PAUL TAYLOR The Infidel

CD album | gg559
Paul Taylor is one half of Sutcliffe No More, formerly Sutcliffe Jugend. He is and was also a member of Inertia, Bodychoke and Slaves No More. Most of his music has its background in the power electronics scene that evolved in Great Britain. Power electronics is a style of noise music that typically consists of static, screeching waves of feedback, analogue synthesizers making sub-bass pulses or high frequency squealing sounds; with screamed and distorted vocals. The genre is noted for its influence from industrial. It is generally atonal, like most noise music and also features a lack of conventional melodies or rhythms. To match its sonic excess, power electronics relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content: whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance actions. This is what Paul says about he Infidel: "I have always drawn to Churches, Cathedrals, all places of worship wherever I go in the world. Enjoyed hypnotic repetitive sound church bells on a Sunday morning since a child. Moved by the sound of Gregorian and Buddhist chanting, choirs and magnificent organs. Despite always being a non believer, the atheist, the infidel. Repulsed by the hypocrisy of religion.This unique piece of music consists of actual live recordings from a service in Italy. The use of electronics and a Tongue Chakra Drum with additional samples. It is inspired by a long term fascination with all places of worship. Churches and Cathedrals are dominated by paintings of the crucifixion and suffering on every wall. The stunning architecture and years spent constructing and sculpting such buildings is incredible. The irony of worshipers blindly believing, donating money and giving praise to a man made myth. Not to mention the amount of abuse committed, protected by the cloak of religion. Yet there is beauty within all of these places, a dichotomy that I can’t explain. Listen with prejudice." Full tracklist: 1. The Infidel.
