Amen Andrews vs. Spac Hand Luke - Amen Andrews vs. Spac Hand Luke - 02-Oct-06 02:49 AM
"Cutting edge", "ground breaking" and "boundary pushing" arent 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, theres 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 its rather nice. "Like A Machine" is an minimal, bleepy, disjointed growly thing. "Play" is choppy, sample-stuffed, rave-spattered breaky number. Its all a bit familiar, but all so very enjoyable. I am slightly disappointed that the junglistic tracks dont really get as brutal as youd expect, except on "Multiple Stab Wounds". However, that track really is a killer. Its one of those unstoppable beasts that I would compare with the likes of Soundmurderers "Badman", Capones "Massive" or the infamous Ambush 10 in terms of sheer relentless amen butchery. Spactastic.

"Rocket Launcher" is pure funk at 500mph. Strangely enough it contains some 4/4 sections which do at first seem like a bad idea, but they work. Very fast tempo, but still very funky.

"Funkstation" does seem a bit too fast at its original speed. Maybe thats just me. However, at 33 it is a fantastic funky breaks track. You cant just play any drum n bass track at the wrong speed and expect it to sound good, but this one really works - I recommend that you try it.

A year and a half later I come back to listen again to some of his works. Clearly a lot has happened in that time, as I am now frankly embarrased by the previous comment. Technically proficient and jolly enough melodies, but ultimately I find it hard not to skip through the tracks as quickly as possible to reach the end. Mostly just like all your average "trance" - same blueprint, different melody. Just isnt enough to sustain my interest these days.

Soul Of Man / Phantom Beats - 21st Century Breaks - 10-Sep-03 01:58 PM
What a throroughly bloody unbelievably brilliant compilation. Damn this is good. Soul Of Man do their funky thing on the first CD, with all manner of top stuff such as Terminalheads remix of "King Of The Land", some Aquaksky vs Master Blaster, a few of their own marvelous offerings, and ends off in fine style with Bushwacka!s (is that exclamation mark really necessary?) "Feel It".

CD 2 is a bit more laid back, as the title (Phantom Beats Laid Back Mix) would suggest. C83s "Back In The Day" has to be heard, bloody lush it is. And theres other lovely things by Spoon Wizard and Phantom Beats themselves. Just lovely.

CD 3, also mixed by Phantom Beats, notches it up a bit. Techy breaks, all slammers. Especially "U Will Be Under", "Beats, Rhymes, Flavour", "Reformatted" and "All The Freaks". Damn this is good. Really. And it was only a tenner. This really is good... I might have mentioned that before. Yeah, I think I did. But really, its good.

As far as I can tell, the "SE" mix is exactly the same track that appears on The Critical Path album. Also, I think this 10" was only released as a promo, although I cant be sure. Rather nasty, glitchy breaks business going on in the SE mix, you know you love it. However, the Laudanum Vapour Gardens Mix is just lovely, real nice and relaxing, still a bit weird though (a good thing). Damn shame ive never come across anything else by that artist.
