...according to our on 22 November 2006.

I heard a CD the other week by Izu. 'Going Salamander' blew my mind, that doesn't happen very often. This week its released for you all to drool over and its a huge recommendation from me (and the rest of us here!! Phil x). 11 tracks in total and every one a winner. Distorted clanking industrial metallic techno at its finest. Pure machine music, dark at times, melodic and quirky at others. Crunchy breaks combine with off kilter futuristic sounds to create an electroid beast of mammoth proportions. This is one of those great albums that manages to be both experimental and accessible. If your into stuff like early Art Of Noise (Beatbox), early Aphex Twin (Ventolin), Hymen Records etc then get on it. I can't tell you how good this is. On Highpoint Lowlife. Wicked.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
