1984 was a pivotal year for A Split-Second. Originally a new wave high-school band playing covers and a few own compositions, the first line-up disbanded as composer, singer and bass player Marc Ickx went more electronic with a primitive sequencer and drum computer. Without previous studio experience, he started recording “STAINED IMPRESSIONS”, a demo tape recorded in single takes with cassette-to-cassette overdubs.
In between recordings he met with Chrismar Chayell, an old classmate who had a small multi-track recording studio. Chayell had already recorded among others the full length TWILIGHT RITUAL album “The Ritual”, and offered to produce and record five of the songs at his studio. The first five songs on “STAINED IMPRESSIONS” were recorded there. Chayell also arranged and played a keybord part on “TEARGAS AND CHAMPAGNE”, marking the beginning of what was to come for A Split-Second.
The songs also mark a transition, songs like “HUNGER” and “NEUROBEAT” were written by Ickx for the previous line-up, of which “NEUROBEAT” was the only song to make it to the debut album “BALLISTIC STATUES”. From the other songs, parts of titles and lyrics were picked up for later material, and “RESIGNATION” was the blueprint for “RIGOR MORTIS”. Most of the other songs are largely improvised in a search for the new direction Ickx’ songwriting was heading for.
Largely raw and primitive, “STAINED IMPRESSIONS” provides an interesting look into the genesis of one of the most influential alternative electronic bands of the 80’s, and the variety and experimentation that marked this era.

SONAR is a Belgian industrial project formed in the ninetees and todays line-up consists of Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem..

With high-energetic live performances, they became soon one of the most well-known and appreciated rhythmic-industrial projects and their sound can be described as cold sequenced drone rhythms, white noise outbursts, and bass pulses.

This 8th full lenght release of SONAR called SHADOW DANCERS brings you 10 incredible tracks with a full spectrum industrial sound ...

An album you might put on repeat !
