“Tonatiuh”, the newest album from this collaborative project between Empusae and Flint Glass, does have one thing in common with mantra music of this sort: atmosphere. Of course, the oppressive humidity of untamed jungles is hardly the same as the glittering, rainbow-spattered waterfalls and soft bird calls that the weak of purpose pursue so wholeheartedly, and it is that unbridled ferocity that lurks within the sweeping vistas painted by this pair, peppered with neo-primitive rhythms that excite the soul and unleash adrenal secretions in the listener. Mood music? Definitely. Just not the mediocre, safe moods society would have us celebrate. This album activates a hidden aspect of the subconscious, a primitive memory-form that recalls the bloody daily struggle between man and nature – not for supremacy, but simply for survival. Powerful, stirring stuff, indeed.
The Aztec imagery in the track listing (from “Mictlantecuhtli” through to “Quetzalcoatl”, an entire pantheon of Mesoamerican gods are present) and the album artwork, not to mention the very name Tzolk’in being lifted from the very calendar that predicts the end of the world in just under two years, remains perfectly valid, however. As the press release so cheerfully points out, it is estimated that approximately 20,000 human sacrifices were performed by this enigmatic civilisation annually at its peak, and the blood fever associated with this is an undeniable presence looming behind the creeping advance of Tzolk’in’s music.
The broad spectrum of sounds created by Tzolk’in on “Tonatiuh” will appeal to followers of industrial, ambient and even some psytrance; it’s a wonderful illustration of tribal sensibilities, executed in a contemporary, cutting-edge electronic medium. That said, wearers of tie-dyed shirts, salon-matted dreadlocks and other alien abductees may not have the stomach for this beautifully chilling record…

In terms of variety, this is the most diverse compilation by one artist I've ever listened to in a long time. Various styles/genres exist within the compilation as well as the individual tracks themselves: from dark ambient to power noise. Simply incredible from start to finish. One of the best coming out this year so far. [sk@ds]

NOTE:
By the time I post this, I have downloaded just the first two RAR files. The video is pretty good, however the audio's volume is really low therefore it must be turned up to the max to listen to it. Due to its sound, KM Player is recommended because its sound is louder than any other video player.
BTW, if you'd like to check out/preview the video (by checking the 'Keep the broken file' RAR menu option, in case you dunno how), FYI the extracted file is in ISO format which in turn can also be extracted by using RAR . Nevertheless, the best bands are in the Phase 3. The first songs are by the Horrorist (the one in the pics above) whom I've never heard of before. Pretty generic beats a la Trance. But, pretty nice laptops (and girl) by the way. (*_*)
