KRAKEN ( LA LEYENDA ) - CDR. SERIES NEGRAS. 2004

"A new star is rising at the "organic drones"-sky, and it's called TZESNE! This project is from Spain and designs beautiful drone pieces of out field recordings, which has a lot of strength underneath... absolutely thick organic masses, like dark waving clouds, and you have absolutely no clue about the original sound-sources. Brilliant and highly recommened Drone-Muzak ! Similar to HAFLER TRIO, ERIC LA CASA, YANNICK DAUBY... This is a fantastic 47 min. piece of a mind-bending sound-scape..."

Stefan Knappe - Drone Records ( mailorder )

" A while ago, in Vital Weekly 461 I reviewed a CDR by Tzesne on Tib Prod, and mentioned that he released a CD on the Series Negras label, which I am now reviewing (although I don't wish to make a hobby out of reviewing older stuff, I'll make an exception). Just like on his Tib Prod release, Tzesne plays lenghty ambient pieces of an unknown origin. Still I can't figure out wether these are field recordings or something that is actually played on 'real' instruments, such as analogue synthesizers. Upon hearing this a few times, I think it's the first, although at the same time I also assume they are heavily processed by whatever means, probably they are digital and called computers. The two pieces here are foremost dark, atmospheric and ambient by any account. Slightly similar to say Lustmord, but without the depth thereof. It's less noisy however than the Tib Prod release, and more refinement in approach, even when the sound is not always very detailed. A nice dark ambient work that should appeal to those who love the genre, but haven't entirely switched off their industrial music days. A nice crossover between ambient and industrial."
