The third album from Dutch punk-laced noiseniks adds new maturity and a conceptual feel that pulls the extremes of their sound together. A psyche-fuelled journey into the id punctuated with rhythmic kabuki modal mood swings, thunderstorms, digital beeps, traffic noise, and just plain old beautiful cacophonous reverb-drenched sound when needed. The a''third chaptera'' refers to the last five years that the Dutch band have spent creating their a''difficulta' third album. Each song spins a yarn; there are plagues, dreams, wind and fire, a''mythicala'' characters, and the search for the secret government warehouse. Lead single, Tokyo Music Experience, resonates with a conveyor belt-propelled modal guitar, reflecting the halcyon days of Japanese super-productivity; a mesmerising mantra, infected with news bulletin on-the-hour bleeps underlining its time-sensitive nature; a pristine super-commercial anthem to drive loyalty and reinforce solidarity with the party! Having been described as creating a''underground noise with a bracing, warped pop appeala' Side A 1 Prologue: Rain 2 A Trail Of Wind And Fire 3 Second Born Child 4 Tokyo Music Experience 5 The Rise And Fall Of The Plague 6 Another Year Side B 7 Fragments 8 The Disappearance Of Dr. Duplicate 9 Excerpt Taken From Chapter 3 10 Where Is My Dream? 11 Part One: The Long Drought 12 Part Two: Crossing The Desert 13 Epilogue: Big Poisonous Shadows
