Artist: ZNO
Album: EP_00
Year: 2006

ZNO... This is a dark ambient / industrial act hailing from France, which seems very influenced by early Iszoloscope and Megaptera. It is not really clear what the title is of this new (released in 2006) EP, but EP_00 seems to come the closest according to the website.

The first song is called 3TECh, and it is very dark ambient likely with drum and bass influences. Kind like early Iszoloscope albums which amazed me. I could even hear some Japanese styled Hotaka drums at the end of the song that surprised me the most. The second song on the album is called ‘Redfill’. This one is a more dark ambient styled song which reminds me on my own project Raudivian Device. You can hear some mid tempo drums with claps dark soundscapes very suitable when you are travelling. The third song on this EP is called ‘Evul The True Experiment RMX’, which combines different soundscapes, drums and harsh reality into one single song which I like a lot. The fourth song is called ‘(Trill)’ which combines very ambient sounds with harsh drum work and machinery sounds. The last song on this ep is called ‘Path’, which sounds familiar to the other songs on the album. In the end, this EP was a very positive surprise for me, so you will not be surprised by my rating.

Vote: 90 / 100
