The Azoic
"Conflict" CDS
Nilaihah Records
The Azoic are back with an addictive little sample of what's to come on
their new album, "Illuminate." Released in July the new single, "Contact" is
a song about the pain of understanding and dealing with one's inner strife.
They advance their sound using the usual juxtaposition of hard beats along
with the strong synth melodies and Kristy's beautiful vocals. Plus, not only
do they add their own remix but six other artists add their take on this
track; Negative Format, Iris, CombiChrist (the new solo project of Andy
LaPlegua from Icon of Coil), Imperative Reaction, Massiv in Mensch and
System Syn. Though few of them stray very far from the original song, you do
get a few variations that include heavier synth-pop, power-noise, and trance
influences which should fit most any dance floor mood. While this release
will surely be a hit with DJs, it would not be out of place in anyone else's
collection either, especially considering it also contains the "Conflict"
multimedia video. The single is available worldwide via the Nilaihah Records website, plus keep an eye out for the full length "Illuminate" due out at the end of this year or early in 2004.
