From a review...
Farmakon
A Warm Glimpse
Elitist
Im speechless. Utterly, catatonically fucking speechless. What sort of people are Farmakon, anyway? Nasty, evil headfuck ones that any right thinking people would stop from going anywhere near music ever again if A Warm Glimpse is anything to go by. Jazz, melodic thrash, alt.rock (aka them bits what sound like Janes Addiction) all come at the same time from all angles to try and make the listener feel as if theyve just been buggered by an elephant while sticking magnets in their ears.
This is a pain in the arse of a record that makes Tool look like a kids recorder class in terms of obtuseness. Its simultaneously enjoyable and wrist slashingly annoying. Its fantastic, but at the same time you find yourself wanting to take the fucker out of your CD player and use it as a Frisbee just to make it STOP! And therein lies the ultimate charm. A record so challenging that youd be prepared to have a fight with yourself over whether its good or not.
Fancy an internal bust up, then? Buy this album.
