This is a new signing of a new German Noise-Industrial-artist to the notorious Ant-Zen label. While the band name is taken out of quote of Mao Zedong, this act claims, not to be politically inspired – maybe only with the nowadays needed aversion against fascism ("Beat That Nazi Maggot"). Behind this project stands a quite different musically background, because the unfortunately hiding in anonymity musician has been active in several guitar-driven genres (Punk, Grindcore or Metal), therefore this totally dedication to experimental-minded Electronica comes out quite surprising. Not a real debut, because this act has previously founded an own label "Le Petit Machiniste" and could release several underground and hard-to-find items. As usual for an Ant-Zen release, 100BLUMEN offer a lot of disruptive percussion elements and instrumental rhythm torture. Not that kind of the redundant EBM-formula out of the ProNoize-family, rather more dedicated to Noise in itself. The opener "The Herb" for instance begins like a manipulated helicopter sound, but the longer this track runs, the more noise and distortion effects are switching in. The Track "The Flower They Come" proves that they can provide also a more calm and rather Tribal-inspired work, please note also the fine remix work by the French artist TWINKLE on this tune. I like "Mr. Sister" for its fantastic noisy wall of sound, while the retarded voice-samples got definitely a bit too often repeated. "Hardy Plant" comes at least danceable as well and can be named to the favorites of this album, also for this piece you’ll get a remix work by the fine ASCHE vs. MORGENSTERN collaboration project. The track "What Kind Of A Man Are You (Alive)" finally caused a smile in my face, because of the chosen voice sample, which I remember out of my childhood, as I’ve discovered a video of the US-Hardrock act TWISTED SISTER ("I Wanna Rock"), yes, yes – those where the days, he-he. And note also a special hidden bonus track placed at song position 77 on this CD. This album offers several interesting aspects to discover different kinds of the Powernoise genre and – another positive point – it works for several tracks similar well under a pair of headphones instead of storming the dancefloors of the dark clubs. And all listeners who’d expected to get some Techno-inspired works as well ("Techno Blume") I can assure, it’s noise. Mastered at Metarc studios – no comment, because this speaks already for itself. There’s maybe no law in Floriculture – but it offers a quite good Powernoise release.
