Chitarre (ITA)
This review shouldn't remain in a guitar oriented area of the magazine, and not because there's no guitar in the album, but because this record takes us back at least thirty years ago, when albums were written by musicians with ideas, not with a computer.

We're not new to these kinds of records, after a few years spent learning to understand musical projects such as "Consorzio Produttori Indipendenti".

Hypnoise would have been perfect for them and made us immediately think about one thing: don't they have anything to do?

I mean, where did they found time to record this project, (this is their second), using tube Revox tape machines, old tube radios from the '30s, empty miked demijons, eight track tape recorders, violin bows to play electric bass and last, including a sort of very long and curious biography of more that 10 pages?

Which crazy person, even if from Venice, would hope modern people would "waste time" to try to understand and listen to a so unusual musical
project?

I don't know if we can because we're critics and musicians but, THAT CRAZY GUY WAS RIGHT!

At the first listen the guitar work is very interesting, mysterious P. Mike III knows very well the vintage sounds and guitar skills of the "golden age" and knows even better how to reproduce them, with a light distortion, some tremolo, the right delay in the right place, cool guitar style, and the music is there.

You can find some Pink Floyd, Clash, Hendrix and much more mixed with some 90's grunge.

Because of this we appreciated the album.

You' may be wondering if an album today, has to remind someone of something done in the past: not at all, a musical project is interesting apart
from known or unknown influences.

If you arrived here you should know that Hypnoise has been produced in Italy by an American Producer from Los Angeles and is distributed also in England, America and Japan.
