I picked up The Planet Storm because it's got a cool name and the cover's all red and blobby like a big civilization-obliterating bastard volcano of swirly spitting doom. Nugumo made it and put it out on a dead limited 3" CD with help from Disco r Dance. It's quite a banging beast of hard electronica, maybe a little like Clark often does but with a slight 70s sci-fi soundtrack feel, flitting between tempos like nobody's business in its relentless quest to make you do inappropriately speedy body movements. I'm particularly liking the screeching theremin type sound that links the tunes together. It's BONKAZ. This is a pretty ace and stupidly hectic way to spend twenty minutes of your life.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

"this blistering ep, from our Japanese cousin Nagumo, is aptly named “The Planet Storm”. Bursting with enormous swathes of acidic depth, unfolding to reveal a cheeky, almost playful edge. Fierce drum patterns skit over bruising basslines… a “must have” in anyone’s eyes (ears)!!"
