Mana Erg's The Blind Watchmaker is a shifting series of complex industrial/ebm sequences and fragments:
twitching and fluttering electronic noises leading into industrial song, falling suddenly
into floating gothic ballads or hyper-sped hip-hop loops or other electronic excursions.
Operatic female vocals soar over slashing guitars, synthetic beat sequences develop
slowly amongst dissonant electronics and panning noise patterns.
Lyrically . . . the themes of social and familial angst don't always connect, but
musically there is a lot of interest here. The Blind Watchmaker keeps you off balance, uncentered which
adds to it's mystery, and makes each listening a fresh one.
