Review:

 

Hmm... The Logic Bomb TIP 12" "The Pawn" got very good reviews here on

this site but is this release from Spiral Trax just as good as that one?

I haven´t heard the TIP-release because it sold out before I had the

opportunity to buy a copy so I can only guess. I might stick my neck out

now but I must say I´m a little disappointed. The album "Headware" is

really good with several killertrax but this 12" must be some leftovers

from the album, atleast "Innocent Until Caught", or maybe it´s some new

direction of the bands music style? "Innocent Until Caught" (5/10) are

much more repetive than I expected and that lovely level of insanity

just isn´t there anymore. Don´t get me wrong now! It isn´t minimal and

some people may not understand what I´m talking about. Most Logic Bomb

fans will enjoy "Innocent Until Caught" and wouldn´t think twise to chop

my head for criticizing this track, but I´m still not too impressed.

"Always Choose Retry" (7/10) is a much better track, more full-on and

loaded with cluttering percussions. I think it´s energetic and more in

the line of what I expected from Logic Bomb, in fact... it´s getting

better every time I listen to it! I like the little melody in the second

half of the track and the fact that it gets more energetic and builds in

intensity towards the end. If they had skipped the first 3-4 minutes I

would have given this track a 8/10. I think this release is similar to

the "Lex Rex Perplex" EP by Hux Flux so if you like that one you should

have a go at this one. But if you trust me you should buy the album

"Headware" instead. Tracks like: Extension, Hydrofon, Kilobytebandit,

Sub Atomic, Shadow Of The Beast and Halojaner from "Headware" are better

in my opinion. The other tracks from "Headware" are great too.

I completely agree with Stormbringer above. I was expecting another monster

from Logic Bomb, but the A side left me feeling a little flat. The B side is

much better, more complex but its still nothing compared to the pawn remix and

time traveling e.t.'s.
