3.0 out of 5 stars If you.re looking for a demanding listening experience......, 11 Jul 2005
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
If ever an album fell between the proverbial two stools its We Are Monster by Isolee. It's neither a pounding hedonistic pulse accelerator like say Vitalics "We Are Cowboy" or a gorgeous warm bath in lush sound like say "76.14" by Global Communication. The question must be therefore exactly what does this album have to offer?
Well on first listen, not a lot. Persevere however and some interesting nuances and idiosyncratic structures reveal themselves. "Enrico", s stuttering vocal effects are wrapped around a deep bottomed synth that seems to breakdown differently each time or maybe I just imagined that. "Schrapnell" is the most immediately melodic track on the album but it's hardly flippant stuff, every note is carefully composed and precisely dropped into the mix. No note is incidental. The sleeker more traditional "My Hi-Matic" glistens with sleekly driven purpose while "Face B" resonates with almost alien tones and textures before gliding into a crackling mood piece. "Today" uses spiralling notes of plangent guitar to counterpoint the more terrestrial bound caustic burrs of electronic noise.
Too many of the songs/tracks - you could argue that some are both and some are neither- never become more than a half realised notion in the back of the artists mind .The ten minute long "Pillowtalk" is so dull, repetitive and well boring it makes me nod off after a minute with it's aimless synth doodles and pitter patter rhythms. "Madchen Mit Hase" is as impenetrable as its title. The unquestionably intriguing stabs of random noise seem to work at odds with one another producing an eclectic mess. "Do Re Mi" takes a similar approach but seems to reconcile the arbitrary elements far more satisfactorily.
Exigent this album most certainly is, so much so it may stretch the patience of some listeners, but then I doubt anyone with such a deficient attention span would be interested in this music anyway. And in case anyone accuses me of some form of musical snobbery with that comment there were times that the effort of listening to We Are Monster was a little too much for my frazzled senses and I retreated to something less demanding. I'll keep trying, keep listening and maybe this album will expose more of itself. It sure doesn't seem in a hurry to do that though.
