Fukte - Pet Therapy [Toxic Industries - 2010]

Don’t be fooled by the  cute oriental bunny girl on the front cover of  ‘Pet  Therapy’- there’s nothing cute, cuddle or nice about this slice of sonic nastiness. On offer here are two lengthy slices of thick & brain boiling, to  fairly minimalistic & ear scrubbing HNW matter.

This Italian based project offers up here just under fifty five minutes of ‘wall’ making, and up first we have the first untitled track which comes in just shy of the twenty four minute mark and it starts out with a thick cooling lava type rolling bass seared Harsh wall tone. As the track moves onto to a few minutes old  the pace starts to pick up a little moving into  a slow furnace roar or rich speaker rumble that turns to more slow static hacking abuse. The rest of the track nicely alternates between these three variations on the ‘wall’ & it keeps nicely thick, obsessive & weighty  through-out.  I’m like the slower more crushing slides of the track that really weigh down on you in a very effective manner.

The second untitled track is slightly longer at just shy of the half an hour mark & it starts out with a thick metallic scrubbing & rotating tone which sounds like a mixture of a  huge industrial washing machine drum churn ‘n’ rotate and a circular scoring tone.  This revolves around in quite a hypnotic manner for the first eleven minutes or so of the track; with Fukte adding in some nice building tension & aggressive sub-tones as things get thicker. By the twelve minute mark a thick bass wasp buzz feed-back smothers & smashers the other tones. Then by the thirteen minute mark the bass feedback storm has cleared & we’re left with a long feedback drone & this quite stripped but active machine tone loop that rather brought to mind the sound of a industrial sawing machine; these elements last untill the end of  the track, through Fukte manipulates this cable shorting tone to quite caustic levels towards the very end of the track.

All told two competent, enjoyable enough & nasty slices of ‘wall’ making that have quite a crude industrial feel about them from time to time.
