Or take the near-exotica of “Seventh Gun Territory,” starting off with a solid minute of galloping rhythms and klaxon alarm, before a percussive ritual swims into focus, somewhere between an Indian tabla meditation and a Polynesian drum ritual. The riddims give way to ecstatic cries and orgiastic moans, suggesting a soundtrack for a pan-cultural Tantric ritual. These strange scenes are just an example of some of the joys that B-O-M has to offer – alien and exotic visions the likes of which you’ve never dreamed of. That’s what electronic music is capable of, untethered and unrestrained by physical reality. It’s a mistake to limit sounds and songs to recreations of acoustic music, when you can sculpt whole new sonic galaxies out of thin air, made of whirling particles and grinding beats, unearthly timbres and textures conjuring alien atmospheres that glow in phosphorescent half-light. I review NCHX's new one, B-O-M, on the exceptional new @plastic_horse label.
