Product Description
Album Description
This is the debut full-length release from Paris' Zombie Zombie. This project is lead by two people, Etienne Jaumet and Cosmicneman (from Herman Dune) using sound and rhythm to explore the feeling of fear growing deep inside of you. Listening to their music, you will go through different emotional stages, especially when they play with the analog effects of instruments like the Theremin, keyboards, or space echo tape-delay pedal. Also, the provocative drumming and the screams will make your heart beat faster, like in a horror movie -- when your car won't start, and someone's trying to kill you. These are the types of feelings this duo try to reproduce in their music, also inspired by horror movie soundtracks from George Romero, John Carpenter, and music from bands like Goblin, Suicide, Raymond Scott, Silver Apples or Can. After their first 12" release on the Parisian record label Boombomtchak Records, this album was recorded and mixed by Antoine Gaillet in their research lab, in the Paris heat of August 2006. They also invited extra musicians such as guitar players from the bands Turzi, Herman Dune and Friction. Since then, they've been playing in small clubs in Europe, and also music festivals with big names like Jean Jacques Perrey, The Chap, ESG, James Chance and Sonic Boom.

good but..., July 8 2009

This review is from: Land for Renegades (Audio CD)
The rest of the album can't match up with the first track. Don't let it stop you from buying, though, it was still worth my money.

Zombie Zombie - A Land For Renegades, Mar 6 2012
By scoundrel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Land for Renegades (Audio CD)
Zombie Zombie sounds like a horror movie, and their first album, A LAND FOR RENEGADES, oftentimes sounds like a soundtrack for one. But instead of spooky sound effects and ambience, think instead of those glorious Eurosleaze films. "Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free," for instance, has an insistent pace and smothering synths, whereas "I'm Afraid Of What's There" amps up the creepiness factor by 10. Meanwhile, "A Land For Renegades" has a familiar theme, which I can't put my finger quite on, but it sounds vaguely Bernard Herrman-esque, and the processed voices on "What's Happening In The City" add to the strange menace. And never have the "Texas Rangers" sounded so ominous. If anything, Zombie Zombie creates these analogue moods -- even if its something more silly, like on "Nightclubbing." But it's the Moroder frights of fancy that make "When I Scream You Scream" and its ilk stand out. The album to make every day sound like Halloween.
