klangstabil (1997)
anton · December 12, 1999

this limited to 500 copies cd (also released on lp) which title means "crime against life" was released on "david" and later on "megahertz" labels. the german duo "klangstabil" was founded in 1994 by maurizio blanco and boris may.

klangstabil presents the listener with machine-cold analog sounds, precisely cut percussion lines, layers of pulsing elecronics, bleeps and jumpy abrupt rhythms. jittery and disjointed, pulsating and somewhat distorted klangstabil will plunge you into the depths of high-pitched analog madness and layered squeaking, swirling, bubbling sounds. collage of manipulated frequeinces, dislocated beats, controlled feedback loops, high-pitched noise - all these elements create the music that definitely has harsh, precise edge and is undeniably appealing to the ones looking for something complex and intelligent.

band's later releases on hymen and megahertz provide more insight into the world of noisy experimental techno.
