- EFFICIENT REFINERIES - EPINERVIO - CD
Efficient Refineries founded in 1995 by Miguel
A. Ruiz from Spain and Siegmar Fricke from Germany
(both active in the electronic sector since the
80's) is the clear audio-definition of pharmacoustic
industronics. After various private CD-releases
the CD "EPINERVIO" involves the complete spectrum
of their excessive electro-experiments within
the last decade. Syncopated rhythm-constructions,
medical filtered ambiences, clinical pulses, digital
distortions and manipulations of analogue material
characterize the neurolytic sound of meccano-clinical
autorhythmatics.
Edition of 300 hand numbered copies in jewel case.

Review
from Vitalweekly.net
Siegmar Fricke is a busy man these days. If not working
on something solo himself, or with Maurizio Bianchi
in collaboration, he works as Efficient Refineries,
together with Miguel A. Ruiz. Both have a history in
electronic music that goes back to the good ol' 80s
with their cassette releases. They work under this alias
since 1995 and have released four CDs, none of which
I heard. 'Epinervio' is their fifth release and it dabbles
in the field of electronic dance music. Although it
goes into various directions, the main direction is
that of ambient house. Deep, atmospheric synthesizer
patterns lay the heavy fundament of this music, and
the rhythm ticks nicely away. A voice sample is thrown
in, occasionally. While techno inspired, I doubt wether
this will get many feet moving on the dance floor. The
music is certainly too strange for that, too angular,
too hooky and too dark. But perhaps in a more daring
chill out room, this might work. At home it certainly
works nicely, good entertaining music with a darker
edge. Nice to play when you do the dishes.

Review by Maurizio Bianchi
"PNEUMONIC CADENCES THINNING OUT IN A MALEFIC CAPILLARITY.
THE EFFICIENT REFINERIES ARRANGE RIPPLED EXCORIATIONS
IN THE UNCERTAIN NUCLEOPLASM OF OUR SUBLIMINAL SUBMISSIVENESS.
THE PAINFUL BLEACHING CONTAINED IN THIS 'EPINERVOUS' WORK
WILL COMMUTE THE DISSEMINATED JOCOSITY INTO A LEAN AND
ORGANOLOGIC MACROMOLECULE. THIS IS THE RESOLUTE PROGNOSIS
FOR ALL THE PHONIATRIC AUTOSUGGESTION!"

Efficient Refineries - Epinervio
Vote 8/10
Efficient Refineries e' il cappello sotto il quale opera
il guru della concrete-music Siegmar Fricke insieme con
Miguel A. Ruiz (gia' Orefon Gagarin e Ventral Metaphor)
e che vanta nel suo curriculum importanti sodalizi artistici
coi nostri MB e Giancarlo Toniutti. Roba da audiofili
fuori dal coro insomma, soluzioni elettroniche allo stato
puro che nel presente "Epinervio" sono frutto di studi
farmacologici e algolritmi propulsivi perfettamente asettici.
C' e' tutta una letteratura di carattere medico sperimentale
alla base di queste argute terapie di ritmo-rumore chimicamente
formulate dai due compositori-scienzati, titoli com"Gangli
Motori", "Neuralisi" e "Polmoni Radioattivi" parlano gia'
da soli, ma quel che riservano e' un trattamento di audio-ipnosi
mai cosė efficace e fatalmente contagioso.
