Plastik Mekanik review of Duality

French-Canadian blog, Plastik Mekanik, recently posted a review of Duality.

Below is the English translation -

"... On air, I've often talked about the album 'Duality' by FluiD (Alrealon Musique),
but I never took the time to say a word here on my blog.
It is a very interesting album and a nice surprise.

First, we feel that FluiD has a good musical experience (this is not his first release)
and that he knows where his music lies.
It's very well done and the work has been done with plain honesty.
This album does not renew a particular genre, but the music tissue is strong enough.

You can feel the influences (Dalek, Scorn and a few others).
FluiD does not try to imitate what his predecessors have done,
which is very appreciated and is not something we see that often in music.

It's heavy, murky and the rhythms are as nasty as we like. We are hoping that the following
releases are going to be as good as this one. Maybe his next work is going to be less
colored by his influences and still allow FluiD to keep his sinister attitude.

A nice little surprise, heavy and yellow that comes out of nowhere, released on a fresh
new label, that I believe we'll have to follow!..."

Sonomu Review of Duality

FluiD - 'Envisioning Abstraction: The Duality of FluiD' (Alrealon Musique)

"...First actual compact disc from French-Swiss-American label Alrealon Musique, a digital delivery system since 2008 determined not to be pigeonholed by anything but its own taste and recognition of talent.

FluiD is from Chicago but has obviously long been breathing in the fumes floating over the Atlantic from the various fires lit by Kevin Martin over the years (Techno Animal, The Bug). FluiD´s is a big, rusty dub, machinery suffering from metal fatigue, pressed into one final push before the Four Horsemen ride in. Envisioning Abstraction has a nasty, growling demeanor, but a well-developed melodic sensibility, which even reveals itself as quite sweet on 'Dread Futures'. Although sampling freely, only 'Iron Communique' features lyrics, composed and chanted through a slaughter of guitars by Black Saturn.

 There´s something distinctly global about FluiD´s record, which has nothing to do with resorting to plucking exotic sound flora. A piece like 'The Absent Present' seems urgent to address everybody everywhere in a kind of musical Esperanto.

 FluiD´s pieces generally get straight down to business, communicating volumes in three to five minutes where others would stretch a less interesting idea to far greater length with much less impact. (In fact, his longest track is his least successful.) This is what makes 'Envisioning Abstraction' a great album, one Kevin Martin is probably listening to..."
