For his 5th release and first release on Anti-Gravity Device, Atlanta based producer Mr. Myoplast brings us electro so hot, it would make W. Tecumseh Sherman jealous. The album starts off strong with stereo imaging reminiscent of Avant-Garde king pins "The Residents" and quickly goes into squelchy acid before you even realize you're at a futuristic rave thrown by Roy Batty. Then comes the generous dose of lofi grit in the 808 banger Moral Decline which makes me want to pelvic thrust a wall down, with its deep bass line and syncopated acid meltyness which fades perfectly into the next track giving the feel of a 70's prog rock concept album. The sub bass in "Sonic Eruptor" is ridiculous to say the least and the fuzzed out filter swept drone bass is like a contemporary version of Analog Worms era Oizo. Ending strongly with "Unknown Entity" this release is sure to get you fist pumping with your cat on a Tuesday night after finishing an entire box of wine, I know because it happened to me.

"The Young Hawk Of Atlanta Soared Higher And Further In The Sky,
Hunted Disgusting and Shameful Vivid colored Birds Which Are Called BLUFF Clearly Again."

『The Land of the Blind』 Is Very Fascinating Of Pure Electro, Dark And Beautiful, Pleasures To My Brain And Body With Acid Bass Like Drive My Semicircular Canal Mad.

Mr. Myoplast Released Some Stuff With Milieu's Recycled Plastics, Paul Blackford's Militant Science Last Few Years, And This Year He Started His Own Body Control Records.

Body Control Records Succeed To Gather Molecules Of Elctro Scattered In The World, Then 『The Land of the Blind』 From ADG Shows Us What Electro Should Be And Free Will Of Get Back It.

There Is No Wrong Sound,Everything Is Right Place, If You Concentrate On This Sounds, You Can Notice That Your Mind Is Travelling Between Inner Mind Of Yours And The Universe.

To Be Honest, I'm So Tired About Silly And Fake Word "ELECTRO" Long Time, But Here,The Electro Of 『The Land of the Blind』 Is Real, And Remind Me How I Was Crazy For It.

Anti Gravity Device And Mr. Myoplast Are Still Young And Vigorous Hawks, Otherhand They Are Already Know How To Hunt Perfectly.

Take Disgusting Vivid Colored Birds Back To Tropical Forest, Tell Us Who Is The King Of Their Skies.
Anyway, Play 『Disposable Income』 At Fisrt. Don't You Think That Order Of Our Sky Is Back,Right?

----------

アトランタの若き鷹は更に空高く舞い上がり、気分の悪くなるような、如何にも下品な色をした「虚勢」と名乗る鳥達をまたもや鮮やかに狩ってみせた。

『The Land of the Blind』は、とても魅惑的で純粋なエレクトロとダークで美しく、そして三半規管を狂わすようなアシッドベースで僕の体と脳を喜ばせてくれる。

Mr. MyoplastはMilieu主催のRecycled PlasticsやPaul Blackford主催のMilitant Scienceといったエレクトロニックミュージックの偉大なる先輩達のレーベルを経て、今年彼は新しくBody Control Recordsを始めた。

Body Control Recordsの活動により世界に散らばったエレクトロ分子を掻き集めることに成功し、こうしてAGDから届けられた『The Land of the Blind』にも、あるべき姿のエレクトロを奪還しようとする強いメッセージを受けた。
無駄に鳴っている音は一切なく、音に集中すればするほど自己の内側から宇宙に繋がる感覚に襲われる。

長い間扱われてきた紛い物のエレクトロという単語には、僕自身は既に疲れてしまっているが、『The Land of the Blind』で鳴らされているエレクトロは、僕がかつて『心惹かれた』エレクトロである。

Anti Gravity DeviceとMr. Myoplastはどちらもまだ若く血気盛んな鷹であるが、十分に狩りの仕方を心得ている。

下品な色をした鳥達を再び亜熱帯の森へと返し、彼らの空では誰が頂点に君臨すべきかを見せつける。
まずは、『Disposable Income』をプレイして欲しい。僕らの空にあの秩序が帰ってきた気がしないか?

You may have already heard about Ben Wehunt as a label owner, thanks to a handful of successful releases including the essential "Global Systems Vol.1" compilation, and the recent "Departing The Hourglass" album from Analogous Doom published on his own Body Control Records. But Mr. Myoplast is also a talented Atlanta based Electro / Techno producer, author of various E.P.'s on label such like Recycled Plastics or Militant Science just to name but a few.

To plunge into Ben's sound, I highly recommend you his uncompromising debut E.P. titled "The Land Of The Blind" on Anti-Gravity Device. With this fifth outing on AE35's imprint, prepare yourself for an epic journey into raw, acid, and industrial Electro! Rolling "Disposable Income" opens the digital pack with explosive drums over a percussive rhythm. A furious acid line a la Hardfloor progressively appears to smoke your speakers, after a brilliant succession of dark rumbling sub bass coupled with intricate vocals. What an impressive beginning! "Moral Decline", instantly following, sounds like the prelude of an impending doom. Hard pounding beats combine to groovy tones, while a feverish TB303 takes us back into the golden age of Rave music. Acid Electro at its best!

With mental "Sonic Eruptor", the US artist returns to deeper and urban sororities. Synth blips, lasers, and massive 808 bassline are complemented by lush pads and cutting edge soundscapes, surrounded by a solid SciFi atmosphere. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Final cut "Unknown Entity" brings up the rear with syncopated machine grooves, tantalising snare rolls, rising synth, tribal acid vibes, and stomping bass. Classy 303, extremely well crafted beats, partnered up with some dark yet funky sequences sign an extraordinary ride through the world of the Body Control mastermind.

"The Land Of The Blind EP" appears as a serious testimony of Ben's musical versatility and background, ranging from the Machine funk of Kraftwerk and Bambaataa, to the electronicanalogic universe of Aphex Twin! Acting like an enigmatic scientist who experiments evil equations, Mr. Myoplast demonstrates that the association between sub bass and acid produces uncontrolled movements on the dancefloor, making the crowd want to reach the sky. No doubt the best release to date on the Japanese young imprint, no offense to the previous artists including Fleck ESC, Noise&Noise, The Outsider and AE35 himself who already did a great job.
