HANSEL
Lorentzian Lineshaper
Label: D-Trash Records
"This was a tough CD to review, and even a tougher one to listen to, which is probably why I liked it so much."
Hansel is Alan Fux (vocals, samples, arrangements, orchestrations) and M.X. Lopex (samples, sequences, programming).
Hansel is also a clash of genres and a study of the thermodynamics of disparate sounds traversing against the grain. Pranksters and poets, Hansel is what Suicide would be today if modern computer technology was available.
Little things on the CD become the crux, like the glitchcore rendition of Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker", or a sample of strings, which, I believe, were taken from W.A. Mozart's "Requiem" mass on "Cypress Millwood".
Articulated throughout the CD is the notion of a chronic collision of molecules and galaxies, best evident on the punch and duck sequence of "Hookwormz" and "The Uncertainty Principle", but also in the "advanced technologies developed by monkeys" lyrics expressed on the latter track.
The track most resembling accessibility, "We Are Important", collapses into the manic flyswatter infestation of "Zlotnik" and a broader pattern develops, which can only be ascertained if one is willing to sift through the chaotic data streams and listen to the many paths of sound to reach an independent conclusion.

Weasle - Rhythm Guitar/Keys

Five dudes bound by an oath of rock 'n' roll. They roam the wastelands of standard, boring, paper dry, modern Brit pop bands, leaving them in their wake with their big hair, big anthem, hard hitting, glam rock style.
Glowing like a beacon in the cold dark night.
Hansel is just so hot rite now.
The Uncertainty Principle
Hansel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For other things to study.
Advanced technologies
Developed by monkeys.
Our minds are getting strong.
Our body's getting weak.
And it won't be long
Before we're forgotten.
I lost my gift of site.
Perceptions of light
To the atmosphere.
I'm breaking out of here.
Someday our lives will end
And the world attaches to the sun
And the suns of the galaxy
Collide to make one
The Galaxies collide
As the universe collapses
And the energy that makes us
Will be here forever.
Hansel's "The Uncertainty Principle" is a song filled with thought-provoking and profound lyrics that touch on themes of human evolution, technological progress, mortality, and the eventual fate of the universe. The first verse is about the advancement of human technologies, which are developed by monkeys, suggesting that even though we are at the top of the evolutionary chain, we are still connected to our primal ancestors. The second half of the verse talks about how our minds are getting stronger while our bodies are getting weaker, which may be a metaphor for how humans are becoming more intelligent but more reliant on technology as we progress.
The second verse is a reflection on the fragility of life and how it can be taken away unexpectedly. The lines "I lost my gift of sight, perceptions of light to the atmosphere" could be interpreted as a metaphor for how humans can lose their vision of what's important in life due to external factors like societal pressures. But the song ends on a hopeful note, describing how our energy will never die even after our lives come to an end because it will be absorbed into the universe as the galaxies collide and merge to form one.
Overall, The Uncertainty Principle is a deep, introspective song that encourages listeners to reflect on the importance of self-awareness in the face of technological progress and the inevitability of mortality.
