I continue to find nuggets of Adarkah Ianqu's inspiring from deep sleep future series and have just plucked a gem that sprung long before the others, subtitled {alternate choise late 2012}.
Ianqu's obvious intent was to build a base for something huge and enduring, as each test-water track acts as a path and/or portal toward final exception and third test's entrancing turf (each reviewed separately, earlier this month).
"Land" starts this alternate choise session: dim and graffiti-sprayed as it takes its long, raspy gasp. Like other Ianqu teasers, it paints aesthetic discord: a perfect warm-up to its on-the-heels sequels, "hidden image" and "Enclosure", which insinuate final exception's sardonic "one night the lies end" (though such evident influence can be found in any of exceptions' deeper crevasses).
"Hidden image" and "Enclosure'"s resulting residue leads to much needed "psychoanalysis", where the mind and soul (with all their adjacent, prodding chords) snap with insatiable fear.
"The trains of flee" and "eternal stream" follow, with nipping notes that create mating links of further unrest. One entry stirs a bleak, dripping atmosphere, while the other shakes reckless instability. In either case, they allude to final exception and third test's "Jerusalem" chapters: majestic in breadth, but each with evident tricks up their industrial sleeves.
To sprinkle the austerity's final phase, Ianqu offers a flavorful, if not grating "price" (for all petulant purposes, an implied Faustian tryst), joined by "as any hope", which taunts the listener with a conquering roar to cloak its developing, endless descent.
On the whole, Alternate choise is a mood-inducing injection, which jumps the gun for Ianqu's inevitable, sleeping-giant dosages.
For those who wish to experience the artist's doom-and-gloom commencement, it awaits at
