AU's Non-Existing Input is a refreshing album. Read on if you want to know why.
AU is a two-headed band from the Netherlands, and make a very original kind of modern experimental electronica. The kind that scares you, but, because you wholeheartedly want to know how it ends, you never cover you eyes. The kind that, for once, doesn't resemble the blueprints that all the Aphex Twins and Autechres of this world have designed. The kind that chooses its own way, all the time. The kind that is completely improvised and recorded in the band members' own living rooms, on obscure equipment. The kind that leaves the obligatory laptops and glitches behind in favor of orginal craftmanship.
Because the music is highly original, it's difficult to give some references. Some passages sound like a louder and noisier Biosphere. COIL surely is some kind of influence, but it never gets too obvious. It can't be called dark ambient, can't be called soundscapes, can't be called IDM, and can't be called free improvisation. Therefore, this electronica album is very refreshing, in today's world of copycats who even sample each other's intended glitches. Non-Existing Input is exciting, new, frightening, and above all, very very good. Tremendous album.
