Previously released the Foreign Terrain LP-1. Black Faction is the harder side of Imprint. Fusing breaks and rhythms with harsh tonality and brutal reality. The LP opens with a monologue from Japan's infamous Cult Aum Shinrikyo, the apocalyptic Buddhist sect suspected in the 1995 subway nerve gas murders in Tokyo. The monologue is taken from their promotional Manga-style video and gives Nostradamus his check (in Japanese). This edgy opener flows into a retrospective homage to the Shah & Empress of Iran and their not-so- pleasant exodus from Iran in 1979. (This to be released on a split 12" with Foreign Terrain later on in the year). Black Faction's ridims are hard-hitting yet funky enough for head nodding. At times, the music leads us through the streets of Beirut, with Middle Eastern rhythms punctuated by muezzin cries offering their devotions to Allah. At other times the sounds are closer to home. The streets of contemporary Berlin are viewed in the tracks, Les Salons de Musique du Tarmac and Cirolni. The tracks Isfahan, Spirit Jive and Apocryphal all follow the route of bass-heavy flowing rhythm tracks. Play "Isfahan" loud on the dancefloor and watch for the reaction, the serious sub-bass will dictate the way to sway. Oblique Black is a re-working of Oblique Eccentricity from Foreign Terrain Lp-1 comes with deep, textural, and serious speaker-damaging bass-tones. It opens with a Swedish dialogue about possibilities and also features the voice of Christine talking about planetary statistics.[[[[ Andy's French girlfriend.. (Swedish because of Black Factions part-time nationality being Swedish.]]]] Free Faith Org. is another ridim tune but not so hard this time. The piece is an ironic take on the American preacher circuit, layered with spoken words of faith in Jesus, and also the prophet Mohammed. Dissident and Dissident live are straight rhythm pieces, the studio version is complex and twisting whereas the "live" version is distorted and strengthened for dancefloor consumption. Gauzian Eye, is a Tribute to Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze, Musician and friend who passed away Jan 15th. Sadly missed, and a suitable closer for the LP, or is it… keep the CD playing! Available: August 99!
