L'Anus Solaire - Manifestation I : Orifices

Let's go into the minds of the ultra bizarre L'anus Solaire. (Apparently L'anus Solaire committed suicide - expect sales to soar.)

For the record, I will refer to the tracks by their English titles here. Opener "Flowing:Mortality" starts with a nice Glockenspiel style childlike intro, with what sounds like an air siren in the background. And what's this I hear? Urination, or Vomiting in the background. Sexy! It won't take you long to realise the depth of the Erotica here, just look at the project name. Anus!! Excuse me while I stop giggling.

To quote from the online marketing plea : "This record was conceived as an erotic experience, exploding orifices - anus, wound, vagina, mouth - until a final, grotesque revelation"

If titles like "Slit:Calling", and my personal favourite, "Incest:Animality" Don't appeal to you, I suggest you press the "back" button on your browser. Porn, Incest, Bestiality, and Ambience. What more does anyone want, or need? Except this in your local record store soon!

So what's the music like? Well it's typical Ambient, with frantic and distressed Electronica, and more than a hint of illegal antics performing in the background. Infact, I'm listening to "Incest:Animality" right now. Don't ask about the Intro. It's disappointing, I don't hear sheep or Donkeys. Lovely Orgasm sounds though. I shall assume that they were created by regular and ethical means. I suggest you do too.

All puns and sex jokes aside, the music on here actually succeeds, nice deep Dark Ambience, Violent Noise Exchanges, and occasional tortured vocals. Sadly, I have no idea how to contact the label (I assume it's self-released), and tragically, we won't hear from this project again.

I don't know if the creator committed suicide in the literal sense, or just ended this project, but one thing is for sure. It choked and spluttered to the end. Here come the puns again! But to all extents and purposes, Erotica is so hard to write about seriously, especially when you have a mind like mine, and an album with Anus in the title.

Now, all butt jokes aside, this album should be pulled out the bottom of everyones piles, rear its ugly head once more, and ass-ume its rightful place in everyones rack. Points to those who counted all five puns there.

Check it out. Christians, Priests, and the like-minded need not apply. Dec 01 2006
