The ever reliable Neil Campbell returns with yet another release, this time for Dekorder records. This is Campbell's second LP for the label following his collaboration with High Wolf under the guise of Iibiis Rooge. 'Generator Breaker' continues Campbell's evolution into the blissful arena of astral techno that has characterised recent releases. It would seem that Neil is now totally at one with the small arsenal of effects units, Kaoss pads and guitars that go into refining his creations and overall approach to making music in 2011. There are mad chipmunk squeaks, flurries of distant string orchestration, cosmic firework displays and mega layers of astral synthetics all playing their part in this twisted, noise enriched vision of modern avant-dance music. I just said avant-dance. That's right.
A new Astral Social Club album is always a highlight of the year and "Generator Breaker" is no exception. Neil Campbell is one of the veterans of the British DIY/Drone/Noise scene and with ASC he has slowly formulated his very own and unique musical universe, akin to the psychedelic visions of his contemporaries and sometimes collaborators Sunroof! and Vibracathedral Orchestra but with a more electronic, less rock-influenced approach, instead aiming towards a heavily layered techno-infused space drone whirl. "Generator Breaker" is Campbell's 2nd album for Dekorder after last year's highly acclaimed Iibiis Rooge collaboration with High Wolf and it's certainly one of his most magic and refined releases, combing through tremolo heaven, cat purr/classical music cut-ups, shuffle techno battling against high-pitched tones, harmonic kraut-infused electronica, distorted in-the-red hymnic quasi-techno anthems, twisted rhythmic noises that wouldn't sound out of place on a Black Dice record and heavenly music of the spheres
