--------------------------------- Release Notes:
The result of further laboratory experimentation, 'Acceptable side effects' is
Urban Tribe's second instalment of abstract Detroit booty for Rephlex. Reputedly
the first Detroit DJ to play electro trax on 45 instead of 33 to club crowds,
his skills as DJ Stingray are held in high regard within the 313 district and
beyond for creating a unique hyperactive funk which forces the listener/dancer
to move at half-speed, much like today's current dubstep styles, only with a
helluva lot more funk. He has brought this style into his own productions, with
the intense acid jit of '110101', or the stunning album closer 'tangent', in
both cases working his hardware only setup into unbelievably tight and complex
patterns which could only have emerged from this man. What separates this album
from the freaked electro darkness of 'authorized clinical trials' is the the use
of signature dystopian Drexciyan melodies and more variation in tempos,
perfectly displayed on the slow grind of 'freq scan' or 'hostile takeover'. In
fact I'd go as far as saying this is an altogether more engaging album than
'...clinical trials' due to these factors. The feeling of older Urban Tribe
classics such as his split with The Other People Place or the legendary 'covert
action' are much more present and correct. I can see this becoming an end of
year favourite already.
Enjoy!
