Nanobot/Red Robot - Nanoscale sentry mech equipped with malevolent maelstrom function and rage interface controls.

Assigned to a remote outpost together with the following electro-biologic special operatives.

Clatterbox - the precision architect of the darkest mode. From the ancient order of elite technicians, adept at optimising ordinance for sonic insertion.

Even Steven - Number crunching sound chemist. Capable of the spontaneous fusion reaction, cerebral upload technique, capable of grafting soul to synthetics.

Signal Jammer - probe droid executing data extraction and conversion methods. Riot pacification failsafes utilise dual rotational sonic disruptors.

Goliath - High speed processor chip implanted deep within a neural net emitting powerful fluctuating output waves enveloping adversaries in a sub acoustic data snare.

Z-BOP - South West UK's outpost for genre defying electronic music. ;-)

Spesimen - Archaeology EP - 04-Sep-03 03:24 AM
Four deep and deadly minimal funk jams. Very tight production throughout. Particular favourite of mine is Egyptia with its far eastern flavour. A well rounded electro release out of Austria that fails to disappoint.

Unspecified Enemies - Multi Ordinal Tracking Unit - 30-Aug-03 06:46 AM
Multi Ordinal Tracking Unit featured on the DJ Bone compilation Subject Detroit. This track is devoted to the whole of side A and is a cutting piece of machine funk with a suitably loud pressing.

On side B the runout groove simply reads TRACK - DIAGRAMS - MICROPOLITICS which is confusing as there are five distinct tracks?

First track will go down well with any hard techno dj - a filtered 909 number which is inventive and full of energy.

Track two is a short bass, snare & kick drum skit which makes me wish I had two copies.

Same with the track three - a short minimal techno workout with some scratching over it which sounds better than my description! :)

Track four is another short 909 skit followed by track 5 a blindingly simple yet hauntingly emotive dub electro track which has some distinctly Basic Channel dub stylings, while some deft use of reverb is applied to a vocoder intoning Counterattack.

A pleasant close to a devastatingly good ep. High quality control seems to be Counterattacks hallmark. Full respect.

Counterattack - We Can Elude Control - 30-Aug-03 06:19 AM
Excellent vocoder use on this Detroit inspired techno release from the elusive Counterattack crew. They ably demonstrate they know how to run things on this accomplished debut. A worthy addition to any techno collection, find it if you can.

Clatterbox - Clatterbox - 30-Aug-03 06:03 AM
Some quirky, some downright rude the fifteen tracks and interludes crammed on this jam packed two disc set from Clatterbox make this a justifiably sought after release. With excellent production throughout that sounds as fresh as the day it was made. A definitive moment in Clears history and indeed a milestone in UK electronica. Full respect.

Counterattack - Clinamen E.P. - 29-Aug-03 08:54 PM
Very accomplished techno from the Counterattack crew who have been likened to a Welsh Underground Resistance. You can understand why being of a consistently high quality throughout the ep and ably covering many bases along the way. An essential purchase.
