Review by Alastis Jan 27, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

How is it possible to combine metal, experimental music and dub in one album ? Few bands can take so many styles, mix them and get decent results. BIG final record is exactly that - melting pot of styles, rhythms and atmospheres. "Cyclotron" starts out with extremely fast "747" and reaches its conclusion with slow and echoing "Dead Continent Dub". One comparison might be John Zorn's Naked City (and its no coincidence - since this guys were working with Zorn a lot). But whereas Naked City was about in-your-face experimentation and extremely short songs, Blind Idiot God have more song-like approach and this trio also have great musical skills, all of which are shown on "Cyclotron".
