'Roes' is best translated as 'intoxication', but it's not clear wether this describes the state this music was recorded in. Probably it does. This is already the sixth release by Dutch Machinefabriek, and not live this time, so no noise here. That is to say, only partly. In the nine pieces here, which are to be heard as one piece (non-intoxicated by this reviewer), noise plays a small role, but is much more manipulated and worked out in the form of a sound collage. Through some of the muffled hiss and distortion, we hear the far away play on a piano and some electronics. Everything sounds like well-processed by computer means, and Machienfabriek places itself along the lines of a noisy version of Richard Chartier or Roel Meelkop, but with much shorter tracks but not to dissimilar dramatic built ups and changes. So far the best release to come out of this machine factory.
