Following in the footsteps of great techno acts like Kraftwerk and Orbital, UK\u2019s Go Yoko creates music that is catchy and accessible, but at the same time abstruse enough so as to not be some sort of a mass market musical project. This duo\u2019s debut record White Noise Riot<\/i> is relentlessly danceable from start to finish, but it\u2019s not your typical club record either. This album, containing no real vocals (with the exception of one song), with its angular rhythms and complex synth compositions, provides a soundtrack for both the pondering listener and the rave partygoer.<\/p>\n
Although this is not an album of big beats, it is beefy, with heavy, clanging, pulsating rhythms, which give it a big electro-industrial sound. This is especially the case with \u201cEdison,\u201d \u201cAnimus Maximus\u201d and \u201cNightfall.\u201d With the random bleeps that are a part of every track, there is a nostalgic Nintendo quality to the music on White Noise Riot<\/i>, which gives it a playful demeanor within its heavy synth exterior. As a dance record with no vocals, this album sometimes has a surreal feeling, especially on tracks like \u201cDotDotDash,\u201d \u201cThe Game,\u201d and \u201cNocturnal,\u201d where they resemble the cold and spacey sounds of Kraftwerk.<\/p>\n
An album sure to be most appreciated by the thoughtful dance music enthusiast, White Noise Riot<\/i> nonetheless doesn\u2019t necessarily share the experimental proclivities of a lot of records of this type, such as incorporating elements of different genres. This is an album of 100 percent synthesizer and beats onslaught. This is an intense record, no doubt, with most compositions nearing or going over five minutes. Still, even though the songs on this album all rigidly fit one format and one format only, the amazing thing is that it doesn\u2019t sound at all monotonous. Each song is unique and different from the other. White Noise Riot<\/i> is not just a great album, it is an absolutely brilliant one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":31538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[9179],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-43241","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-go-yoko","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/43241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/43241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=43241"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=43241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
