I've collected the entire discography so far, and at the bottom of this email is a taste of the final summary of my extensive track per track review of "Actual Sounds + Voices". `I hope you enjoy it Bob and whoever else cares. If your still unsatisfied, have a taste of some of the mp3's located at http://www.brainwashed.com/mbm . Almost every track on the new album "Actual Sounds + Voices" is listed there, in a cut format (ie. the first minute or so)... `I highly suggest you listen to them. MBM have definitely "changed" since the days of "Armed Audio Warfare" and "Storm the Studio", while still maintaining there defined and pulsating edge. Clipped from Pietro's review of "Actual Sounds + Voices": --------------------------------------------------------- `If you thought "Storm the Studio" was guilty of hard-edged funky drum loops, then be prepared to indulge yourself into these pulsating rhythms, ultrasonic bass-lines, calming ambient drifts, electro-magnetic waves of sound's, and the ever soothing hypnotic lyrics of Jack Dangers manifesto. Meat Beat have propelled themselves into a sub-bass cosmic audio collage of sound and innovation. There are no restrictions on the quality of beat-oriented tracks for this album. Pulling away from the usual drum'n bass sector, Jack has re-distinguished a sound that amplifies itself into a new meaning of the word "jungle." There are several elements of jazz fused with electro-industrial rhythms that prove once again that this album is a 99% Meat Beat Production. "Actual Sounds + Voices" is the combination of "99%" melded with the fury of "Storm the Studio", and tricked out with the calming lyrics of "Satryicon" and "Subliminal Sandwich". Prepare yourself for Jack's audio-arsenal which will reach store's October 6.
