WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

"Ignition" begins on the soundtrack of 'Prometheus', latent, spatial, far from our good old earth, or what remains of it; some 90 seconds later, the deluge, a musical fire, notes that fill the space or what remains of it; the sound has progressed since their last album, the change of members? The break which stops the diffusion of incandescent lava, the bass with a hint of PINK FLOYD, between memory and evolution, the keyboard driving the point home on 'Animals'; the air starts again, rises again and it is the psyche synth ambiance of dB which dominates before launching Boris into a stratospheric solo; breathtaking finale for a remake of 2001 today. "Collision" continues, pleasure of having sound always in the ears; Jalil is already at ease, as is Walter, to keep the fire going; collision like the Matrix and its confusion, in what world are we really, where are we elsewhere without realizing it...a gripping dark electro title that you have to remember to take the right pill for. "Kali Yuga" follows, water that we hear, Sunshine and fire that flows, Danny BOYLE's delirium set to music, a reverberating sound, an orgasmic, frenzied journey to save humanity; a long guitar solo to captivate the listener and leave him speechless in front of this riot of notes; the tune is intended to be hypnotizing and takes us to a dreamlike crescendo; a little water, air, oxygen and...

"Rackman" taking up the notions of Solaris and the question of guilt, redemption; its again electro-dark wave stoner, invasive; it's Boris at the helm who sends far away, who dynamites the air to put you in a trance, in a syncopated position, in excitement; a stoner thrash riff for headbanging no less; final with a drum explosion before launching "Collapse" yes if you don't think of them, it's because you are very young or innocent; cover, remix, recreation? The title that sets you in awe, a revisited 1984, from the Floydian masters, a delirious sound in the good sense of the word with a passionate guitar solo, a maximum stoner mid-term break surfing on pink psychedelic clouds and a groove hypnotic; frenzied finale that doesn't come back to earth, too bad for you. The title which gives all the psychedelic power of this extraordinary group.

MONKEY3 psychedelic stoner rock, that's it; an album exploring the future of Man, his destiny, his madness through five cult films. (perfect in genre).
