"Akin to stumbling across a juiced up pirate radio station
somewhere on the lower-end of the dial, 'Grim FM' goes on to
deliver just shy of an hour of breathless aural goodness that
blends the fizzing embers of grime, caliginous aromas of
dubstep and an oily sense of fun into a sonic battering-ram
that represents an aural Sudafed for the senses. Featuring a
host of Grim Dub regulars (ATKI2, Starkey, Monkey Steak et
al), many of the cuts included have never been heard before
and the others are available for the first time on CD,
thereby giving the vinylphobic a distillation of a cheekily
vibrant scene, whilst the rest of us can bolster the 12"s
with some crystalline stereo action. Very much adhering to
the Werk ethos (i.e., if it's worth doing it's worth doing
with a smile on your face), 'Grim FM' doesn't at any point
get mired in an overarching sense of Wacaday fun - preferring
instead to instill a buoyancy to proceedings that doesn't
rely on humorless 'bong' skits. With obvious highlights
coming in the form of ATKI2's seething 'Duty Paid', Starkey's
piano-flecked electronic pinpricks ('Run The Bonus Features')
and Basss Clefff's cavernous take on drafty-dub ('Welcome To
Echo Chamber'), 'Grim FM' will knee you in the nuts then kiss
you on the forehead. Grim meaning great..." -boomkat.com
