CEUX DU DEHORS

The first post-Roger Trigaux album from Univers Zero leads off with a track entitled Dense, and that's a great description of the difference between this and Heresie - steering away from long, slow sections, the band launch themselves into a fury of complex playing which takes their chamber rock approach to amazing extremes. Triomphe Des Mouches is, strictly speaking, a single tacked onto the end of CD issues from the album, but it fits this neurotic, hyperactive approach so well that it works great as a climax to the piece; the thunderous pendulum rhythms at the conclusion bringing the album to a close in apocalyptic style.
