It's pretty easy to create electronic music. Sterile beats mixed with emotionless synthlines programmed into a box that replays it all with no feeling, just blinking, apathetic lights. It takes something special to take these machines and craft a sound that not only conveys incredible emotion, but also vulnerability. Sure, machines may not make mistakes, but us humans that use them do. Repeatedly. The music of Medicant Downline is a look into the future of invention, creation, and emotion. When the line between Man and Machine becomes so blurred that even the most astute MENSA member can't tell if Deep Blue is flesh and bone or merely Intel Inside, worlds collide in a ferious mix of confusion and exploration.
From the ashes of former CT electro-rock band Dirt Conceited, Medicant Downline has risen like the pheonix. With the musical genius of Ether on full display via both lyrics and music writing on CD, the -MD- live band takes the vision to the masses with the sound of 30 angry Germans. Ether mans the guitars and stomps the fuzzbox vocal pedals as front man of this audio buffet. On bass and back-up vocals is Skeesix, making sure the low-end justifies the means. Behind the two-tiers of synth destruction is RPD, commanding both the pretty strings and harsh industrial beats. Just when you think MD has mellowed out, a piercing scream tears through the melody from guitarist Slick. Medicant Downline is a sight to be seen and a set of songs that's best heard up close and personal!
