Upon closer inspection....
Maximum Priest EP
1) Song: Underwater Torch - Much like the last album and EP, live...
with heavy emphasis on a old organ... played by a maximum priest? Sounds
a bit gothic... qite pretty. Typical heavily reverbed and echoed drums...
2) Decathlon Oxide - Hardened breakbeat track with loads of weird analog
squiggles, 303 (?) and abrasive crackles... nice to see he hasn't
forgotten how to program.
3) You're Going Down - Gah! Squarepusher gone muziq, I mean muzak. (That
wasn't intentional, was it?) Loads of cool slap bass in the middle
though... works itself into a nice jam session, but the early cheesy
melodies in the beginning and end are a bit intimidating.
4) Cranium Oxide - 29 second track... just some feedback and a sample of
someone being tortured.... no wonder he was signed to Nothing.... (so
who else here has seen the uncut nin Broken video???)
5) Two Bass Hit (ae mix) - Cool as shit.
6) Circular Flexing (Yee-King mix) - Shifts between live drumming and
heavily tweaked 303 squiggles... loads of feedback and reverb.... then a
piano comes in at the end over everything... quite nice.
7) Shin Triad (Wagonchrist mix) - Sounds like something Mike Paradinas
would do.... not our friend Luke. What happened? This is pretty lame....
