frenzied, dissonant minimalism on this intricate suite of modern no wave by the seminal Flying Luttenbachers
Editorial review
A random generation of extreme music types will do well to describe the Flying Luttenbachers. So death metal-free jazz-noise-punk works just as well as prog rock-black metal-no wave-grind-skronk, leaving Weasel Walter's long-running group as the inevitable heirs to Naked City and Pain Killer without actually sounding like either for more than 20 seconds. The Luttenbachers can also sound like Anthony Braxton, King Crimson, the Contortions, Masayuki Takayanagi, Magma, Napalm Death, and Darkthrone all within one song. How a Luttenbachers record sounds has a lot to do with who Walter is playing with; for The Void his partners are Gorge Trio guitarist Ed Rodriguez and Burmese bassist Mike Green. It's a refreshing return to a full band sound after Systems Emerge from Complete Disorder, which Walter recorded alone and -- while still a solid Luttenbachers album -- came off a little clinical. The Void is separated into eight parts with a swirling musique concr?te introduction followed by seven sections that dovetail from genre to genre, although with a darker edge than some of the earlier Luttenbachers albums. Rodriguez is a savage whip in the Flying Luttenbachers, spiking throughout the disc with psychedelic squeals and precise, pointed attacks. Green brings a suffocating low end to The Void, dominating the central portion of the album and making it the most doom-laden Luttenbachers albums yet. Ending The Void is the only piece not attached by name to the rest of the album, "Sword of Atheism," which hovers in a harsh droning stasis before swooping down and sweeping both the album and listeners into the abyss. ~ Wade Kergan, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
The debut offering by the latest Flying Luttenbachers line-up featuring guitar virtuoso Ed Rodriguez (also Gorge Trio, ex-Colossamite, ex-Iceburn), bassist Mike Green (also Burmese) and Weasel Walter back on the drum throne. The Void, is both an eight movement suite and a musical riddle (If you have ears, you'll figure it out.) Hearkening back (vaguely) to the concrete, bludgeoning power-trio structures of the classic 1996 Revenge album (Skin Graft Records), the new group sprints urgently down the razor sharp edge between control and chaos with new-found subtlety and expert precision. In a deliberate reaction against current trends in Pro-Tooled turd-polishing of indulgent incompetence, The Void was recorded live in the studio on one day and mixed on another in order to retain the stark purity of the performances. Put plainly, this is the most rocking Luttenbachers album in years.
