Tekst: Bas Ickenroth

How far can you go? Call it glitch-to-the-xtreme, call it extreme computer music (that's what the bio prescribes), call it what you will. Fact is that not too many people would consider PXP music. Fuck, the first track is minutes and minutes of loud static, and only static. I'm used to some serious experimentation in sound, but this goes too far, even for my standards. I also think it's a bit too easy, because the static isn't representative for the entire album. As the album continues, the static steadily decreases in favor of electronic noises and dubby echoes. Sometimes even a thing that reminds of a beat cares to drop by. Not for long, unfortunately. With a bit more musical structure it would have been a much more enjoyable event. And except for the first track, the rest of the musical efforts are not as extreme as for exampleTeleform, who managed to create a complete album bordering the fine line between music and sound. One thing stands out: PXP is the embodiement of human absence. The computer has taken over, no need for human emotions whatsoever. Seen from that point of view, PXP draws a frightening landscape filled with grey concrete factories and huge computers, with no place for mankind. Scary stuff.
