Sounds Like:"Mentallica". And It's Inhabitants" CD album published in 2002 on the New Yorkean label WordSound. To try to classify this instrumental opus would raise of a challenge so much the universe of Mentol Nomad appeals to as different as sometimes incompatible audio styles: downtempo, abstract, ambient, mental, industrial, jazzy. Rocked by the Brooklyn hip hop culture, MENTOLNOMAD (Liberation Systems,TheAgriculture, Tigerbeat,Bonanzagram Suppon Records) invites here to the exploration of his subconscious. As of the first notes, we're thus unloaded in Mentallica, a kind of ghost city or imaginary no man's land, populated by imperceptible spectra. If the optimistic Å—Rd Visions" and "Deity" still let foresee the possibility of escaping from this nightmare, "Fallen Angels" with its paranoiac atmosphere a la Hitchkock points out that we are in hostile ground and that somewhere, crouched in the darkness, the Evil watches for us. Clever mixes of deep emotions, mutant strings, unhealthy echoes and heading beats, the eight titles of the release sound as the improbable meeting between Kid Koala and Angelo Badalamenti. Musical designer of the spirit, American signs a splendid gloomy soundtrack made of impossible sound collages, fusions between real instruments and virtual machines for an impressive final in the form of a brainwashing. A sumptuous album of intelligent electronica, caustic and creative.IMAGE EYE NATION expresses universes of emotions and unparalleled visual soundscapes. While words are insignificant to capture this realm beyond the senses, this music can only be described as heavy, hypnotic, esoteric, trance-inducing, and conjuring dream states. This time around mentol receives support in the mix by COLORFORM, an American producer with whom he has collaborated on several projects in the past (including 2003s AURAL CONTRABAND, a limited edition 12-inch vinyl release on Colorforms imprint Liberation Systems).mentolnomad has always been a mutant seeking freedom and creativity within a world of prosthetics. IMAGE EYE NATION is another long awaited dream manifested into the physical plane through sound vibration...your invitation once again into tha land of the MENTOLNOMAD....For all you castaways on the vast oceans of the mind, the long-awaited message in a bottle has arrived at last. Of his third album for WordSound, Mentol Nomad says:51% positivity, the suns body ignites the campfire as the stars lite thought in motion.
Lets begin in the body as glands secrete revealing parallel linear dimensions.
The Mentol travels through thought stargazing; communicating telepathically; engaging the flow 2012 times fold.Into the deepest levels of chasms whilst keeping centered with a breath anchor.1974 the vehicular wonder fertilized ovum begins re-membering itself once again with the dark rift in the center of the galaxy.
As no time passed a flood light placed on light beings and altruism became the barter for evolution.Old and new pyramids were put to use for catharsis; a purgatory that places the missing link and the re-programing of the DNA paradigm prototype is lifted.When I see you I see myself, the MENTOLNOMAD is............YOU.
