REVIEWS :

Another outing from Harris/Bernocci, this one is not at all like overloadlady, and I was a bit disappointed by that. Nevertheless, an interesting disc. The beats here hover in a tempo range that is unusual for both Scorn and Simm, they seem almost dance-floor fast, but certainly well below the fernetic rhythms of jungle. The beats are more treated here, more experimentation with effects and the sounds that accompany the beats are overbearing and exotic. I still don't know quite what to make of this record. Electronica for the headfucked? It almost sounds like a bastardized version of what some truly creative people can do with the Chemical Brothers/Crystal Method modus operandi. The final track just stops, is this what it is supposed to do?
