An odd one to review. In some respects this is a great record, being high energy, moody dancehall that is ludicrously exciting. Indeed, most of these tunes would be guaranteed to fill a dancefloor in seconds.
However it’s stripped down strength is also it’s Achilles Heel as you hear everything on the first listen. Depth is non-existent on this record and I’m pretty sure that most of the sounds are lifted straight from a Casio keyboard and a Roland 909, which gave me the odd sensation that I was listening to a rave in a computer game.
That said I will certainly be bashing the fuck out of crazed tunes like “Get Crazy” and “Enemies” while studiously avoiding midi rubbish like “90’s Backyard” and “Coco Drunk”.
