Reviews & Discussion

Review by squiggy Oct 23, 2007
I became intimately familiar with this label without ever buying anything, seeing as how their records remained on the record store shelf week after week. This Bedrock offshoot aimed to deliver a super-polished mix of tribal grooves, prog-house tempos and lots of wooshing and swooshing, and came up with a handful of singularly drab and uninspiring tunes. Dark drums were "in" for a while, but it seems this label was too late on the scene, as it folded up almost instantly. As an added bonus, the bizarre grey-on-black design of these records meant that if you dared to buy one of them, you'd be holding it up to your nose and squinting really hard that night up in the DJ booth.

In my humble opinion, a case of style over substance, a handful of clunkers now gathering dust.
