SOTE Vinilo y CD

Review: Sound System Persepolis isn't really designed for home listening, but was built to take advantage of high end, multi-channel rigs, the likes of which night be found in an art gallery hosting an installation, or a club. Although what's here isn't really going to work for many crowds, which is precisely the point. Brutal, diagonal - like the label carrying it - and wildly avant garde, phrases like 'machine music' are often used in conjunction with electronic noises, but in this instance is probably the only way to describe what's here. Written specifically for live performance, the abrasive elements are as wild as they are wonderfully conceived, ensuring even at the most staccato and intense end of things there's plenty to appreciate about the artistry at play. Experimentalism in a mind-boggling sense.
