│ │
│ New Zealand's downtempo-bass producer │
│ Consequence, aka Cam McLaren, always treads │
│ the line musically, to the point that the │
│ line became blurred entirely. His debut │
│ album, 'Live For Never,' reminded the │
│ electronic world of the intricacies and │
│ emotional heights of Drum & Bass, and carried │
│ the genre into new realms of sonic │
│ possibility. 'Live For Never' appealed to │
│ different scenes across the board (and around │
│ the world), receiving rapturous applause from │
│ electronic music's toughest critics (Resident │
│ Advisor, Boomkat, FACT) and magazine gurus │
│ alike (DJ Magazine, IDJ). In March 2011, │
│ Consequence made his second album appearance │
│ on Exit Records with Joe Seven, as They Live: │
│ the duo's 'Cancel Standard' was an immersive, │
│ sci-fi laced album that set the bar for the │
│ year rather high. Consequence decided to end │
│ 2011 with one more album, however: his │
│ long-awaited sophomore solo LP: 'Test │
│ Dream.' 'Test Dream' is not for those who │
│ expect the next logical evolution of 'Live │
│ For Never.' It's also not for the │
│ unadventurous, nor for those who seek easily │
│ digestible music. Creatively free, │
│ Consequence revels in pure electronic │
│ experimentation, and the result is an album │
│ that follows no rules, and explores fractal │
│ dimensions that defy conventional genres. The │
│ downtempo compositions on the LP manage to │
│ hold the intensity and propelling urgency of │
│ high BPM electronic music, even though some │
│ of the tracks are relatively beatless. │
│ 'Before I Go' takes the listener to space and │
│ back, while 'Can't Say' comes through with │
│ staggered synths and rugged drums, building │
│ an atmosphere where each sound tells a story. │
│ 'Marlo', meanwhile, is a welcome retreat from │
│ the tension built in its predecessors, with a │
│ reassuring melody, softly rhythmic snaps and │
│ handclaps, smooth vocals and warm pads. 'Of │
│ Uncertainty' reveals a slow beauty that │
│ builds with impeccable grace, adding colours, │
│ slowed vocals and tranquil atmospheres along │
│ the way. Ever a many-faced producer, │
│ Consequence's album takes a few forays into │
│ more haunting, cryptic territories. 'Just │
│ Water', filled with creepy effects and │
│ sinister samples, leaves the listener nothing │
│ short of on-edge, especially with a finale │
│ that sounds not much unlike C3PO being ripped │
│ to shreds. And 'Magda Trench' sounds like a │
│ video game that's burning under a microscope, │
│ rendering fractured pixels into outer │
│ space. Staying true to his roots, Consequence │
│ brings the album back through the tangles of │
│ the jungle, and voyages into heavier D&B │
│ landscapes. 'Oden' and 'Soul Sees Spirit' │
│ feel slightly apocalyptic, with soaring │
│ ominous-filled synth builds and hard-hitting │
│ drums that will darken (and deepen) any │
│ dancefloor instantaneously. There are many │
│ surprises tucked within, too, of course. │
│ 'Re-occuring' has ascending melodies that │
│ sound as though they could dance in a Giorgio │
│ Moroder universe: a transportive space-capade │
│ that gives an aural tour through a cluster of │
│ stars. Powered by a stuttered melody on a │
│ wavering synth line, 'Lovershell' is one for │
│ code-crackers: an intriguing ball of chaos │
│ that slowly starts to make sense as it comes │
│ together. The dub-drenched 'Slant' starts out │
│ mysterious in feel, takes a swift turn for │
│ anxiety and suddenly breaks into an enigmatic │
│ poem slowly recited in a sing-song │
│ manner. 'Untitled', with a yearning vocal │
│ that floats through an ambiguous atmosphere, │
│ closes the album on that typical Consequence │
│ note: with lines being tightrope-walked and │
│ left obliterated. 'Test Dream' grows and │
│ unfolds more with each listen, giving way to │
│ explorations of dense sound universes. │
│ │
│ │
│ note: track 12 contains two hidden bonus tracks. │

│ │
│ SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool │
│ rips to the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a │
│ small operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim. │
│ │
│ SWEET is our most recent offspring dedicated to bring you quality │
│ electronic music that is not included in SOURs regular genre list. │
│ │
│ SWEET is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to │
│ the public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. │
│ │
│ Specifically: │
│ │
│ . SWEET is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently │
│ available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to │
│ attempt to purchase an original copy. │
│ │
│ . SWEET is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer │
│ be available to buy. │
│ │
│ . SWEET is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of electronic │
│ music worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, │
│ specifically in many remote countries where traditional distributors │
│ can not afford to target. Also, the availability of electronic music │
│ in an easily accessible form expands the potential for real world │
│ sales to people who may not otherwise have considered buying this │
│ kind of music. │
│ │
│ . SWEET is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real │
│ world scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and │
│ venues can only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only │
│ expect MORE people to pay to see THEM. │
│ │
│ By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, │
│ many artists will find that SWEET releases IMPROVE their real world │
│ sales; especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon │
│ which SWEET operates. │
