"Flowers and anarchy!" (100blumen)
Although the electronic sound assaults seems like a long way from this artist's punk rock roots, the inspiration from punk prophets like conflict, discharge and crass is still of great importance to 100blumen - that is a citizen of full age, the scrutinization of authorities, politics and beliefs. But he does not consider his music 'political'; however track titles and some samples can be used as thought provoking impulses - if the listener decides to.
Musically, Floral Annihilation is a consolidated package of energetic, percussive pieces, interlaced with many facets of electronic sounds - repetitive, impulsive and suggestive. 100blumen focuses on a balance between hard danceable industrial noise (characterized by the artist's own description of 'polyrhythmic rock and roll') and lo-fi influenced less aggressive tunes. All this is combined with a 100blumen / Loss collaboration ("Pussywillow") and two remixes by P.A.L and Heimstatt Yipotash. This CD is a truly fine follow up to In Floriculture There Is No Law!
