Sounds Like
Watching Human Eye onstage is like being attacked by space aliens. They are like something dreamed up by Philip K. Dick during an acid flashback, a science fiction sound world with rock and roll roots assaulting all of the senses. Their second full-length release, "Fragments of the Universe Nurse", continues their musical mission with more
mind-derailing time changes, laser-beam synthesizer blasts, hallucinatory overdriven echoplex, and a generally brutal assemblage of disparate elements from a sonic palette that ranges from mid-70's punk rock to psychedelia, prog, free jazz, and Sci-Fi movie sound effects. Writhing giant robot snakes, huge illuminated plastic eyeballs, flying T.V. sets, and exploding flourescent paint-filled balloons only heighten the atmosphere of transformed reality and universal anxiety suggested by Human Eye's music. The musical structures whirl and explode in an entangled storm of opposites fusing together and colliding with strange precision. On first listen, you might think you're hearing traces of Beefheart, Germs, Chrome, Soupy Sales, the Residents, Hendrix, Gentle Giant, and the Boredoms. By the second or third listen, you'll (hopefully) be too disoriented to think, analyze, etc. Singer/guitarist Timmy V. was previously in the Clone Defects, where he would often do unexpected things in the middle of a song, like attack himself with a vacuum cleaner until he was standing surrounded by shredded metal and plastic, in a swirling cloud of lint. Human Eye hasn't toned down any of these tendencies, they've just reorganized the placement and frequency of these gestures. Their new album is their strangest and best yet. They've been constructing this thing in darkness, shrouded in secrecy. It is now ready to hatch and implant itself into minds starved for action everywhere. With tunes like their glam-anthem "Slop Culture", "Gorilla Garden", "Two Headed Woman", and the epic "Poison Frog People", consciousness will be altered.

Holla, the title track is a monster hypnotisches old-school punk with waschechtem Detroit sound, genialem vocals, organ, guitar Ritten nasty and probably a lot bewusstseinserweiternden drugs in the game. At least the second piece, an instrumental Noise ride from the unpublished part of the "Forbidden Planet" soundtracks, I am sure that what eingeworfen.

Still Single: Vol. 3, No. 1
By Doug Mosurak
Human Eye
“Spiders and Their Kin” b/w “Desperate Hands” 7”
(Cass)
Human Eye’s records so far have all been pretty severe (and severely ignored), but this single is by far their heaviest in the traditional, proto-metal sense. “Spiders and Their Kin” is damn near perfect, the reason why bands make singles in the first place. It’s got a timeless quality that touches upon their electronically-dented sound as developed thus far, but introduces massive, Paleolithic-era riffage and a psychedelically drenched vibe that’s worked for the Apes and Modey Lemon in recent times, though far more unique and satisfying here. It’s blasted-out hard rock floating down the Green River on a trip gone bad, struggling to claw out of a punch bowl of soggy Frankenberry while “Land of the Lost” throws out cheap scares from the TV in the other room. The song never really peaks, either, as the band just lays out one champion moment after another, be it a bleeding solo, a demented lyric, or another colossal go-round at the disorganized main riff. Really, this song shouldn’t work the way it does, but because it does, it rules so much harder than you’d ever expect. “Desperate Hands” continues along paths these guys have already blazed, but with the antiquity required to measure closely to the A-side, a twitchy pit-dweller in line with the dosed drawings of the Twinkeyz or Simply Saucer at their peak. Mandatory to own and the best single of 2007 so far. Nobody else is making records like this, or this good..........................

What is the CLONE DEFECTS become Chicago's Finest? Oh, dissolved! Already in October 2004! But also a pity. But Tim Vulgar held in touch with the label, where the last slice of CLONE DEFECTS appeared, and so now comes the debut of HUMAN EYE via In The Red And damn, this is not easy with this record, which incidentally also very good Criminal IQ Records to pass it. Incorporated in the basement studio of Ryan Sabatis by the PIRANHAS, the 12 songs are not easily digestible food for in between, but heavy substance in incredible sound quality: total time and lärmig overridden, then again bearable, but in any case, a record that can not be times Incidentally can hear: Here trashiger collides with garage-punk komischem Art-rock Gedudel ( "Seymore") and psychedelic, then again, noise that obscure any Livemitschnitte of MC5 as a children's birthday, and, the synthesizer effects are also cool and everything between cheesy. And in a song like "Age" I was then at the first hearing is so annoyed that I had weiterskippen. An intensive and complex record, but not for bad nerves or bad mood. Rage, rage is so affected by this album idealst support emotion. (33:36) (07/10) (Joachim Hiller)

The new tracks are AMAZING guys. Vagobon made my jaw drop to the floor. Can't wait for the new LP. Will you be touring the west coast at all in support of it?
