DISTINCTION
Sun Pandämonium
Florian Hecker


Sun Pandämonium is the third full-length release from Florian Hecker. Moving away from the harsh digital buzz and wash of his previous two full-length computer music albums, Sun Pandämonium strikes the listener from many angles with a diverse range of fiercely dynamic electronic scenarios. This CD is quite simply some of the finest computer audio excursions unleashed in recent years. As one reviewer stated, “This record is electronic music as psilocybin science.” Or, as the American online journal Pitchforkmedia states: “Loud and overwhelming at any volume setting,” Sun Pandämonium contains "the sounds and frequencies not only of diamonds being sharpened, but then being used to etch directly on the lenses of your optical readers. Call him a sick fuck, a genius, or even Mister Antichrist, but this will cleanse the audio palate as it blows your teeth out.”
