NOISEOTICA, the debut CD release by the US based group SKYLINE, is a genre defying, fragmented mix of infectious rhythms with guitar and turntable nased sonic chaos. in this stirringly ideosyncratic sound environment, the listener is pulled in opposing extremes as the grooves, many of which are appropriated from mainstream culture, do battle with constantly evolving soundscapes. the end product is something that the group calls 'Noiseotica'...a polarized state of aural experience.
SKYLINE achieves all of this in real time, as each piece is created through an improvisational process. The process reflects teamwork in the truest sense.. In a gulag styled environment , JB sets the mood by throwing a random selection of sampled appropriated grooves at the three other collaboraorators leading them through sonic calitsthenics. Each member reacts and contributes in real time: SKYKING with serrated, soaring guitar sounds, DJZ with visionary vinyl manipulations and VO with lo end pulsations.
'In an industry that includes everything from Covenant to Pan Sonic to Coil to Aqua, Noiseotica is the freshest, cleanest, and most interesting electronic masterpiece to hit the scene in recent memory' (Tentacles E-zine)
'Skyline open doorways to unfamiliar terrain within electronic music because they are not satisfied to simply regurgitate the norm. They have an ear towards some place else.' (Outburn Magazine)
