i'd venture to say a big testament to how great his set went over with the crowd

amen brother?
i'm not afraid to dance/convulse when people play
(ESPECIALLY with a crowd of that size/enthusiasm)
but i tend to be reserved with the applause
& am definitely not a shouter/yeller...
...after my 8th "FUUUUUUCK YEEEAAAAH!!!"
i was starting to wonder if i was becoming THAT guy...
within 10-15 mins of the abelcain set,
my glasses were thrown to the floor thanks to spastic "no-no" head shaking tactics,
if that gives any idea to the hype going on...

i'll also mention the beginning of the baseck vs dynasty set;
4 turntable hip hop battle type tactics
but with a palette of noise & hard beats
vs
"usual" sounds you'd hear of the turntablism variety.
--> I also got turned

i picked up 5 releases from NRFT a week before schizophrenia;
the Forbidden Society release on the NRFT sublabel abusive consequences
is getting the most replays from me... especial the "dust" track.
i was surprised to find out Forbidden Society was none other than Noize Punishment.
repetitive & BANGING...
--> and got the first release on Detroit's Void Tactical Media, which I

--> breakcore/techno shiznit.
i'll 2nd the recommendation:
split horizon is over-driven gear-powered broken-beat bidness,
if you're thinking hard Somatic Responses, you'll be in the ballpark...
J-Stat's is similar in nature
but there's a little more play/intricacy in the rhythm patterns.
the silk-screened cover is tits too.

thanks to Fishead,
i haven't been able to get Ratt's "Round & Round" out of my head for some time now...

these statements still really don't paint a proper picture;
it was a fucking sweat lodge in there
serious perception impairments without (over)inebriation influences...

not only is it red,
but with it being translucent, if you hold it up to the light,
it has a marbling quality to it ---> pretty cool.
even though i have plenty of early bloody fist 12",
i don't think i've heard a n 8-bit release sound this DIRTY...
raw raw raw.
the phone call @ the beginning of the unibomber side is amusing

i don't think you're going to get any love on this list w/ talk like that...
BUT, schizophrenia 3 was THE shite
...i'll try my damndest to be there if a pt 4 is on the horizon.

definitely, eh?
i'm there.
