Stimulate your body and mind with this concept album,
By
This review is from: The Drake Equation (Audio CD)
About the Band:
This Morn' Omina is Belgian musician Mika Goedrijk's tribal industrial (or as Mika describes the genre ritual musik) project. Goedrijk is involved in many other bands including the electronic body music bands Nebula H and Andraculoid, and the power noise band Pow[d]er Pussy. Goedrijk is considered one of the primary pioneers of the tribal industrial genre, which is a blend of ethnic or tribal rhythms, electronic melodies, and spoken or chanted vocal components. Together these elements create music that you can easily imagine being incorporated into ritualistic ceremonies that might transcend time, and you'll find your mind is just as stimulated as your body. About the Album: Like his previous album, le serpent blanc, le serpent rouge, The Drake Equation is a 30-minute long conceptual piece that is divided into seven different tracks. Each track represents Goedrijk's musical interpretation of the seven main terms of Dr. Frank Drake's 1960's equation used to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. Drake's equation was used by proponents of the S.E.T.I. search for intelligent life and has been frequently featured in science fiction stories since its inception. In the traditional of classical musicians using full orchestras to turn stories into sound, Goedrijk masterfully scores out what each of those terms might sound like. For example, track 6 "N=fc" is the term used to estimate the fraction of planets with intelligent life that last long enough to send a message to space (we thankfully have). "Communication" as I like to call the track starts off slow ... early civilizations were not adept at communicating, but the track speeds up as one might expected more advanced civilizations to just dump information out on the cosmos. Recommended Tracks: - N=fc (Track 6) - N=fl (Track 4) - N=fp (Track 2) Here are my names for the tracks (in order) based upon the Drake Equation: Stars, Planets, Life Capable Planets, Planets with Life, Intelligent Life, Communication, & Lifetime. The album is short, which is a bummer. And the album didn't really click with me at first. The CD tray liner notes actually talk the real Drake Equation, but it was months before I noticed that Mika had included the notes. I actually figured out the "puzzle" by searching for the Drake Equation on Wikipedia long before reading the liner notes, and really enjoyed listening to the music while reading about the search for extraterrestrial life. That said, even if you don't find space sciences interesting, the music itself is still amazing. Four of the tracks are over 6 minutes long (which is pushing it for dance clubs, but ideal for listening at home). If you've enjoyed other tribal industrial albums (I've included a list of similar artists below), you should seriously give The Drake Equation a try. It will honestly stimulate both your mind and body. Similar Artists: - Ah Cama Sotz - Empusae - Black Lung - Mlada Fronta - Monolith
