2004 release ** "M.O.P. come from the Verona area and this is their first work, even though the band, under another name, has been active for fifteen years (Notturno Volgare was their first moniker). "I am my own parasite..." Nirvana sang in Milk It (In Utero): the idea is a parasitic sound, suitable for film music (in this case our guys have created the soundtrack for some shorts by Toni D'Angelo, already assistant director of the magician of redemption Abel Ferrara. And excuse me if that's not much). A music that takes possession of some scraps of different groups (from Pink Floyd to Joy Division, from Slint to Mogwai: in the latter case listen to the long Seven), that opens up to extra-musical experiences (from Philip Dick's readings to cinema) and then proceeds on its own path without wanting to resemble anyone else; a music that seems to self-feed in an insane closed circuit, from the alienated tones of Kafka hosting the voice of Irene Salis, to the disturbing An Echo (close your eyes, imagine the possible sound of alien eggs ready to hatch and there you are).The progression of I Support The Plattform! almost seems like a new Wearing Your Smell by Motorpsycho in a post-rock-interstellar setting. There are ten songs in total, divided into an A side and a B side, to underline the conceptual differences between the two groups of songs: in fact Kitsch (the initial piece on the B side) is a track with an Arabian-like progression slightly touched by a trumpet that makes the whole thing very jazzy. God Me is a (very beautiful) part of the soundtrack of the Bukowski short, Casoria, and stands out for its simple but at the same time majestic pace, just before the two acts of Pleroma, in which the stasis of the first part is mirrored in the second. Killer Elite closes, a hypnotic song dedicated to Toni D'Angelo."
