Amen Andrews vs. Spac Hand Luke - Amen Andrews vs. Spac Hand Luke

"Cutting edge", "ground breaking" and "boundary pushing" aren't words you can really use to describe this album, however "varied", "well crafted" and "fun" certainly are. If you like big grimey bass and beats, there's plenty for you here, along with some choice ragga vocals snippets, old rave hoovers, sirens, Steven Seagal movie samples and of course succulent amens. "Barrave" is basically a remix of "Spice" by Eon, but it's rather nice. "Like A Machine" is an minimal, bleepy, disjointed growly thing. "Play" is choppy, sample-stuffed, rave-spattered breaky number. It's all a bit familiar, but all so very enjoyable. I am slightly disappointed that the junglistic tracks don't really get as brutal as you'd expect, except on "Multiple Stab Wounds". However, that track really is a killer. It's one of those unstoppable beasts that I would compare with the likes of Soundmurderer's "Badman", Capone's "Massive" or the infamous Ambush 10 in terms of sheer relentless amen butchery. Spactastic.
