Formication - Ghosts (Omnia Exeunt in Mysterium) [Harmful - 2008]

Ghosts (Omnia Exeunt in Mysterium) is the second full length from British Dark electroncia Duo Formication,and it really sees them  kicking into high gear to create some of their most  psyche and head effecting tracks so far.

At it’s best and most effective Ghosts (Omnia Exeunt in Mysterium)  pulls you deep into a paranoia  soacked and dark place that seems to threaten to enveloping and melt ones sanity and even the world around you. I don’t know quite how they’ve done it, but it’s almost like they’ve imbedded the music with some unruly and shapeshiting demons trails. The tracks pace are often  more  suffocation, more noisy and dense than their work before- imagine Coil’s Black Light District turned up to ten with intensity, with a side order of Autechre at their more unnevering, panic driven and mind effecting. The tracks are mainly ultra dense layered up with drill and hallucinogenic synths and beat fodder, weird vocal trails, juddering harmonies and other unnevering sound trails, with even the slower more ambient tracks having a string in their tails. Things are only let down slightly by the tone been brighten and made less intense towards the end of the album- but I guess this is an attempt to return the listeners mind to normality.

A turely dark and paranoid head fuck of an electronica album that should really come with some sort of health warning. Trust me  I wouldn’t operate heavy machinery, drive and certainly never attempt any kind of drugs with this, as I’m sure it’s possible it could drill boar holes into your grey matter with it’s malevolent and dark spirit.
