Artist Detailed Info: Morphoex

Not much info is available about this French-based electronic project, based around the figure of Isthmaël Baudry. So much for biographies.

the album travle:Travel is a perfecly adequate name for this work of abstract wanderings in much undefined times and place. Morphoex take the liberty to span the territory between rhythmic industrial, modern electronica and dark atmospheric synth journeys, moments glued together in a generally un-consistent frame of continuity, though. Morphoex's travel starts charged up with buckets of energy, yet offering a few interludes of class dark electronica in between, then sobers up past the half-time mark to give way to more ambience, yet retaining-even enhancing, in fact-the enigmatic sense of abstraction that permeates the work. France has a strong tradition of electro-industrial artists with a pinch for dark atmospheres, like Flint Glass or Mlada Fronta, citing the most up-front examples. Morphoex somehow follow on these much revered foot-steps, only to fail by a large margin the goal of impeccable audio quality, somehow vital to these kinds of elaborated soundscapes. Then again, this might just be my point of view. In fact, were this a vinyl release, it would work quite well, but on digital media, it just doesn't cut in an affective way. Originally released in a ltd ed of 500 cds in a crystal box. Gianfri Darklife magazine
