Seriously this is the best Prurient album since '08 or '09, before he went off the deep end
I ordered this from Barnes and Noble, was totally expensive but I think it'll be worth it

I really like the minimal synths he does on Bermuda Drain. I can just about put up with the screaming. On the Palm Tree Corpse tune it's fucking incredibly awesome.

Caught this guy's live show last night, it was sonically amazing but really uncomfortable to view, particularly when he was raving and gurning in front of a projection of images of dead soldiers and 9/11 headlines - it felt exploitative. Do I just not get this guy's politics? It was provocative and stirring but it felt a bit cheap and ruined any pleasure from the music itself.

I saw him live at Sonar and he actually got a bit of dancefloor action going. There weren't any visuals. I don't know if he was doing something a bit different because it was a dance music festival
― paolo, Friday, 5 July 2013 07:40 (ten years ago) link
There was lots of dancing when I saw him! It kinda added to the discomfort I was feeling. Like, the point he was making about de-sensitisation to war imagery and violence fell flat when people were bouncing about and fist-pumping and generally being... de-sensitised. And when it doesn't work all that's left is folk partying alongside images of war casualties and 9/11 headlines.
I'm sure it's just something I don't understand rather than anything intentionally exploitative.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 5 July 2013 08:58 (ten years ago) link
i think his politics involve the intentional exploitation (or at least decontextualization) of sensational politics - in some sense i think he's fascistic (tho w/ more of a nihilistic ends than a political one): 'Mankind, which was in the age of Homer an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, has now become one for itself. Its self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is how it stands with the aestheticization of politics that Fascism pursues. Communism responds by politicizing art.' -- he's aestheticizing politics, not politicizing art imho.

Anybody listening to Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement? I got the new one on Bed of Nails since VS's Bed of Nails release was my favourite of theirs. Boomkat described it as sounding like Porter Ricks which is a bit of an exaggeration. Pleasant enough background music but I was hoping for more.
