A review by
Lucas January 04, 2011
aTelecine is an industrial/noise/black metal combo (more or less)... Featuring... Wait for it....... Sasha Grey. Oh yes. Yes. Oh yes. Yes! I am hereby admitting that yes, I am a male and I definitely, definitely, definitely cannot stop drooling over the fact a world-famous *uhum* star is in a industrial/noise/black combo (sort of). Call me immature, call me a hormone-crazed teenager, call me whatever the hell you like... I'm just very amused at this very little fact. And I like everything sensational.
In all seriousness, though. aTelecine. A Cassette Tape Culture is perhaps one of the prettiest little records you've ever heard. Delicate little melodies tumble over other tiny little melodies, birds sing their little songs in the morning sun, glimmering drops of dew come crashing down from the burnt trees in this barren wasteland, ravenous beasts claw at each other in a desperate hunger-crazed battle. Well, uhm, actually none of that is really true, but you know what I mean, right?
Ok, for realz, aTelecine is a mixture of looped squeals, screams, squeaks and everything else vicious. Sasha's distorted orgasms serve as vocals, something heavy pounding on something metal serves as drums, hisses, mindlessly repetitive, imagine Eyehategod fistfucking Godflesh or if you're not into overly-obscene references just for shock value than just imagine something really minimalistic, metallic and noisy. That'll do just as well.
So what's the value of this little baby if it wouldn't have been co-created by Sasha Grey? It's hard to say, really. Is it really necessary to look at this, purely from a musical point of view? We're on a music site, so yeah, maybe it is. But then again, in a way, knowing who is part of this little ensemble does enhance the grey, oppressive and depressive nature of the music, doesn't it?
Good night to y'all, sirs, I'm off to collect some more of the girl's material. There's nothing else to live for, anyway.

I second everything you said, since I discovered this yesterday (thx to you) I've been listening to this non stop + other Sasha Grey material. I like this record and even though I can't find the words to explain why, in the end I don't need an explanation,I just have to sit back, listen and *** away.

Damn, Sasha Grey, huh...fuckin' shit. You know I'm a recovering porn addict and then you tell me about her making MUSIC! I remember seeing her myspace profile about a half year ago. She wrote black metal as one of her interests, but DAMN. I'm checking it out... and probably relapsing back into my porn addiction. Thanks fucker.

Damn... Do you guys know how many albums have they done? I need to get their album names like now... The question is really interesting though.... It's not bad at all, I like it... But it almost seems like at least 75% of the reason is Sasha Grey. That's kind of embarrassing. But yeah... I'm downloading the crap out of this thing. I'm already an addict so my situation isn't nearly as bad as TheBigRossowski

Edit: Some of the songs on the myspace page remind me of this classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14xY1lxLMkI Nozzzing!

I'm gonna take this one, I guess it'll be much better than the EP Written by Lucas on 04.01.2011 at 16:56 Brother, we're always behind you and I personally support you to death  Death to morals and god bless erotica...Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 04.01.2011 at 17:38 But some of porn films are much better than most of pointless films that go up in charts in Box Office... Watching (91% of) films these days is a waste of time not just porn... Anyway, watch Srpski Film (A Serbian Film), it was one of the rare moments that I liked a film in in recent years... Worth a watch imo...
