Chris Carter
CHRIS CARTER’S CHEMISTRY LESSONS VOLUME ONE
Mute
after a whopping 19 years, the industrial music pioneer’s solo return is a fascinating, wending journey that explores the full potential of the electronic medium in a coherent & absorbing way.
tracks like ‘Moon Two’ & ‘Tangerines’ have a sheen of inquisitiveness & quiet euphoria, while ‘Modularity’ & ‘Roane’ have an anxious, sci-fi noir charm. These moments sit alongside tracks where melodies have a dissonant, noisy, awkwardness that ties the record back to carter’s Throbbing Gristle legacy. there is a distinctively Chris Carter approach to sound & execution that showcases the sonic scientist’s restless, questing creative spirit forever scouting for new ideas. “something of a triumph. Carter underlines his status as master of modulated electronica, creating over two dozen pieces with a broad textural reach, from the industrial to the ambient, dotted with spliced vocal treatments” 8/10 - uncut.
