KLANGKRIEG-DAS FIEBER DER MENSCHLICHEN STIMME, CD, 1998, GERMANY
Before Felix Kubin's reign as king of NDW-inspired electronica ensued, he was spending his time proffering considerably more abstruse sonic universes under the name Felix Knoth with the aid of co-conspirator Tim Burre in Klangkrieg. On "Das Fieber...", the remit was to use only the sounds of processed human voice and the results are brilliantly nerve-rattling and surreal, sheets of austerity giving way to shattered bursts of spitting phonetics and hissing ejaculations amid sparse beds of electronic rasp, sear, ping and singe from vocals DSP-ed into oblivion.
This was a great listen. The track 'Anormales Geräusch' was especially nuts.
