| |
| Neil Landstrumm has left his techno roots behind |
| for this rather excellent new album for Planet Mu, |
| honing his low-end dexterity for a collection of |
| far-flung dubstep/rave/hardcore variations that |
| cumulatively make for quite possibly the finest |
| release in his long and illustrious career to date. |
| "Kids Wake Up" starts the album as it means to go |
| on, a true Hardcore aesthetic informing not only |
| Landstrumm's sample selection but also his |
| masterful use of BASS, the end result being a sound |
| system destroyer of the most enjoyable kind, with |
| even a bleeping acknowledgment to KLF thrown into |
| the mix for good measure...mighty stuff. "Yorkshire |
| Steel Cybernetics" is up next and is surely some |
| kind of tribute to Coco, Steel & Lovebomb's classic |
| "Feel It" except fourty times heavier, the low-end |
| is so expertly tweaked here that i could quite |
| happily listen to that bassline on a loop for the |
| next few hours. "Reverse Rebel" once again displays |
| Landstrumm's righteous sense of history by |
| featuring the Ragga Twins on vocals, but despite |
| its best intentions it's too much rave and not |
| enough Hardcore for this listener. "Give Them Fire" |
| fares much better, a sparse introduction lays the |
| foundation for another immense bassline - with the |
| frequencies this low the track needs all the |
| structural support it can get, something that's |
| provided here with ample room to spare. It's quite |
| telling that this album has been described in most |
| quarters as dubstep - after all the scene is mostly |
| far too young to remember that Hardcore laid the |
| foundations for so much Bass culture, and the |
| Hardcore continuum you hear about so often these |
| days started with a bunch of bedroom producers |
| channelling their hard-earned into pirate radio |
| transmitters, spray paints and dodgy dubplates - |
| sound familiar? Huge props go to Landstrumm for |
| steering clear of the standard dubstep templates a |
| lesser producer might have been tempted by, |
| "Restaurant of Assassins" is a hugely enjoyable, |
| brilliantly executed tribute to days gone by, |
| delivered with all the Low-End pressure and |
| pristine flair for production that dubsteppers will |
| hopefully be in awe of. Right, I'm off to dig out |
| my LFO, Suburban Bass, Reinforced and SUAD |
| twelves... |
