Cool mixture of remixes, tributes, anti-mixes, whatever you wanna call it. Homage. Each of the eight pieces are new versions of tracks chosen by The Implicit Order, and gradually redefined with the now-standard Implicit Order engine. Echoey loops, weird spoken passages and ambient room noises populate the frequency spectrum. Some are quite noisy, others more austere.

REVIEW: THE IMPLICIT ORDER - FOR YOUR EYES ONLY EP

The Implicit Order - For Your Eyes Only EP, 2011

THE IMPLICIT ORDER
For Your Eyes Only EP, Bandcamp, 2011
Three-piece refresher course on Anthony Washburn's aesthetic. The title track is dark, rhythmic, Bill Nelson style atmospheric, new-agey in a good way, relatively uptempo epic at seven and a half minutes. It's a cross between gorgeous and hellish. "Kingdom Of Blood" features christian preaching-type stuff, behind reverby synth pads. I prefer the instrumental stuff, "Monsters Among Us" is pleasant little three minute bit of haze to round things out. Is this my first time hearing The Implicit Order? Maybe it just feels like it. Now I'm a fan.

Is there anything you're feeling particularly mouthy about at the moment?
The prolificness of net labels that release EVERYTHING an artist produces. Not everyting an artist does is releaseable. It's OVERKILL!

Let's talk about your musical influences. Who are your biggest influences and why? Who were your early musical influences?
De Fabriek is probably the biggest, as Richard Van Dellen was like a mentor to me when I first started. He gave constructive criticism when needed, and encouragement. Throbbing Gristle comes in second as they let me know that I could do it myself, and not to pay attention to any trends or rules, and I really just loved their fucked up sound and attitude.
