POORDREAM - 'Immaterial Monarch' CD [33CD001 + SLQ007]
Immaterial Monarch is John Valasis' aka Poordream's own adaptation of a truly exceptional experimental music conception, the absolute experience of an internal trip. Drawing influences mainly from the Zeitgeist movie series, Immaterial Monarch features 3 tracks by Poordream, which carefully blend genres such as IDM, ambient, electronica and experimental world music, as well as the same-titled track remixed by no less than 7 different artists.
With this debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. This is as raw, open and confessional as music can get. Drawing comparisons with Max Richter, Deaf Centre, Johann Johannsson and The Protagonist, A Wake A Week will evoke cathartic exorcisms of woe in even the most glacial of hearts.

We only put on our clothes. Who can see the children feeding the endless, ravenous hunger of the textile mill? Mechanical mouths that aren’t choosy. Silken thread. A lock of hair. A scrap of scalp. Tiny, torn fingers. We only turn up the heat. Why think of the boys in the mines crouched over the chutes? For hours they sit, sifting the refuse from the coal. Their backs bent. Old men by nine. Black lung by twelve. Coal is heavy and hard. Hands are soft and fragile…crushed. Feet crushed. Skulls crushed. Go for a walk, you see them. Boys and girls, selling themselves to men and women. A nickel buys a virgin. Some are kept in cages. Babies bought by men who raise them as livestock. Animals to abuse. Soft flesh to violate, to tear and bite. If anyone causes even one of the little ones who believe in me to sin…it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea! They must open their eyes! They must open their mouths and drown!
