Various - Evidence - 09-Jun-03 11:09 PM
Evidence features 17 tracks spanning a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the trance, house and techno of Now:Zero, Evolver (now 8E38) and SonnenSystem, through the synthpop and english electronic sound of House Guests and Sphere, the electro/grebo of The UN, the darkwave of The Isle and Blood Party, to true experimentation by Ghee (Morgan Geist - providing an early cameo appearance from the USA) and Daniel Hack. The CD contains exclusive (often debut) tracks from these bands, and is an important snapshot of the early development of the Brisbane and Australian electronic scene.
Blood Party - Rock n Roll Psychology - 09-Jun-03 11:08 PM
" "Tiny White Heart All Dead" sounds as if a 60s Big Pop Song has been hijacked by a German industrial band with a fixation for hitting metal things, and the result is possibly the first industrial electronic grunge pop song in history. "Testimonial", meanwhile - another stand-out track - returns to a drum-loop groove, this time using organic instrument sounds as the icing while still maintaining a sense of drama and dark atmosphere." Anthony Horan: Beat Magazine
Pure Bunk - Man-Dog Bites - 09-Jun-03 11:07 PM
Man-Dog Bites has inherited the best genes of its vintage electronic music predecessors. Its half an hour of analogue-soaked pleasure, from the space opera Eugene vs Influenzor through a genetic re-jigging of Stevie Wonder's Superstition to the monstrous Insanadu. There's the baccanalian celebration of Cellulicious and the stomping funk of Standards, a hare-brained plan for a brighter future. It closes with a bionic upgrade of General Dynamics Stole My Body, originally from Pure Bunk's 1991 cassette.
Various - Abstraction - 07-May-03 11:54 PM
This CD illustrates the wide spectrum that is electronic music, from the techno/dance wizardry of Inertia and Jandy Rainbow, through the dub electronica of Dharma Buffer, the darker industry of VISI, Glitch, Dogmachine and the All-Electric Kitchen, the pop aesthetics of Tycho Brahe, Ostia and First World, and the leftfield noise experimentation of Velleity. This is a brilliant electronic compilation, and a fine introduction to the Northern Australian electronic scene.

"Very impressive with immediately addictive tracks that cross the board - from the minimal and string laden depth of Stormboy's Robotika, to the tribal aura of 8E38's Africana which counters with fast pulsating beats - which fall in the first section of the CD labelled 'Intelligence'. Backing up that section is the old school breaks of SonnenSystem's epic Hardcore Buddhist and the harder trance of 8E38's Helios. The second section is 'Precision', which includes the hard breakbeats of Low Key Operations' Subsonic Nightmare, a dark and moody affair which continues on in their In Sync V which overlays some strong soaring synths (if on 12" single, this would see some strong play)." Lampwick: 3D-World Mag
