专辑介绍

by John Griffin

Ultimately, Crash Worship is a group who is best appreciated live -- and it is for these bizarre shows that they are best known. Their concerts were outlandish spectacles of excessive sensory overload that could be best described as an early Butthole Surfers gig held amidst a neo-pagan orgy in the middle of a flaming pit of mud. All of the material on this CD originated from recordings of various shows on their 1991 tour, including one known as the Samhain Terror Rite, where jack-o'-lanterns filled with pig's blood were dropped onto the audience. ¡Espontáneo! is an earnest attempt at replicating that chaotic environment prevalent at their shows, but it still lacks the ability to fully portray the full ambience of their live performances. One such example is the first track, "Procession," which attempts to convey the sensation of being among the crowd as Crash Worship marches in, pounding their drums and igniting fireworks -- obviously an image best experienced in person. The trance-inducing rhythms are definitely the focus of each piece, as an ever-changing lineup of drummers -- including founding members Simon Cheffins and Markus Wolff -- hammer on their instruments like a Neolithic tribe preparing for war. Guitarist Jeff Mattson's performance on this disc is blistering, as he screeches and grinds like a rusty engine over the unyielding hypnotic beat. JXL's outbursts of screaming and chanting, which are reminiscent of Einstürzende Neubauten vocalist Blixa Bargeld, appropriately add texture to the primal nature of their material. Unfortunately, ¡Espontáneo! comes off as if it's missing something -- and that something is definitely the atmosphere that can only be experienced in a live setting. There are some really great moments on this disc, but as a live recording it does little to depict an accurate portrayal of an actual Crash Worship concert.

Espontáneo!
