Runtime: 12'25''

«Resist to the paradigms of conventional aesthetics, resist to the sound language simplifications and resist to - and subvert - the protocols and flows of information. This is the work of Minus Pilots, a multinational duo (recently upgraded to a trio) that absorbs and paints it by meticulously manipulating information provided by the media (copy-paste), mixing it with its own counter-information. Voices, characters, phrases and words echoes and slips from the hypothalamus to the cerebellum, managing to achieve that information subversion which has been faithfully provided before. A coming and going of atmospheric sounds which not only relaxes but also shuffle the perception and the time-sense of the listener. The constantly ascending and descending mental states (!), reinforced by delays and soundscapes, create a unified conductive thread, between the digital and the analog, giving it the necessary amplitude, creating sound consistency and making this an excellent EP.» – Bruno Barros

Reviews:

«Well I actually stumbled upon this on accident. I was looking for this obscure X-Files refrencing track, (which I still haven’t found) called Ten Thirteen. I think it was by the Dust Brothers or something, but I’m not particularly sure. Anyway, I saw this on soulseek and checked it out randomly and fell in love with that one song (Ten Thirteen by Minus Pilots). After doing some research on them, I found that their only mentions relate back to ‘Test Tube: A Netlabel’. In itself this is also quite amazing. The label is genius, and I haven’t had time to check out the other artists, but I’m sure they’re just as intrigueing. Anyway the only thing I can find is their latest EP released under creative commons. I think if I can find a way to purchase something by them I will.»

«Simply amazing. This whole EP is just calm and beautiful. I can't get enough of 'An Exit'. 5 stars.»

«The distorted backward masked communications that brings melodies to new scapes with 3-D living cubes! Loved it 5/5!.»

«The Netlabel test tube impresses again with its current release: Minus Pilots's 'Central Industries EP'. Spherical sounds accompany the listener into other worlds.
Music to dream. Fantastic!»
