Exterminating Angel is not your ordinary electronic dance band. The
Exterminating Angel treat their live shows as a ritual – creating
energy until the whole atmosphere is awash with power and you feel
reborn into a new creative soul. Often employing fire jugglers,
exotic dancers and fast rhyming MC’s - the Exterminating Angel bring
the whole performance art concept into the electronic dance arena –
which is often left void by most electronic acts.
Exterminating Angel’s sound has been cited by critics as "psycho drum
n’ bass punk music", "an exciting mix of new romanticism and dark
abstract tones", and even "a clash between the good and evil". This
type of sound can only happen when you put Xangel’s two lead men
together – Charlie Verrette and Liquid Acrobat. This music on this CD was made
from 1997 to 1998.
Charlie Verrette the techno rock cyborg has been fusing punk energy with
solid state electronics since picking up a mini-moog with Colorado’s
Dancing Assholes in 1981. Utilizing a song writing method that is
heavily influenced by Burroughs, Baudelaire and Bowie . Charlie Verrette is
the ultimate bezerker on stage, making Exterminating Angel one of the
most exciting live acts on the electronic dance scene.
Liquid Acrobat is the spawn union of the original hip hop scene and
the psychedelic space-head rock camp. Spinning everything from old
school rap to experimental electronic music for over 15 years, Liquid
A uses computer technology and electronics to blow the minds of
ravers everywhere from the East Coast of America to the West Coast in
San Francisco; working with the underground collective that he helped
form - S.P.A.Z. He specializes in drum programming, sampling,
electronic sound mutation, and tending to the organic vibes that
sprout from his digital garden.
