Hansel

There are two artists called Hansel. 1. Hansel originates from BOSTON. HANSEL Lorentzian Lineshaper Label: D-Trash Records "This was a tough CD to review, and even a tougher one to listen to, which is probably why I liked it so much." Hansel is Alan Fux (vocals, samples, arrangements, orchestrations) and M.X. Lopex (samples, sequences, programming). Hansel is also a clash of genres and a study of the thermodynamics of disparate sounds traversing against the grain. Pranksters and poets, Hansel is what Suicide would be today if modern computer technology was available.

Little things on the CD become the crux, like the glitchcore rendition of Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker", or a sample of strings, which, I believe, were taken from W.A. Mozart's "Requiem" mass on "Cypress Millwood".
Articulated throughout the CD is the notion of a chronic collision of molecules and galaxies, best evident on the punch and duck sequence of "Hookwormz" and "The Uncertainty Principle", but also in the "advanced technologies developed by monkeys" lyrics expressed on the latter track.
The track most resembling accessibility, "We Are Important", collapses into the manic flyswatter infestation of "Zlotnik" and a broader pattern develops, which can only be ascertained if one is willing to sift through the chaotic data streams and listen to the many paths of sound to reach an independent conclusion.

Five dudes bound by an oath of rock 'n' roll. They roam the wastelands of standard, boring, paper dry, modern Brit pop bands, leaving them in their wake with their big hair, big anthem, hard hitting, glam rock style.

Glowing like a beacon in the cold dark night.

Hansel is just so hot rite now.
