Fukte - Giallo A Venezia

While discussions about how giallo genre is associated with harsh noise wall, who copies what from whom in the scene and so on, I decided to try "Giallo a Venezia" - release by Fukte that was released in 2010. If I remember correctly, the 1979 movie "Giallo a Venezia" directed by Mario Landi was one of the bloodiest, most brutal, nasty, full of sex and nudity giallo of those that I've seen. CDr that plays for almost an hour was released by Toxic Industries, Fukte's label in edition of 33 copies. Disc starts from introductory theme by Berto Pisano. After frivolous fooling, moans and attention to women, a thick, multilayered wave of noise opens. Constantly changing layer of squeaking, raised above the monolith of low frequencies drives away the impression of absolute statics - it doesn't let you to run away further from the sound, but also it doesn't try to drown you in absolute wallness. The second track - sluggishly changing low rumble with a sample from movie on top of it. A violin, coughing woman etc. At the middle of the track, static fundament of sound becomes more open and in my opinion it goes better together with the sample. Or it's simply that the ear adapts to the sound. For at the very beginning of the track I got the impression that these two elements of sound does not fit to each other at all, but finally this formation became as rather nice. The longest track in the album - almost 18 minutes of interrupting mass of noise. You wait till it explodes, but it does not happen. Somewhere in the middle of the track, the noise becomes more silent and continues with the sample from movie on top while erupts to denser statics. Once more - towards the end, this track becomes a pleasant listening experience. Then comes the short last but one track - squeaks, interferences, moaning of woman - it's like passage to the last track. This one at first seemed the most powerful and massive track in the whole album. Slightly reverbed noise that gives you impression as if somebody would be working nearby, wielding metal constructions. Finally red noise or something like that comes to the foreground, excerpts from movie are heard while silenced low rumble becomes louder and brings you back to pleasant brutality. All in all this is not bad, conceptual release. What negative things I thought of while listening to this CDr? Lack of fullness of sound and sample overusing (of course this release is dedicated to a movie and I'm sure that's how Fukte saw it best, but as for me it seemed that in places they were used slightly tastelessly). Everything else - ok. My plans for now - to find Giallo a Venezia in a shelf and to try and listen to this album once more after watching it.
