Nerve Filter - Linear(2006)



Despite an inception date back in 1995, "Linear" is the first full-length release by Nerve Filter. Stranger still, this secondary project by Assemblage 23's Tom Shear actually produced published material before anyone had even heard of A23. While this dark techno band was soon shelved and forgotten by many in the wake of Shear's successful venture into the realm of futurepop, he thankfully reopened the 'Filter moniker and delivered this treat of a disc.
First of all, this is not a clone of Assemblage 23; this disc is entriely instrumental in nature, and while the compositions are electronic and quite dance-friendly, it is far more experimental and IDM in structure than his more consumer-friendly output.
Also, even though Nerve Filter has been around for more than a decade, all but one of the tracks hasn't been exhumed from Shear's archives. This is 95% fresh material, without an inkling that this project is just a dusty footnote for A23 fanatics.
"Stealth" enters true to its name; reverberating notes are plucked like strings, their sound ringing off distant walls while a whirligig synth patrols overhead. Soon, an industrial-grade bass drum pounces into its silent expanse, stapling into the song a heavy break-beat while flanged comets flutter upwards in response to this sudden turbulence.
"Auto.Mat" ensnares a bit of science-fiction atmosphere with its brassy echoing synths and porcelain shimmers, with a dialogue sample sharing the futurist sentiment. Thick, plastic bass thumps alongside a flat puff of snare and bursts of flatulent fuzz, it is the fuel that propels this piece along chrome synth rails.

definitivamente este disco es una joya de la musica electronica, con una mezcla de drum'n'bass, IDM, ambient, techno, dub, electro, y usando infinita cantidad de softwares y equipo para producir los sonidos + pichudos, Tom Shear de A23 creò un album que deberia de ser oido por cualquier fan de la musica electronica...vale la pena escucharlo...
