>Missing in action for some time, the excellent Vendor Refil return with a
>crushing 12" on this promising new label. Last seen on Italy's mighty
>Nature imprint, the Vendors have evidently refined their work and have
>assembled their finest offering to date. Kicking off with 'Linefinder'
>we're in vintage Funkstorung territory, reminiscent of their ace
>Sondernieste 12" for compost. A special blend of slow hip hop beats and
>industrial clanks, all underpinned by a sumptuous slinky synthbass line.
>Deep and twisted. 'Allotter' is another winner, mutilated synthlines and
>vocal shards, a slight 80's vibe permeates proceedings, echoes of
>'Beatbox' era Art Of Noise infiltrating the beats, the digital pedigree
>given away with some ace audio enhancements and effects. This is IDM of
>the highest quality, 5 tracks of involving and considered electronica
>that's a head above the wannabe's. Essential.

>[Coredump] Only the second release for Utah-based Coredump, but not a bad
>way to do it - a solid five-track EP by
>Tom Betts, a contributor to the legendary MASK series, and also a member
>of the band Weevil. Sysreq's quite surface is its strongest asset, where
>the lined loping echoed tones in "Linefinder" develop into a subtle
>complexity; likewise "Armature" plods slowly from a rudimentary downtempo
>glitch perspective into a contemplate bass-centric track with steady
>progression. For fans of Isophlux and Pitchcadet releases, not to mention
>lyunx Productions and early Funkstrong.

>Vendor Refill seems to take long breaks between records but when he does
>put something out it's always worth the wait.
>Sysreq finds the perfect balance between melody and glitch and manages to
>keep the floor moving as well. The 5 tracks are harsh and powerful in the
>way Speedy J tracks are, they just rip into you for while and then settle
>for a second before going off again. When I buy IDM records I'm always
>hoping to put the needle on it and get blown away by a burst of energy,
>that happens with Sysreq. Vendor Refill's strength is in his ability to
>get noisy and chaotic with out losing his rhythm and his audience. Each
>track experiments with going off on extreme tangents that bury the song's
>structure just long enough for you to appreciate the contrast of his
>abstract melodies and gritty dancefloor beats. Very much like his "Stable"
>release on Nature, there are many twists and turns within each song as
>well as the EP as a whole, making for a very interesting journey. The one
>thing missing from Sysreq is a "Play it Loud" sticker because that's
>really what it's meant for.
