Kommando
Electronic Spasm
Compact disc in matte 6panel digipac. "Electronic Fear" & "Funky Spasm" originally released in 1994. Remastered in 2026. Layout by salt KOMMANDO was conceived by Dan Courtman as the darker, more anxiety-inducing counterpart to his alter ego, THOROFON. The project's earliest recordings date back to 1993 and were self-released the following year as two cassette albums: 'electronic fear' and 'funky spasm'. The surviving archival recordings and artefacts from this period have now been compiled into this CD, documenting the formative stages of a sonic identity that would remain distinctive throughout the project's subsequent releases. KOMMANDO conjures a post-capitalist dystopia reduced to zero: a society collapsing under the weight of its own hubris and its failure to cultivate humility. in this desolate world, everything crumbles into dust, leaving behind a poisoned atmosphere in which anxiety festers and inner demons take hold. Death industrial, power electronics, and dark ambient collide in a claustrophobic sonic architecture where desire, fear, and rage are stripped to their most primal forms. relentless, abrasive, and suffocating, KOMMANDO drives these elemental impulses into a state of perpetual tension, pushing consciousness towards disintegration. What emerges is not merely sound, but the spectacle of consciousness turning against itself, trapped in the ruins of its own making.
