Description:

This disc is so textured, it practically suggests the sound of sludge. Dense samples are layered one on top of another, creating a thick, intriguing environment. The grooves are relentless, sometimes underpinned with a heavy bass drone. At times, like on the terrific "Rhino Jockey," wonderful tidal waves of sound come pounding out of the speakers. And even though some of record sounds like Ellington and Gershwin going to hell on a holiday with Alec Empire, there are plenty of more laid back and jazz-flavored moments. There`s even the eccentric Quadraceptor doing his kooky human beatbox on "Precursor."
But these are just the beginnings of this discs` many pleasures, which will reveal themselves upon repeated listens.
