Das Ultra - Rule
Dance/Electronica, Powernoise, Industrial
Germany
Overall Impression: Appealing to humanity's obsession with law through a single, simple lyrical line, Das Ultra's "Rule" offers listeners a demurely disorienting departure from the status quo! With bold sonic roots and a clever sense of design, "Rule" harnesses the trance-like and destabilizing effects of Powernoise to deliver a deceptively multi-faceted experience with potentially philosophical impact.
Strongest Point(s): The frequencies selected and employed for the duration of "Rule" are incredibly effective! The fullness of the bass retains a great deal of presence and character without unintentional distortion or overlap - giving the track a highly polished and artistically impactful quality. Silly-sounding but still quite thought-provoking, the short and repetitive vocal sample tethers the experience to a message and offers listeners a very interactive and engaging space. Thoroughly, "Rule" shows an intentionality of design with lasting impression!
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of the Industrial Electronic tones of the Rhythm'n'Noise or Powernoise genres will find the sound and style of "Rule" to be right up their alley - though the artistic efforts of Das Ultra have refined the track into an experience with the potential to resonate among a diverse range of listeners!
