Non, aka Boyd Rice released the album "Children Of The Black Sun" on Mute on 26th August 2002.
"Children Of The Black Sun", Boyd's 12th release on Mute and the follow up to 1999's "Receive The Flame", is released on CD and comes packaged with the added extra of a DVD featuring a 5.1 mix of the music. The first CD release of its kind, when the DVD is played on a 5.1 DVD system, the eerie nature of the album takes new form. Be warned: don't turn the lights off - Boyd is all around!
Try to imagine a soundworld of limpid, undulating noise where the orchestral textures of Holst's The Planets and the distortions of the Velvet Underground can coexist. Something like Wagner remixed by David Lynch perhaps, and you may be getting close to this CD, an unusual and eerily beautiful new album from Boyd Rice: one of the most controversial and uncompromising pioneers of the US Industrial Noise scene.
Perhaps the album's inspiration in the arcane world of Gnosticism has something to do with this new mellowing - or is the unexpected precisely what we should expect from the mercurial Mr Rice? Whatever the case, there's no doubt that it's an exceptional piece of work whether in CD form or even more so, the immersive world of surround-sound DVD.
