Review:

 

Those of you who have read my review of the Walhalla ep "Triplicate /

Formantic Headache" (Moon Spirits) know that I really liked that one and

that I was very positive about the future of Walhhallas music. Now I´m

not that certain anymore. "Stuntrunner" (5/10) sounds like a very

average track to me. There´s no energy and nothing else either that I

like with this track. It´s just a grinding beat with no action. I think

of the label Medium when I hear this. Don´t get me wrong! Some Medium

tracks are cool but that´s NOT why I usually buy. This is almost

minimal! The word "boring" could be used to describe this track if I had

to be brief in my description of it and I can´t find any reason to go

any further in this review about that track so let´s use "boring". "Foam

Plastic" (4/10) is rather minimal too but it got a very tribal feel to

it which makes it a little different. Tribal drumming might be groovy

sometimes but this is rather uninteresting too. I´m very disapointed and

now I don´t know how to do when the next Walhalla ep is released. I

probably NOT end up buying it without listening to it first. This is the

third release from SUB MACHINE RECORDS and I´m very confused how the

music from that label will sound in the future. This ep feels as

interesting as taking a nap in a library but SUB 004 by Tetraktys is

more like being a lifeguard at "Acid Beach", corrosive as hell! I really

hope that the sound of Tetraktys is what to expect from SUB MACHINE

RECORDS in the future!

I disagree with the above, the track Foam Plastic is sub par. It has a strong

beat with some promising sounds but it goes nowhere. The track sounds

underdeveloped 5/10. Where I disagree is Stunrunner, this is awesome and

powerfull. The sounds progress and there is a jumping beat that really gets

me moving. It closes hard and strong as well. 8.5/10. Maybe a 9.

Hey!!!

Stunrunner is a real masterpiece. If you don´t like it, leave it... I´m gonna

keep this with me forever. 9/10

Foam Plastic is not so good like Stunrunner. 7/10

But anyway... I like so much Walhalla.

 

;)
