BORIS: ASIA (2015)
1) Terracotta Warrior; 2) Ant
Hill; 3) Talkative Lord Vs. Silence Master.
And here comes the third and, fortunately, last
installment of the trilogy, of which the less said, the better, so here is a
quick runthrough. ʽTerracotta Warriorʼ is a twenty-minute long noise homage to
the deeply buried unknown soldier of China's first emperor, beginning in the
form of the whistling wind in the deep underground chamber and gradually
layering feedback that probably represents the modern day excavators trying to
get through. ʽAnt Hillʼ is ten minutes of crackling electronic pulse (how may
times have we heard that already?),
an allegory for the ant hill which is itself an allegory for the endless run of
silly humans around their daily tasks. ʽTalkative Lord Vs. Silence Masterʼ is
ten more minutes of feedback crackle, radio static-style.
That's all, folks. No, really. I am packing my
bags now and embarking on the quest to find seven people who actually «enjoy»
and «get» this album. Together, we will find a way to break the laws of gravity
and quantum mechanics and advance humanity to the... next state of advancement,
whatever that is. Watch out for the latest news from The Boris Samurai — until
then, thumbs
down, but I promise you, once we finally rule the world, that is
bound to change.
Now if Asia makes an album named Boris, you should just shut this blog down and call it a day.
