Fetisch Park - Alluvial (1997)


Driving, techno/industrial-leaning electronic abstractions partially built around the singing of Thai prostitutes, recorded by the band while staying at a hotel in Bangkok. In the hands of a lesser artist, this could have been a disastrous exercise in exoticization à la Enigma, but Fetisch Park imbues these recordings with genuine, even frightening power, making for a work of art that's utterly fascinating -- both conceptually and sonically.

Track listing:
1. Malaysia Hotel
2. Blow
3. Gradation d'humour
4. Reiz
5. Off Line
6. Pongh
7. Ball-Room
8. Cargo
9. Kadse
