Genre: Techno / Electro - Electronics

From the very first second, “Impact – Synthesized Sound And Music” is a difficult, icy release, embracing many cornerstones of what would become known as industrial music.

.
These 16 sonic experiments are totally devoted to synthsizers, which are the main architects of whirling escapes, white noise and sonic landscapes in the mood of early Warp releases. “Impact – Synthesized Sound And Music” was originally released via Armando Sciascia’s Vedette label in 1971, under the alias H. Tical: it’s a really peculiar library music album, filled with incredibly contemporary sounds and atmospheres. Unlike “Distortions” by Blue Phantom, whose supergroovy and almost hard-prog tracks are all credited to H. Tical, this is a totally different sonic planet – and it’s difficult to figure out which kind of images could be paired with such an extreme experiment, which is a one-of-a-kind effort in Sciascia’s more traditional career as a composer. Moreover, the musical delirium is enhanced by the usual beauty of the titles – such as “Colluvium”, “Metastasis”, “Trigonos”, “Intercosmic”, “Rubidio”, or “Laser”, mixing Latin and English languages. This is a wonderful, alienating album made of “static” music, totally estranged from the idea of movement.
