Republic (1996)

'REPUBLIC' is a single 74 minute CD featuring three of the group’s best improvisations to date, it is a cohesive timeless collection of vital soundscapes with a huge dynamic range, it uses only those sounds dear to their hearts and includes liberal sprinklings of the god-like Mellotron (real of course, not sampled), and a collection of analogue synthesisers alongside their modern counterparts neither futuristic or retro, radio massacre international's music is timeless; and attempts to bring some soul and danger to ambient music by being as scary as it is soothing. Try 'Send Off' at high volume with the lights out, or the ebullient title piece for an illustration of how hypnotic real time sequencers can be, and if you thought electronic music couldn’t rock, try the searing electric guitar sections of 'Raw Cane Approach' (Refined ? Not this band). Come into the forest and taste the trees.

Time & Motion

 
Featuring guest musician Martin Archer on all things woodwinds, the band takes their foundation of sequencer based material and stretches out the space within the beats (and for some the tracks on the album, there are no beats...so think about all that space!) The band is more interested in letting a scenic vibe come across, and it's one that you might not have expected after hearing an album like Rain Falls In Gray but it's more in the vibe of Philadelphia Air Shot in the idea of taking a starting point of an idea and letting it take control...
