    Press Reviews
    St. John's Eve-"At The End of It All" CDR- All I can say is wow! The stunningly belligerent 'The Situation', which practically opens the disc, dares to combine brutal power-noise with huge and all-encompassing beats, reminding me of APHEX TWIN's 'Come To Daddy', but more hateful and aggressive. That's saying something. Then it's on to the grinding mantra of 'Rita', which feels like a metal cheesegrinder drawn across the skin in a slaughterhouse. Following all this is the moribund death-ballad 'It's Getti ng Harder To Climb Back Up', which then gives way to the soft and warm, ENO-esque ambience of 'Surfacing', which, dare I say, is like a REAL 'Music For Airports', complete with the distant-yet-constant cyclic hum of the jet engines in the distance. And th is is just the first several tracks on this 46-minute monster! Later on, there's more evocative soundscape work, combining samples and what could be radio transmissions or field recordings into tension-packed wallops of what sounds like civil unrest (in the creepy 'The Search', which ends with a, well, bang). 'Obsession' brings interestingly effected hip-hop beats into play, while retaining it's distinct sense of unease and eerie post-goth vibes. 'At The End Of It All Part 1' submerges a plaintive guitar melody underneath blistering noise, and finally, 'At The End of It All Part 2' is, as the title describes, the sound of the coffin being lowered into the ground while the rumble of the living goes on around. I love releases like this, as it's so easy to write about music that evokes such vivid mental imagery. I say kudos to St. John's Eve mainman J.K. Weichert as this is simply a superior release.
