or distress signals... - travelling over thousands of light years only to arrive at the unadressed receivers antenna array in a highly fragmented and hardly decipherable state. Furthermore we see "Red Flares" delve into territories of minimal Dark Ambient backed by rumbling low frequency Industrial Electronics whereas "Vesparax" comes across as bleak and hostile as the surface of an exoterrestrial moon somewhere on the fringes of our solar system, "Tap Internal" taps into unfathomable subsurface horrors hidden deep in gigantic unexplored vaults unbeknownst to mankind whilst the final cut that is "The Flip Side Of The High" sets the listeners nervous system into alarm mode immediately due to its use of tense and grating midrange frequency transmissions, electrical buzzes and ever densening layers of Illbient x Noize related sounds. This is intense. This is limited to a mere 100 copies worldwide. And this is highly recommended for a reason. Go check!
