"Record of the Year:
Martin O'Cuthbert:'B.E.M.S' (Esoteric Records)
Seriously, when I played this record, something on the wall suddenly quivered. There are also witnesses. Martin Ocasbert is a super evil person (listen to the record) or a ridiculous idiot (listen to the record). Maybe don't be big in Japan. I think it's all because of Yamaha's organ, but how can I make such a terrible sound with a synth? "
(John Lydon "New Musical Express" July 22, 1978)

"INDUSTRIAL MUSIC FOR INDUSTRIAL PEOPLE !!! [Noise-filled disc guide 511 selections]" A collection of pathological alien synth music that will be sent to you with the selection and commentary of the author, Tamotsu Mochida! !!

Martock (early active under the name Martin Ocasbert) is an English writer / electronic and electrical musician who appeared on Earth during the post-punk period and is still active. Inspired by John Foxx, Fad Gadgets, Kraftwerk, Eno and others, he is deeply devoted to science fiction and fantasy literature, including his countrymen J.G. Ballard and Iain Banks. It's unclear if the composition developed into his own work, but the mighty power of his Dark Force was proved by numbing John Lydon (and in his debut work).

He rejected all major invitations and released everything independently for the noble purpose of "creating lasting music that doesn't look at things that are in line with disposable products" (!!!). There are 11 singles and 13 albums. In the recording, I used a lot of drum machines with a crunchy synth sound that seems to have been sent to aliens and a collapsed groove feeling. All 10 songs The Best of Martock selected by Dr. Mochida, who took the great works that are completely ill (= difficult for earthlings to understand) !!!! (Professor Boredoms Yamazuka) It ’s a little famous for its favorite!?!)

In the previous work "Isted Serenade", the amplification was modest and the emphasis was on the deep acoustic sound, but in this work, his new frontier is heard with the electro sound that has been synthesized (synthesized). On the surface, that's the case, but his philosophy "isophonic" is still pierced in the core, and what is expressed through Young's unique conprovisation (composition and improvisational compound word) is "isophonic. His world that continues from "Bugiugi". Therefore, the degree of discipline of the sound is different from that of the electro guys there, and the density is able to withstand deep listening. Also, the sound pressure and facial expression of the sound was a problem until the end of completion, and his realism still living in Brooklyn is reflected in the tension of this aggressive and tingling sound.

This collection, featuring seven pieces from 2011 to 2015, celebrates Noah Creshevsky's 70th year with a fittingly life-affirming and masterful verve. An award-winning composer who has studied with Nadia Boulanger and Luciano Berio, he began composing electronic music in 1971, using the power of circuitry, tape and then digital technology to create a "hyperreal" musical world in which recordings of human performers, both vocalists and instrumentalists, are juxtaposed and recombined in compositions which span eras, cultures and genres. His use of expanded musical palettes arises from an aesthetic of inclusion, guided by an open spirit and an expansive musical sense. The combination of the emotional power of human performances with the precision of computers create real-beyond-real super-performances of surprising control and virtuosity, resulting in a hypothetical and yet very real music, full of drama, humor, and tenderness. This CD, Creshevsky's second release on EM, following the 2004 "Tape Music" compilation, gives ample evidence of both his mastery of digital technology and his profound, empathetic musical instincts. His ability to use the computer to highlight the gifts of human performers is displayed on every track, including a piece which focuses on Japanese vocalist Tomomi Adachi.
