Review @ Vital Weekly :
Confined to the more obscure corners of electronic music, sub-section ambient and industrial, is Another Headache. This is the musical project of David Bourgoin, who had a label (Work In Progress) and a fanzine (Progress Report); 'is' as, after many years of silence, he returns with new music as Another Headache. He started the project in 1989, inspired by Zoviet France, Throbbing Gristle, early Sonic Youth, and using elements from krautrock and minimalism. In the nineties, there were a handful of releases, of which the split 7" with Drome is one you still see a lot of copies. 'Still Nothing Definite', initially released in 1992 by the Portuguese label SPH Music, is now expanded with a few extra tracks, marking the thirtieth birthday of the label (and launch of a Bandcamp page with more oldies and newbies), and before releasing new music, the perfect introduction to what Another Headache was/is about. The music revolves around the pulsating rhythm of a synthesiser, not just a sequence or a drum machine, but the demanding pulse sounds cut short and looped. On top of that, Another Headache plays more synthesisers, now in a somewhat free modus and some wailing of the guitar. The krautrock inspiration is indeed never far off, as the pieces are long, minimal and pulsating. Oh, and at times a bit freaky. It doesn't share much common ground with the word 'rock'; that's where industrial and ambient elements come in, bleeping and oscillating away. While I enjoy this release quite a bit, being a sucker for all things industrial and ambient from that late 80s, I also see room for improvement here. Some of these pieces are a bit too long for what they contain or become a slightly muddled affair. What I enjoy most is the hardly heard combination of pulsating synthesisers and layers of distorted guitars. That is the industrial pyschedelica that works best for me. Some of this is an old hat, so I am curious what the new one will sound like.
