Caligula031 - Bachelorette Party


Caligula031 is founded by Marco Deplano, also known from the excellent power electronics project Wertham. This record was released on Institute Of Paraphilia Studies, a sub-label from Freak Animal, dealing with several concepts about sexual behavior.

This short EP kicks off with Bachelorette: shrieking, high electronics and voice samples, which are later on shifting into more rhythmic patterns. Aggressive but vague vocals come in, together with some sharp harsh noise intervals shifting into controlled, high feedback, sounding much like an ominous indication of threat and danger.

What's A CFNM Shoot Like, Ladies?, the second track, is a voice sample about a woman talking about what seems to be the subject from this album. The third track, CFNM, also starts with similar sample, but this time with partying woman. The sample quickly gets swallowed by hiss and gritty electronics, joined by delayed vocals. The noisy and bleak atmosphere creates a spacious, wide vision of sound and feeling, much like a leader addressing his men from a stage, bringing the message into the crowd and wide, open space.

Rookies In Training, the last track, starts with harsh crunched noise and some more deranged and delayed vocals, tending to be more aggressive than it's predecessors. The noise in this track ravishes like a storm, cutting through everything it encounters. After a while some rhythm is to be noticed in the harsh noise clutter and then suddenly stops abruptly.

This excellent but short release is a must hear for the fans of power electronics and harsh noise!
No longer available on the label, but there are still some second hand copies available on Discogs.
