Project Perfect - PM+ [Community Library - 2007]Pm+ ushers the listener into the shadowy and slow moving almost monochrome world of blunt and coarse electronics, doom laden jazz and instrumental music. It’s an unforgiving urbane soundscape were pleasant tunes try to float to the surface, but get pulled under by the grey and crude sound elements. At times it feels like a product of the early to mid 80’s with it’s lo-fi electro squelch and neon hissings. This is music to walk through the winter of discontent to, music to get lost and twisted by in the guts of sprawling cold steel and concert cities. Sound crash and scream at each other, melodies get abused and corupted by loose noise shorts. It’s dips into jazz come instrumental music- rethreading stifling emotional vibe in a life hurts manner, before falling apart into doom buzzing light bulb discordant noise. Project Perfect is a place were beauty and hope fall, A place of eternal night and muilt-coloured neo flicker that gives you headaches. Sadly the band are no longer in existence they were only together from 2002 to 2004- when they played by all accounts frequent and strange performances around the Portland area of the states and released the original long out of print version of Pm+ which appears here with five never before issued tracks. A rewarding and grim cross breed between ugly electroncai and midnight doom laden jazz and atmospherics. Roger Batty
