U.S.S. - "Take My Advice, Open Up Your Tired Eyes"

Third album of Mécanosphère, Limb Shop (2006) is the soundtrack to the inner landscape of an hallucinating mind who suffered real and fictional amputation. Reconstructive sonic/rythmic/lyric surgery. A circular voyage into a labyrinth of heavy dub, chaos rock/ trash jazz, noise and alien drone ambient. Transgenetic at heart, the album was co-released by Soopa and produced by HHY.
