...Infected Burst might, at first assumption, sound to some like something gross, puss, a pimple, a mess maybe. But- here's what I think: The "burst" is the expression itself, like socially conscious free jazz, the music BURSTS forth through the pain/complication (INFECTION) existing inside the artist.
So--- indeed, the Infected Burst is a very good metaphor for that sort of process of creative expression! (Phillip B. Klingler aka PBK from PBKsound Radio)
...Infect Burst tries to combine "hip hop rap song and radical noise improvisation". As I have zero knowledge of hip hop or rap music, I am not sure if they succeed in that respect, but I can see some of that in the way they sample voices and try to adopt a hip hop rhythm here and there (I may have heard some). The aspect of radical free improvisation can't be missed here and as such the balance is more on that side of the musical spectrum than on the hip hop side. There are many vocals around here anyway, but they are (a few guests are credit for this, and I assume for some vocal contribution). I think Detesta is the one responsible for some samples of scratched records (another sign of the hip hop influence). All of this is played with some furious intent and the thirteen tracks take about thirty-six minutes. Many of these songs are short and to the point. A controlled explosion of energy; or perhaps a rather uncontrolled one. That is not easy to say. Somehow I don't think they will win over hip hop fans to enjoy this, but for those who love free improvisation, this certainly holds a few surprises. The samples, for one, aren't that obvious and the occasional continuous rhythm is an odd-ball in the free improvisation world. It all works quite well, and according to the information, they will be on tour. I am sure they are going to raise hell. (Frans de Ward on Vital Weekly)
Sorpassando a destra la nu-electro Tom De Testa(sampling ed elettronica) e Emilio Bernè (percussioni e diavolerie), di fatto i Burst, si infettano con Mario Gabola, tra i più acuti animali sperimentali che abbiamo, tanto per dire A Spirale, SEC_, Weltraum e più recentemente Genital Warts. La musica sobbolle e suppura di recurdescenze digitali, rumorismo futuribile e frammentazione, con potenza e virulenza, sputacchiando frammenti-cartoon screziati di sangue. E' tetsuo dance, che ha già disarticolato i neuroni. Qui non si dice "sta roba spacca" ma "sta roba spappola". C'è però un controllo sempre, le bestie meccanoidi che prendono vita sono tenute al guinzaglio ed è la tensione della corda che alza il tasso di adrenalina. Ad ascoltare X-man e Wo-man è chiaro che, volendo, qui si potrebbe fare del meta-electro jazz visionario. Scrive il manifesto Napo dei Uochi Toki: DaUn'altra parte / da Un'altra parte / Sindrome di DaUn'altra parte... annunciando i tempi della x-topia. Il bioaccumulo con l'hiphop radicale s'incrementa ulteriormente in Merda Oscura Che Sublima, là dove anche i trappers sbiancano. Uno sgomitare muriatico necessario in questi tempi infettivi(vi). (Dioniso Capuano on Blow Up)
