Impressions
It's with a love of John Carpenter
soundtracks that Wolfmen of Mars take up their instruments to rock
out the music of 'Digital Penetration'. Now, if you go in expecting
anything even remotely similar to the atmospheric synthesizer-heavy
music John Carpenter is known for, you'll leave disappointed, as this
is not it. There's a lot of keyboards and synthesizers here, sure,
but in this instance The Shape is just as likely to bust up a dance
floor as he is a helpless babysitter. A strange mental image
certainly, but appropriate with Wolfmen of Mars, as they play dance
rock that's heavily influenced by horror and science-fiction films
(audio clips from old films fit perfectly) both in tone and
structure. With song titles like “Something Monstrous Pt. 1” and
“East of Dementia”, it's obvious WoM have their tongues in their
cheeks. The music itself follows much the same pattern – songs of
eerie keyboard lines and audio samples (billowing wind, guttural
growls) surrounded by the absolutely bouncy guitar/bass/drum boogie”
East of Dementia” or drum and bass slabs of dance music in
“Something Monstrous” 1 and 2. Only opener “The Breather”
sticks the horror vibe the entire song length, and only because the
drum and bass back up the horrifying revelation audio cue 'Dun NUH'
instead of playing against it rhythmically. The last two tracks are
remixes of the first and fourth track respectively, and both approach
the goofy library music tracks accompanying a George Romero zombie
satire in their pomp and lighthearted feel. An interesting detour to
end the EP. Not a bad soundtrack for a Halloween party this one.
Awesome find. Very cool
