Just some quick reviews..... Panasonic - A Lots of hype on this one from the idm kiddies. And the hype is warranted. This thing has not left my player since I got it. Think pules, noise, tones, beats and minimalism. Put it all together and you are left with a wonderful album. I do not think of pole when I hear this. It is a far cry from the basic channel/chain reaction take on techno. This is techno for clubs in the year 3000. A dark and cold album. Purchase at once unless you don't like experimental music. Pole -2 To those who couldn't see the dub influence, this is the proof. The clicks are not prominent on this. Instead you are left with a washed out techno dub hybrid. Think vaniquer or various artist if they were from Jamaica. Better than the "1" if you ask me. Witchman vs. jammin unit - inferno the linear notes say that is was inspired by deaf dub and blind by jammin unit. A few tracks seem reminiscent of that album (one in particular lifts the synth entirely). Where deaf dub and and blind was minnimal techno dub this is brooding beats with dark dub overtones. Music for a darkened room. Urbanized beats assault you while basslines surround you. Beautiful stuff. Dark dub for today. -daniel Head Monkey Mad Monkey Records
