"Drafts and Crafts" is the fourth full-length Sci Fi Industries
release from the Portuguese Thisco label, and follows "The Air
Cutter," an album released two years ago. It also works as
somewhat of a mark for the project's ten years in action.
Clocking at an impressive 78 minutes, the content of the disc can
be divided into eight tracks of original Sci Fi Industries
material and eight remixes, procured from a stunning array of
artists in the rhythmic noise and industrial scenes.
The new pieces consist of some clearly electronic syntheses that
radiate a thoroughly alien and experimental vibe, making no
effort whatsoever for warm ambiences or anything that could
infuse a hint of humanity to soften up both the tracks themselves
and those cold, scientific hearts of ours. Instead the tracks
sport a rich and layered, low-tech electronic sound reminiscent
of old-school glitch electronics and EBM, right down to the
production values of the record. At times it feels as if the disc
warped in from sometime during the golden 80's-90's era of
aggressive electronics, yet it remains uniquely entertaining.
The remixes are almost a separate entity within the disc, each of
them infusing the Sci Fi Industries originals with the remixing
artists' unique flavors, resulting in some very interesting and
hard-hitting fusions of styles and sounds, and almost justifying
the release of the disc on their own merit.
The album in its entirety is a very powerful and energetic work,
housing immense aggression in its sound without succumbing to the
rigid cliche of obligatory harshness in the genre. Sci Fi
Industries manages to make cold look cool (pun intended) instead
of forced with this release, and for that feat alone it's worth a
thorough listen.
