| Review: |
| |
| With the release of "Tactics for Evolution" is appears that |
| Test Dept. have gone permanently electronic. The success of |
| their North American tour in 1997 and the constant influence of |
| the electronic medium finally forced Test Dept. to give up |
| their bagpipes and classical orchestration for the sampler and |
| keyboard. If any other project released this album, it would |
| immediately be labeled a sell-out record, but Test Dept. |
| victoriously to avoid such issues because they continue to be |
| groundbreaking despite their change of musical medium. Much of |
| this is due to their age old axiom of embracing change and |
| pushing the boundaries of music regardless of where that might |
| take the band. While many tracks on the "Tactics of Evolution" |
| utilize elements of Drum'n'Bass, Ambient Dub and Electro, you |
| cannot simply pigeonhole this band into a genre. The only |
| constant that Test Dept. thrives upon in the use of unique |
| percussion which puts most Drum'n'Bass and Dub artists to |
| shame. It is this sole element that kept Test Dept. alive for |
| two decades and will carry them successfully into the next |
| millennium with the release of this album. |

| We have seen what the old system can do. Now we have to think |
| up and put into action new ways of being, take what worked from |
| the old reassemble it for the modern age. In our attempts to do |
| this we will be confronted with loss, excitement and |
| fascination, so stay in tune with the moment but also keep a |
| sense of direction. Remember that it is possible to see the |
| ancient in the present and Vice-versa. |
| Technology is the material realisation of ancient thought. |
| Beware that somethings are not way they seem. We are all the |
| stuff of stars and in each of us lies both the future and the |
| past of the whole universe. Take it easy. And stay in tune. |
