Mentallo & The Fixer
Arrange The Molecule
The new MENTALLO album is aptly qualified as "Industrial Fusion" by the artist himself. And even if its as rhythmic and crazy as ever, this heavy release has more melody and structure than the previous two albums, creating some kind of controlled chaotic noise world dominated by a production level that literally blows you away! It reveals the matchless and absolute production skills of Gary Dassing, a veteran on the electro industrial scene, seen by many as a unique reference and influence, together with his brother Dwayne. This album also reminds us that Gary is before all a trained drummer & percussionist, giving him the impressive ability to make his drums and rhythmical patterns programming sound like a machine or like a human at wish or just mix it up, creating an original mix of electronic and acoustic sounds. It is simply amazing how such an influential band with an impressive career and expanding discography still dares challenging himself album after album by totally reinventing his sound instead of rehashing the easy recipe of success. Gary Dassing always enjoyed wandering out of his comfort zone to some capacity and this makes MENTALLO & THE FIXER stand out as unique and unrivalled in his underground genre cos he has no set template to follow. The new pieces on "Arrange The Molecule" are controlled and meticulously thought-out random sound sculptures which offer you a way of escape to another dimension, a way to get lost in an endless hypnotic dark soundscape. It is a structured masterpiece of stereo ear candy full of ultra-vibrating energy! Nothing is off limits with MENTALLO & THE FIXER. Restricted to trained ears and fans of the likes of SKINNY PUPPY, DOWNLOAD, Uwe Schmidt, etc. Let music be your medicine but be cautious using this molecule!
