Artist: RE:DUXTION
Album: Three Lillies
Year: 2006

Re:Duxtion is a solo project done by Christophe G. According to the biography, this solo project is created in 2005 and this Christophe is also known for his works in Drug of Choice (which doesn’t ring a bel to me) and he is also an ex member of Die My Darling, Immaculate Corrosion and Wardrobe Cathedral. Christophe also remixed some songs for a few bands, and with this solo project he released two pieces so far, and he appeared on a compilation released by an UK label. ‘Three Lillies’ is one of the pieces he released, which is a three-song demo/EP.

‘No In/Be:tween’ is the first of those three tracks, and it already makes clear what Re:Duxtion is all about. Don’t expect any brutal blastbeats or wild sampling. ‘No In/Be:tween’ is an easy listening track, mixing industrial with ambient, sludge and a little doom metal. This results in a deep and atmospheric song, with dangerous sounding synthworks and surprising guitar riffs. ‘Intrinsic’ (I still have no idea what that word means by the way!) is the next track. The basics are still the same, although the song sounds completely different. This song has a colder attitude, and the doomy guitar riffs gives this all a certain ambiance you can’t deny. Sonically I think this is the best build track, and after listening to this release for a few times I must say that this is my favourite track of the record anyway! ‘Denial’ is a different track, which etalages the EBM influences more and more. This results in a danceable track with metal guitars and spastic beats. A good track indeed! Yes, again! In the end, Re:Duxtion turned out to be a positive surprise for me, and you can be sure that this record will be played many more in my CD player. And even though my media player tells me the artist of this record is called ‘Redusxtion’, it will not spoil the fun! Fans of ZNO, Low Distortion Unit and Elend will understand my final rating after they heard Re:Duxtion for sure, and lets hope that Christophe manages to reach a bigger crowd with his music because it is really worth it!

Vote: 75 / 100
