America’s most influential Electro/Industrial act returns with this 5-track EP, now signed under the wings of the Belgium Alfa Matrix label. It was also determined to be released at Static Sky Records in the USA, but unfortunately this label has closed its business until further notice. Still in a good memory is also their contribution "Signaljammer" to a compilation out on Static Sky, a track which can be seen as a first hint of what to expect from Gary Dassing this time. The new MENTALLO sound luckily makes a step back into a pure electronic-based sound design and you won’t find any further strange experiments with acoustic instruments. Nevertheless I find it also a bit early to celebrate the return to the good old days, the new MENTALLO sound here has to grow long and often on you. 5 tracks and a playing time of 52:00 minutes, this already gives you hint, how long the pieces are running here. Also that this release is an EP – real club-feeling will never come up. Gary Dassing offers ultra-complex Electro/Industrial tracks, at times monotone and diving into some Ambient-like styles ("My Fondest Drug Related Memory (Chimora Mix)"). The included sounds, noises, scratches and effects generally are quite impressive arranged, although it needs the totally attention of the listener to recognize all ingredients. A good pair of headphones and some patience are needed to get a satisfying result. It is hard to point out a favorite track of this 5 remix versions, somehow all of them turn into the vain. Impressive especially for sound freaks, for which no kind of music can be complex enough. It is an interesting release globally, but nothing which can create any body motion. Listen this and check yourself, I look forward to hear the stuff of the upcoming new full length CD "Enlightenment Through A Chemical Catalyst".
