Editorial Reviews

Mysterymen were born in 2001 out of the industrial North East of England, and set up their studio on the banks of the river Tyne. Soon being hailed as the new techno-opera-futurists, they are well versed in producing accomplished and unusual electro. Mysterymen have transcended from a twisted personal setting. Comprising the industrial landscape but giving way to the romance lying there in-between, it leaves pretty much of the debut out of the field of comparable producers. To no surprise the tracks inhale the congeniality of analogue synthesizers, drum machines and vocoders, all synchronised by a trusty Atari computer.

Their debut album ‘Everything but an Answer’ on Disko B, features a compact diversity of tracks such as ‘Fast Bitches’, with its trashy noise beats and ominous Atari vocals, to the warm melodic beauty of ‘Sleepy Elvis’. In most of the cases of the instrumental compositions they take up the fight with death disco, but are way ahead of big-city-packed aimlessness, enjoying the advantages of post-twenism. ‘Ploink’ takes you out for an escape-flight into almost fairy-tale coloured green leaving you awaking on top of a carbon-black hill with the broken beats of a vapour trail writing: `Is it real?` Mysterymen won’t leave you without a helping hand and offer warmth in brutality. They show you both sides: the imaginative, but into the face-truth, the escapism and the dirt. But hey, that’s how it is up in the industrial North.

This is the real deal. You don't need to listen to samples. It's electro for the electro heads. Lots of rubbery bass, bouncing 808 kicks, slick vocal work, everything. Organic and industrial, smooth and rough, opposites attract to make this one tightly mixed masterpiece. Get this one!

It's a very neat format of music. It has good listening quality on my stereo or my PC. I'mlooking for the same type of music from this CD, right now I don't have any other recomendations-anybody out there let me know what U think and what other CD's like this one I can find.
