Snipped from my review of _Actual Sounds + Voices_ BIAS345CD

`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.

yeah, jack actually seems to have written a "pop"py album this time
around. not that i mind after the power of SS. it does remind me a great
deal of _99%_, though - and that's my least favorite meat beat album.
example: the upcoming single, "prime audio soup", uses the same drum track
as "helter skelter". i thought it seemed much lighter and easier than SS,
therefore...
