Illinois electro soloist Andy/Rew Ernst has taken the best songs from his two previous cassette releases, added in a few new tracks, and released his latest tape, Blood and Meat.  While the music composition seems to be of high quality, I can not say as much for the recording that I received.  I realize that demos are not going to have the best production, but this particular demo seems to be a 2nd or 3rd generation copy.  Aside from not being a very 'crisp' sounding recording, there is also quite a bit of clicking and clattering between some of the tracks (as if it were dubbed on a less than perfect recorder.)  Well, onto the music itself. EffEct 47 has a wonderfully varied style to the music.  Some of it fits nicely into the harsh Euro electro category (think Wumpscut, Hocico, Allied Vision) while other tracks lean toward the ambient side of music.  There are even a few tracks that display some synth-pop stylings.  If EffEct 47 is one thing, it's diverse.  Rew seems to know his machines well and he gets a good deal of interesting sounds out of them.  For a one man project, EffEct 47 is impressive indeed.  If you can get past the poor recording quality, you might want to checkout EffEct 47.  Hopefully Rew's sending out better copies to labels and reserving the less quality ones for reviews like myself.
