ADARKAH IANQU'S SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: SOOTHING SOUNDS PER TENSION


Adarkah Ianqu's electronic experimentation keeps coming--and morphing. The latest is a tight-knit queue called sympathetic nervous system, which supplies seven selections of emotional states, formulated to coax, appease and above all, irritate. 


The album's opening track, "poros and penia" presents an exotic, peppy drumbeat that sparks juxtaposing realms. The selection is fancy but full of discourse, shoving cognition down hills and valleys that not even the hippest behaviorist would touch.


The jolting "jo mojo" follows, its echoes more submerged in its fly-swatting strokes, but no less enlightening for the despair: another epic lead-in for the emotional excrement to come. 


"Unlimited libido" is a rebellious response, which for all its implied doom, thrives with profane insinuation. One pops with the sinful spin, but comes out clean as a puritanical whistle. 


For the sake of instilling some comatose samples, "ziati" and "silent sheep" churn a hearty, pied-piper thread. Their buzz burns into the muddled mind, enough to make one panic, but there one remains, marching to the beat of that same effervescent, one-trick drum.


To ram the final nails into the pounding culmination, "dwa" and "three days and tonight" elicit suicidal wrath, though never take the vain, fatal plunge. Instead, these tracks rotate like mad machinery, ramming themselves into the ground if only to prove that no self-destructive cycle can be undone. 


After listening to sympathetic nervous system, one will realize that no matter how intense one's insanity becomes, Ianqu's sounds are there to cloak, provoke and when all else fails, understand:
