Shiriaki Lanxxess - It's Everyone, It's Bright

The best thing he has done to date. He kills them all. Shiriaki Lanxxess formerly the maroccco guy.
I know he is working on an album and I have listened to some rough mixes of early versions for it. This song here shows the direction the whole thing is going. Like a dance version of the film he is living in, it sounds.
He has a strange production method that is unbelievable. No normal person would get a track this great out of it. I doubt anyone would even get any kind of track out of it!
Listen to the track and get the feeling from the chords and sounds he is engaging. I cannot find anyone in the whole musical world that defines this vague space, one that has never been spoken of, like he does. I mean, thats the work of Ramin Ton anyway, but he really examplifies the thing we are up to. Think of the early 80s Kassettentaeter scene from Germany or the early 70s Krautrock movement that invented all these sounds that were all rooted so deep in German tradition! Thats what made them all so special. Shiriaki does it with the same enthusiasm but it is now. RIGHT NOW! What Ariel Pink does for the U.S.A. (the thing that is more than nostalgic, the thing that really takes something from US tradition that which would stay invisible without him telling it) this is what Shiriaki does here. A narration that will become historical I believe. Because it is telling us something different and important about the world that we without this artist would never be able to see.
