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.
