and he has been paying his dues in the Montreal industrial scene for the last sixteen years, he joined forces with french experimental guitarist
Gibet in 2003, the duo have drawn comparisons to Montreal GSYBE and industrial hero's Psychic TV,
more recently AlBéRiCk joined forces with the godfather of Montreal noise/experimental rock Reuel Ordonez,
they have released three albums together which is a good sign for any collaborative effort in a environment that houses
so many projects and efforts that put out one album and than fold,
the three inch cd-r from walnut+locust records starts off with that high tone melodic white noise that maggot breeder has become famous for,
if a blank white canvas had a volume control and you cranked it as far as it would go it would sound as vast as this track,
the sound scape builds with the high pitch screams of locust or cicadas to a comfortable level and stays that way for about the first ten minuets,
through out those ten minuets you can hear
a distant string instrument twanging discordantly set to the roar of a jet engine, as the track progresses you start to pick out the sound of more and more
horrible machines and air raid sirens, crushing wheels and thunder,
the mayhem dies down at the fifteenth minuet mark and an empty desolation spills out,
the song leaves us with a chanting monk choir and electric buzzing wires,
if im being honest i enjoy .cut and maggot breeder separate more than together, the simplicity and distinction of their solo work is more coherent
than this collaboration in my opinion, in ways it sounds like a .cut song and a maggot breeder song played at the same time,
with that said the talent and experience of the two artist comes through by the end of the twenty minuet track,
maggot breeder .cut are doing a great favor to industrial music in Canada, with the last twenty years industrial music has been under attack from
drum machine ravers, but its bands like .cut&maggot breeder that keep the dream alive,
the art for this album is a simple plastic sheath with a color print out two page pamphlet and a walnut locust catalog page,
