OK before you ask we have none of the metal edition which came with a piece of boiler (no shit). They came and went super quick (in about 10 minutes in fact) as we only had a handful of 'em! But we have some of the regular edition left which has sold out at source as well now as there's only 100. He's a popular lad that Neil Campbell. Here we have 5 tracks (about 30 mins) of squelched, mulched up techno made by aliens. The stuff I've heard from this fella lately is awesome... On the surface it all seems pretty samey but listening to this one through headphones you can hear the textures and fruity loop insanity in it's full HD glory. There's loads of crazy noises all over the shop over the squelchy beats which sound like loads of crazy insects or bird noises... I feel like I'm in Madagascar! It's truly unique music which doesn't really sound like anything else and that is something that should always be applauded. Jolly good!!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
