Sounds Like
A metro breaking through the flesh of a synthetic jungle. It’s a kind of somatic journey through the inner space. The feeling of spinning through arteries, evading collision with erythrocytes, but always failing. Shadows twinkling outside the carriage window. For a short moment glances intersect but it’s enough to feel them drilling through your body-membrane and then dissolving in the endless flow within. Irreversibly modifying metabolism, they draw towards the heart. It reminds a journey through the dark room, when in spite of absolute emptiness perception detects solid volume filled with rhythms of the organism. In that state of mind borders of the body-membrane expand embracing the whole sensed environments. Neither inner nor outer spaces exist any more. The body looses its protection. Impulses and shadows transfer fluently between these worlds (Maksim Sentelev, 2004)
The man behind the Gas of Latvia is Andzons or Andris Indans. He is the most veteran Latvian electronic musician to have emerged within the early 90s post-industrial cassette-tape scene, where he was one of the members of the band Kartaga. This prolific artist has crossed through genres such as industrial punk, ambient, dub, idm, drone and noise, always keeping a recognizable polyphonic signature, based in early industrial music. / Viestarts Gailitis (Skanu Mezs), 2007/
