Play 90 second soundbite of 'Oisk Obi' @ 'CD quality'
this is bold and brash electronica to test the resolve of even the most arty of you experimentalists. Sitting loosely somewhere in amongst hard-core post-rock and industrial electronic experimentation, Gusto Extermination Fluid goes straight for the jugular with a powerful upper-cut of hedonistic sonic music that steam enthusiasts would liken to an engine room full of heavy beams and oily pistons, of recoiling springs and pressure-relieving valves and similarly mechanically noisy interjections.
Yes, industrial it is - but, somehow PT or Gusto Extermination Fluid makes it all seem very organised and squeaky clean; 'The Cleaner' does indeed cleanse (the senses) as it works its musical lotions and potions into your psyche with absolutely no respect for your sanity or peace of mind. At times 'The Cleaner' is brutal and machine-like, at others its satisfyingly harmonious and soothingly fluid - Gusto Extermination Fluid eases its way inside of you and leaves a numbness behind that's usually only associated with mind-altering chemical intake.
Gusto Extermination Fluid's 'The Cleaner' won't be for everyone - of that there is no doubt. But, if you're prepared to give it a chance it's actually very rewarding and extremely intoxicating. 'The Cleaner' is much more than it may at first appear. This is something that you need to be prepared to spend time and effort with - give it a chance and you may just find yourself feeling fulfilled and somehow relieved to have explored its possibilities and experienced its inner beauty. 'The Cleaner' is something very different but very, very interesting!
'The Cleaner' by Gusto Extermination Fluid is indeed art-noise, it's adventurous, it's experimental - but, I have to say I really enjoyed being part of PT's experimental industrial techno world for just over one hour by way of its ten longish tracks that take you through emotions and thought processes that are scarily diverse but ultimately relaxing. Very clever stuff this - one for the open-minded, one for the mind! A head-trip without after-effects, hangover's or tissue damage but, beware, it's quite addictive!!
