NEW ADAADAT!!

Donna summer kicks it all off with "vibrations".
Clicking and thumping away until a space like jewel filled melody sprinkles down from above, this track has a battling feel to it. It's hard versus glitch for the world title, hard smashes in with an acidic bassline, as glitch crows hawk overhead bringing a seventies guitar solo thrashing into the party, chaos continues as the 70's melts into the 80's and tumbles along in a barrel of madness until it's track end. Craziness goodness.

"Feast of recognition" brings that 70's funk style along again, in what I would call funkattack beepmanics. Vocals burst out at you from all angles and you get sucked up in a whirlwind of pounding bassspikes, which drop beats and columns of fuzzy tunes. Jump on the spiralling electronic rocket journey to pluto on the back of a lego spaceship. Insanocrazy.

"Disco satan" drops you into the food cavity of a brazilian samba robot. Beats bounce around crashing into your legs, as the carnival feel takes over, but in an attacking electronical vibe. Arc's of plastic electric flood the dancefloor, and gargantuan drums are smashed to pieces under the musical onslaught. Speed laden pan pipes join in only to be killed by the hellmetal guitar riff, launching crates of broken time at you. Goddamn my ears are ruined.....but im still loving it.
"Chirping organ" transfixes you with rivers of cascading electro church music, as echoes ripple along the distorted soundchips which barricade the door.
Crunching drumbeats mash it all up as sesame street style tune quietly plays along. So many different styles here, now its the 1000bpm junglist onslaught playing over a burgling fruit machine who has eaten one too many, hold up, its paying out.........JUCKPOT! 700 tyles of chaos in one. Recommended.

"Moses on a raft" moses is apparently on a raft, spooky.
A chilled childlike melody joined by a cascading drumbeat and minimal samples of kids voices flood your eyes with joy. This really works, a smooth melody with bursting drum attacks, im liking this. Three robots turn up to complain about the noise, crackling zapping and reverbing all over the frickin show, come on lads take it easy. Malfunction time for you three.....click....zap.....beep.....zvzvzooooooooOOOOOOOwwwwww.
The playground theme is back again, and that beat is smacking it all upside the place. Highly recommended...suepoyb track.

Next on the stage we have....OVENAXX....

"Jinginaki punxxxx" what the hell......robotic murmurings tell you secrets until the breakcore attacko beat demolishes anything non metallic in its path. Try to see in your mind two massive droids built from neon bulbs and synthesizers wrestling on top of a black hole whilst arkanoid barrages them both with heavy water torpedoes....yeh, that's it. Excellent.

Evil echoing wily zaps, reverb around the damp abandoned hospital which you call home, welcome to "numbed a thought disorder". Cleaning droids rumble and stutter down the corridors shouting at each other in a heavy as crap acidic bassline whilst flying drum machines get caught in spiders webs and dribble diesel all over the place. Voices call out what sounds like "LANDMINE" as the unrelenting audio onslaught shows you exactly what it can do...I'd hide if I was you. Insane.
"no side discharge" slips into view lifting a oriental chilled melody from the misty riverbank, but only until the babbling maniacal stutter ghosts piss attacking beatthuds, and zap heavy firewaves all over the gaf.
Harassed asian voices are overtaken by the blue plastic helicopter, hovering high above dragging an anchor through the peaceful japanese market. The destruction creates layer upon layer of electronic destructo noise as laptop after laptop is smashed to smithereens and data rich hdd brains spill out onto the damp floor. Check it.

"Hatashiai beans-version" is the slightly strange trackname, lets see what the music's are all about.
Fax machine dreamwaves are pressed onto parchment paper which is resting on top of a phonebook. Number after number is sent empty reams of paper as the minature guitar attempts acoustic but is glitched and stammered by the 'naxx. Plonks of shattered piano keys run towards the furnace but clouds of fuzz hammer glitch keep them from hurting themselves, as a techno style tune takes over as the facismile rewinds then forwards itself over and over again.
A hip-hop cut up snes game style takes over and runs to the end, a soundtrack to the 90's. Class.

"Anarchy bomb-odori" opens, by ripping your ears off the hinges and dropping them into a petri dish and kaining them over a petri dish. Breakcore to the fifteenth level of assault style, keep the volume low if you have headphones, and want to live.
Unrelenting powerpill dropzone audio smashkill with a hectic zap melody slightly creeping through. Super fast paced batteries power a sunshine tune which emerges from within and ' video games' it to pieces, think sanrio smashball with wario throwing grenades from a self propelling metallic rocket hand. This is that.
Feckin excellent.

So good it hurts, thats how I will describe this record to people when I speak to them. Donna summer drops his cross genre patchwork mergecore style, with Ovenaxx laying down heavy slabs of drillbreakcore and dashes of deep electronic imagination to create a genius Adaadat release.

Super amazing, just killer.

Cannot recommend this enough.
