What an awesome album ! The most refreshing album of this year ! Surely the best one I've heard out of not so many this year, so I can't be all objective.
It is very psychedelic, with crunchy and funky passages, perfect mastering and awesome production, as always with Eat Static. After previous couple of albums experimenting they went back to their old, alienish style, with lots of twirls, mind breaks, hillarious samples... I won't get into deeper review coz we have masters of indepth reviews around, I have only posted this small review cause I've seen no one else put it. There was Eat Static topic in anouncement section but no real review... Eat Static prove again that they are the most serious 'unserious' musicians, making very nice retro psychedelic album, like in good ol' times. Fun is the key point of their albums and general concept. Here they made another little experiment, combining psy, breakbeat and ambient atmospheres. There is also fair amount of twistedness and bouncy edits. The track that most stand out for me is VISITORS. OMG, what a psyberdelic perfection ! Awesome !!! So psychedelic and funky. DEADLY AMPHIBIAN is also pretty stunning, twisted and psychedelic, at some stages even mean, with perfect energetic structure... BRASSNECK is also nothing short of perfect, and INVASION is good introduction to a very varied album. It is definitely the most interesting release this year. 8/10
