review...
A pretty bizarre one, even by Endgame standards, with a
hell of a lot of sound manipulation and live musique-concrete, hence the apt
title Under Construction! Yes, it's weird, with twists and turns galore,
sizzling noises, perplexing sound fabrics, and much more. And thus not easy
to describe. Usual Endgame then, and not at all! There's a melodic context to
much of it, but no real tunes, it's more about dynamics, counterpoint,
development - drawing the listener in, surprising, and throwing in the
occasional whammy that knocks the listener sideways (in the best possible way
of course!). Throughout the albums 11 tracks, a thematic continuity gels it
all together. You want comparisons? Well, none really come to mind, maybe a
bit of Nurse With Wound circa "Live At Bar Maldoror", bits of
Kluster, certainly nods to the INA.GRM masters like Bayle, Zanesi,
Parmegiani, Lejeune, et al.
