Electro
Mario Silizium Celebrese is without a
doubt the master of Gothic electro as the last album “Ich Bin Gothic” proved
and I now have the honour of reviewing his four track E.P “Schwartz Raum” which
translated means (Black Space) although there is nothing black about this E.P it
is full of colour and awash with plenty to savour on the palette that in turn
will paint its own pictures as you listen to the masterpieces of Mario Celebrese
who is indeed the backbone and creator Silizium.
“Die Letzte Trane”– (The last Tear) is haunting as it is stunning and has plenty of
enticing moments that are captured within its sophisticated and glorious swathe
of eternal beauty. It holds a sinister feel that sends shivers down the spine
and as the track finishes there is a surprise as the music bit by bit does not
fade but compacts itself.
The title track
of the E.P “Schwarz Raum” – (Black Space) is fiery and pulsates with plenty of
rhythm and shows a good raw quality and harsh vocal that plays alongside a
haunting urgent synth sound that is deliciously wrapped in an ever growing wash
of tempestuous grooves and up tempo beats and is a highly exceptional track,
with superb harmonies to boot, that drive its urgency to the forefront.
My favourite track being “Ich Bin”
– (I am) It starts off with a haunting euphoric keyboard then just explodes
into a bubbling rhythmic wash and the vocal rap like chant is compelling – so
much so that I have been listening non-stop since the previous night! The hard
edged beats go a long way to exciting this electro head!!
“Geh Deinen Weg” – (Go away) is
also superbly haunting and reaches out its tendrils of extreme sophistication,
as it powers up with a harder edge vocal and houses an urgent compelling synth
tone that demands immediate attention – and gets it in abundance. It holds a
strong sinewy rhythmic swathe that can only be described as addictive – but
then again Silizium is pure
addiction and I want more!
To Sum up:
Is there
anything this man cannot do? The sounds emanating from the speakers are just
thrilling and scintillating, with powerful synth patterns and complex rhythms
that just sweep you into oblivion. Dark and blossoming into a rich textured
layer of sophistication, it is wonderfully powerful and vibrant and far reaches
into the darkest recesses of the mind that will in turn provoke beautiful
imagery that simply cannot be ignored
I should be
jealous of Mario not only has he produced some fine music with equally superb
vocals - he can put his makeup on straight... something I have not managed to
master yet!
All in all this
is just one superb E.P from start to finish.
So if you are looking for passionate, sinister, haunting, compelling and
indeed addictive music - now is the time to sample Silizium – looking forward to hearing more - that is for definite!
10/10
