THE FRAGILE PATH
World's End
(CD, Sin Salvation Records)
New York based John 'Juda' Nevadomski is not only an award winning artist but also the founder of Sin Salvation Records and the man behind World's End. The entire "World's End" album is written, produced and performed by Nevadomski with the exception of "Nur Schwer Verbergen" which is a collaboration with En Esch (of KMFDM and Pigface fame) who provides words, vocals and additional programming to the track. Deliberately lo-fi in nature, "World's End" mixes analogue and ambient themes with a dash of industrial to create a crisp form of dark ambient beat-infused music. Sometimes featuring unintelligible and obscured vocal musings, Nevadomski's music has an element of dark atmosphere but somehow lacks that extra depth to really draw you in. At just three minutes, the much touted En Esch track is nicely constructed with typical German vocals and a tense sharp electronic backing. Oddly, the track that follows it, "Mass Inverter", is some sort of trashy dark techno affair while "Strays" is a sort of pseudo futuristic electronica diversion. Returning to the earlier dark ambience, "Dreamspace" resonates electronically whilst an oddly manipulated spoken word vocal adds something slightly disturbing to the mix.
