Troum - Mare Idiophonika 2010
Are there any other Troum releases like this? The tribal drumming does it for me.
Possibly the lengthy, closing, Troum offering on their split/collab with Christian Renou. Though I'd guess you'd already have that. The said offering deals suitably climactic drama to a release that surprises in its soundtrack-y aspirations.
Part 3 of the Tjukurrpa trilogy Rhythms And Pulsations would be the other obvious contender though perhaps only a couple tracks approach the sound you seek. (Still the full trilogy ranks among my favored Troums.) Tribal drumming does seem to be cropping up with increasing regularity in the more recent Troum discography, though again not in a way that dominates a la Mare Idiophonika.
Rhythms (or pulsations) in general certainly feature big in the Troum oeuvre, particularly the more "primitive" sounding recordings to which I gravitate, though these rhythms -better: throbs - are often well submerged and are as likely, to my ear, to contain martial or industrial elements as they are something more tribal. When I'm not reminded of the early, dirgier, CMI catalog, or the more amorphous, oversaturated, S-Core efforts, I hear Vivenza - that name again! - if one were to take the concrete factory machinations, massively overdrive the bass, and smooth everything out into, dark, saturated, throb-ient, dream textures. (Dreaming Muzak, from 2006, could serve as Troumified outtake from JM's Aerobruitisme Dynamique, but I digress.)
Into this general sphere I'd spin a couple reissues:
Darvê Sh / Ajin
Autopoiesis / Nahtscato
And:
Kapotte Muziek
Framaþeis/ Vār
Ryna
Maeror Tri did this - "primitive, overdriven, throbbient" - from time to time, perhaps increasingly, and rather naturally I suppose, toward the end – check the two part Hypnotikum swansong.
