M.B.

'The Sacral Inhabitat' commemorates Maurizio Bianchi's 40th anniversary as one of the earliest pioneering industrial noise artist who has been producing since the '80s. To describe this album by M.B. as immersive would not be doing it justice. Working with his long time collaborator and friend the German sound designer Siegmar Fricke this is a work of profound intensity. The two thirty minute tracks that make up this album completely overwhelm the senses. There is a plethora of constantly evolving shapes and sounds that make up this deeply complicated and complex work of audio sculpture. The use of crackling squalls of razor sharp sound was evident on their last collaboration 'Zersetzung' which was released by 4iB Records in 2019. However with the lengthy nature of the two individual tracks on here, that twisting cascade of granular sound has more time to grow and develop. These dancing particles are so finely honed they could be atomic atoms from the nuclear energy factory that adorns the albums artwork. (by Kristian Carter).
