Greyhound_Prototype III (excerpt)

Greyhound : Prototype [2012]

Greyhound present their 5th album in eight years, and they have surely achieved to become a household name in the Rhythm ’n’ Noise scene. They stand for almost orthodox, as-hard-as-rocks tracks which they produce with remarkable consistency, and for their remorseless sound they are celebrated regulars at festivals like Forms of Hands or Maschinenfest. “Prototype” is of course a self-reflective album title, as Greyhound are very specific about their concepts. It is an album about interpersonal communication and mental pressure up to the individual limits, thus it is the reflection of personal experiences, memories and emotions collected over of a year’s time. This information is enciphered in 15 intensely powerful, aggressive Rhythm ’n’ Noise tracks with commanding beats. Greyhound leave it to the listener to unscramble the emotional message that lies hidden among the noise. A full listening session of a Greyhound album may be as demanding as an intercity ride on a Greyhound bus, as they never tire, never falter from beginning to end, from the opener “Can you feel it?” with its catchy beats up to the claustrophobic last track “Fade Away”. Of course Greyhound’s proclaimed creed of undiluted Industrial is an invented tradition, which is clearly proven by the crisp sound production, but one you will gladly embrace. “Prototype” works on two levels: On the surface it is a two-fisted rhythmic attack, underneath a multi-facetted introspection, a balancing act which seems impossible enough - but is accomplished with ease!

"This album has proven once again that Greyhound is one of the most talented Power Noise/Industrial musicians around today. Complex, hard-hitting, multi-layered, industrial-strength sound sculpture are this album's trademark. Can't get enough from this talented German!" [sk@ds]

Syntech : P'som Sett [2011]

Two years after their well-received debut "Rising From The
Ashes" Syntech release their sophomore album. The cover already
displays the dichotomy that is the core issue of "P'som Sett",
the struggle of nature against the forces of industry û which is
most dangerously manifest in the global destruction of
rainforests (and the species living within) for the sake of
profit. Musically this is reflected in an impulsive clash of
tribal beats vs. machine rhythms, imbedded into dark
atmospheres. The album starts with the gloomy perspective of the
downbeat "Blackest Night Sirens". "Labyrinth" contains all the
features of "P'som Sett" in a nutshell: A wild tempest of beats
and percussions, relentlessly pushing the tune forward, while a
claustrophobic atmosphere permeates the mind - cinematic and
threatening! "Shy" has an almost Trip Hop-like vibe, while the
title track is a more straightforward option for the Industrial
dance floor, as well as the electro-infused "Voltage Boost".

Throughout the album you will find a lot of diversion through
change of rhythmic pace, ethno-flavoured percussive stretches
and melodic fragments deep in the mix. "Whiteout" seems to lead
the album towards a more quiet ending, before the closing title
"Is Not My Problem" assaults the listener with a dehumanized
clutter of noise that devours all structure. Whereas "Rising
From The Ashes" had been a rhythmic monolith that clearly
disclosed the association with Industrial outfit Greyhound
through the dominance of looped, pounding beats, Syntech now
move further into a territory of their own with "P'som Sett".
This album manages to take the listener on a 78-minute journey
that never gets tiring and offers some surprises en route. And -
repeated listening is recommended in order to discover all the
little details to be found within!

TOTAL PLAYTiME (min.):131:45  

...GREYHOUND have created a soundtrack of aggressive rhythms and threatening atmospheres. Hard, pounding distorted beats and heavily distorted sounds are melted to the unique mixture GREYHOUND have become well known for. Changing pulses, information overload, the surveillance fight and fast-moving life resonates in each second...  

Top-notch, high-quality power noise by this talented German - Steffen Lehmann. Very few can match the album's intensity, complexity, harshness + creativity. One of the genre's best releases in 2009.
