review:
ODRZ is from Italy who likes to take part in the release list of TIB Productions. ODRZ have originated from conclusion of a path of research that, starting from the exploration of sounds and rhythms of the industrial noisy wave, and passing through a re-examination of the concept of concert, reaches the final maturity realizing some sounding projects within which interact not only musical events.

Perhaps there's nothing more interesting than to read numbered track names. Okey, there's no need for names, sounds talk for themselves. However "ODRZ07" starts resolutely, walks firmly towards extreme industrial monotony. Mechanical power and electrical contribution makes the whole not so simple. Good. That was "No.1". Further goes a trip into the depth of unheared/ hidden friction sounds among bolts. It's even so ambientish. Evolving by the principle of waving, the construction doesn't have any stability, and that is for the listeners sake. But isn't it too early to play such a relaxing track? Now who would answer me? "No.3" – is like a preparation before kick. You know rough feedback, waiting for attack with sharp/ screaming vocals infront, but luckily ODRZ conqure my stereotypical (in some way) prejudice. Bravo! "No.4" – mechanics repeated in a more subtle way – with more agression (I hear vocals?), violence, it seems that with every minute it's getting noiser, wilder, and then rhythmical monotony intrudes ("No.5") as though even a synthetical (?) train slowly passes in front of my eyes... has anyone criticized ODRZ track structure?... and I was already in a mood that I'll hear different motif (with some dash) in separate track, "No.5" dispels that mist. The beginning of "No.6" is the most mystical part in all the album. It is vibrating, swaying, flying feedback like a crazy witch on a boom. Suddenly someone unseen/ unheared disturbes it and it pours all its agression. It repeats a few times. Good idea. With "No.7" ODRZ starts to lose my affection but later primitive strokes reminds me of its power of noise. Finally "No.8" (is it some kind of mistake) is like a clone of "No.3".

In conclusion: ODRZ plays noise (couldn't you understand it from words written above?) in a good way, not crazy Japanesse (who said it's not good?) but what I like in such noise is the possibility to go along with sound progression. It's not so fast, nor too slow. It was a good experience. Their live action should be something incredible.
