Grand opening, grand closing.

 

Man that was a short ride wasn't it fellas? I'm guessing this label is no longer of this Earth based on the choice of web domains I was offered when I went to their site. Ah, such is life. Before the fine souls at Apocalypse left us they, well...they left us only two releases. I don't know about the first, but this sophomore (and unfortunately final) effort is a mix between darkpsy and twilight. It's on the darker side of things naturally with hammering bass lines and squelchy, acidic sounds.

The first two tracks were appetizers that really didn't offer much in the way of depth. At this point I was almost ready fire up eBay and get into list mode. But before I could put my crash helmet away on things got a little dangerous. Burn is a groovy acidic shower of a track with some Saw samples. Stupid Play shined a light on the poppy direction towards which Sammy would unfortunately turn, but it's still danceable. One could argue that nobody has done more with just a bass line than the Digital Talk guys so I'll be that one. This track is fil...wait for it...errrrrr.

 

The Seroxat and Combat (Seroxat + Winter Demon) tracks fall into that not bad, but not great purgatory of twilight commercialism. Seems like neither projects have made any tunes in a while so I'm guessing they went into military service. They have that over in Israel I hear. Regev follows suit with an uninspiring homage to a foul mouthed doll and then Para Halu does whatever the hell he does.

 

When I got this years ago I loved it. Unfortunately it doesn't really hold up very well. Aside from the 2nd track I could take this comp or leave it. And based on the longevity of the label..other people felt the same way.
