Inertia's 12-track compilation album showcases the label so far and
delivers a taste of what's to come from Inertia. First up is the
latest offering from HEFNER our in-house beat scientist. FIENDISH
is the sublime result of his latest sonic research - an
intoxicating potion of sweet harmonies and shuffling beats made to
Hefner's secret formula. Also included here is the glorious digital
breakbeat mayhem of CAR CHASE (scene II) originally the b-side of
Hefner's first single for Inertia. The album also showcases two new
tunes from the THE MIGHTY STRINTH. WAIT is slickly programmed,
gently rolling drum'n'bass combined with live drums, electric bass,
guitar, keyboards and an angelic voice interwoven with subtle tenor
saxophone lines. This contrasts sharply with MONKHAM HALL, an
experience in live jazz-jungle-fusion from beyond the land of the
living. Also included is last year's ambient epic WHAT IS IT? - the
ultimate chill. GRAND NIP (aka Yod & Surgical plus guests),
suppliers of Inertia's first 12" release last year, make a
contribution to the album with a remix of I GO SOLO the debut
single by Swedish art-thrash-rockers PSYCORE. Also to be heard are
three imaginary film-noir cut-n-paste theme tunes from inside the
mind of BASILDON BOND, our newly fostered beat-baby. His own theme
tune BASILDON BOND is dedicated to Russ Abbott (!), PALMER is his
sinister tribute to Harry, who else? and UNDERTOE is like Roger
Moore, as The Saint, touching base with The French Connection In a
cocktail bar sometime in the next millenium. WEBS OF RESISTANCE, a
mesmerising and ominous soundscape of swirling rhythm and ambience
from digi-tech-dubsmith SPINFORM, DOUBLE ZERO a large slab of
mutating techno-step-beat the flipside of the GREENBACK single, and
an infectious dose of mellow, string-laden hip-hop-soul-jazz from
Swiss producers I'CARE featuring saxophonist Ernie Odoom and Mike
Robert on double bass, make up the rest of the collection. the
first movement in the Inertia symphony......
