Planetary Assault Systems (aka Luke Slater)

I love this albumn. I think it's the best thing I've picked up all
year. Crushes your Autechre. Blows Speedy J out of the water.
The new Squarepusher is good but doesn't measure up. It's all about
Luke Slater.
01. SEARCHIN'
02. THE MENACE
03. EXPLORATION OF THE RAVISH
04. THE RETURN
05. THE DREAM
06. THE BATTLE
07. SIGNAL
08. SHAKEN
09. SHAKING
Not your average intelligent music, some of this stuff could make it
to the floor. Features thickly layered repetitive ass-kickin techno
beats with slow variations in tempo and rhythym.
SEARCHIN is upbeat and pretty melodic. THE MENACE is dark heavy
kickdrums that slowly builds. EXPLORATION OF THE RAVISH is minimal
and a bit more ambient, but still in the techno vein. THE RETURN is
also an nice upbeat tune. THE DREAM is lame noodling ambient
garbage. THE BATTLE is dark heavy acid beats. THE SIGNAL could be
my favourite. It features this really cool volume modulated riff.
SHAKEN is slightly acidic and trancey. THE PARTING is the cool-down
piece better then THE DREAM, but not a feature of the albumn.
I'm not sure if you can tell how much I love this albumn by the 3
postings I've made about it. But it's mmmmm mmmmm good.
