JSCHIZOID
Divided & Conquered
(God Rekidz) GOD34
Some of you may be familiar with Canada’s Schizoid and his Covered in Metal release not long back. For the uninitiated, it was an mp3 release of industrialized covers of artists as diverse as Biohazard, Guns n’ Roses and Meathook Seed. Schizoid’s other alter-ego is JSchizoid, which adopts more of a dark ambient/noise outlook, relying heavily on influences such as Lull and Deutsch Nepal.
Divided and Conquered is a 40-minute journey using classic Dr Who soundtracks as the main platform. Crawling, industrial coldness is interspersed with the warmth of lo-fi samples and buzzes. It is the follow-up to That Is The Price of Immortality - an EP based on the music of the Indiana Jones trilogy.
‘Origins of the Universe’ is scary in its sparseness, while ‘Anyone Can Understand Science’ showcases some very familiar Dr Who sounds with a cello loop and classic white noise akin to many Cold Meat artists.
It is an ambitious and somewhat admirable project that JSchizoid has taken on, and it results in some fine, dank, moments, especially when familiarity couples with the foreign as it does at the tail-end of ‘Profits of Human Suffering’ when the Tardis and JSchizoid fade to black.
