I
never heard of NEUVA GERMANIA before this CD, even, if they have a couple of
releases. Unfortunatly, I cannot give any informations about this project,
neither about their personal, nor their political background. The cover
artwork of this release contains a collage of black/white pictures of German
soldiers, Marilyn Monroe, skulls and bones, advertisments from the 50s and
much more, but I don´t see a conceptual intention behind this...or I don´t
understand it. The music of NUEVA GERMANIA is somewhere betwenn noisy
Industrial and ambient loops with a lot of samples, humming and a nerve
disturbing machine-park noise. Sometimes I feel remembered on early
Controlled Bleeding or Germany´s Endzeitgeneration and even on some Japanese
Noiseslaughters like Aube, Merzbow and Gerogerigegege. This could also
support films of derek Jarman like „Blue“ or „In The Shadow Of The Sun“, but
it is sometimes close to unconceptual noise like in the early 90s Tape scene.
Maybe I would understand this release better with some additional infos, but
in this case, I really prefer Controlled Bleeding´s „Body Samples“ or „Dub
Songs From A Shallow Grave“ albums. If you are into such sounds, listen to
NUEVA GERMANIA very (!) loud through headphones, maybe it will give you the
kick to kill people with a machine gun. (A.P.)
