MH-223 Thavius Beck - Decomposition  The sprawling arrangements on Thavius Beck's Mush debut, Decomposition burrow into the listeners brain with a mix of melodic samples, chopped breaks, pulsating synths, and head-swirling delay, then morph into genre-bending sound paintings adorned with hallucinogenic vocal samples. Four vocal tracks, "Open Your F*@!ing Eyes" (featuring vocals by Thavius Beck himself), "June Gloom" (vocals by Subtitle), "Amongst the Shadows" (vocals by Cedric Bixler-Zavala of Mars Volta), and "Demons of Destruction" (vocals by Longevity of Darkleaf) find homes among instrumental tracks that are as densely layered and expertly crafted as is found in modern electronic music. Decomposition is a work worthy of extended headphone listening. |

| Thavius Beck's experiment in downtempo, Decomposition, is a slow tempo, hypnotic trip. Virtually every sound is messed with, from cut-up vocals to reversed beats. The vocals, which add to the record's spookiness, are provided by guests Longevity (Darkleaf), Subtitle, Cedric Bixler-Zavala (Mars Volta) and Thavius Beck himself. Get your headphones and get ready. - Impact Press |
