CD



This is kind of a preview of the hopefully soon to find a distributor, and then released, first outing for Kraked and Associated Industries.

Kiki/ill takes the first three tracks.

"Berzerkey (with Berzerker" opens with industrial reclamation volume pouring heavily from above onto your perfectly clean lamborghini, but its not gonna be pristine for much longer as the rough voice yells out "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK" and the battle is on.
The wave of fuzzy breakcore subsidance begins to pound its message out to the world, as you are sucked in through the open mouth valve of a pc engine, now you run through pixelated warped worlds that are gradually becoming enslaved by the manic beatlooping monster that has you in its sights. There is no restbite, as you leap from floating platform to insanely colored mushroom and the chaser lets out spiralling fuck rockets that skim past you like dive bombing seagulls after that last piece of bread by the kerb. You pounce into the oncoming path of a huge pink cat that shields you from the murmuring evil gaze of the attacker, and then kicks you into the middle of next week, and relative safety. Good shit.

"Kit sottace (nottkea rotta rmx)" welcomes you with its massive distorted lcd panel and from what it sounds like drunken polish vocals. Mike kraked told me that this track was ' twatcore ', if so twatcore is excellent. Insane screamings busting out over a pounding electro beat, which reverb splutter and semi explode themselves all over the frickin place just as a massive tremendous pulse bass takes control.
Such a good track, one you need to hear.
"Naked Meats" slowly invades your secret island, and lets robotic minions off the leash that run on a ragga style power cells which unwittingly give off a gillion miles per hour breakpounding rhythm which gives the game away. A slight 80s style them brings itself to the boil in the second half of the track and creates storylines involving, chinooks, corrupt courtesy droids and barrels of cut ragga dancehall vocals which sole intention is to cut the atmosphere with a massive blood stained knife. A killer onslaught that does not let off, pow pow pow, bang, its all good.

Give me more kiki/ill


The other side of the split goes to ' ConBrio '

"2 secs" chills it down a tad, with sky floating leaves that sparkle in the midday sunlight like shards of synthetic wind seed, that have accidentally fallen down from the puffy white formations above. The chorus of ambient shrills minature clicks and obvious pops build up, to welcome a steptripping beat that perfectly slots into place alongside the development so far, and drags the posse along with it. The whirling beat takes the lead towards the end of the track, and splatters everyone with ripe slices of spiral patterned programming that is a joy to listen to. Quality track.

"Stuff" is the hidden soundtrack to a floating forest that only appears three times every three million years just off the shores of Kraked Island. Slow plodding rich water drops spread themselves wide and dissapear into the carpet like vacuum that is the perspex sea below, whilst the wooden click beat picks itself to bits and reforms in the guise of a massive robotic monster.
The mesh of audio, sings through the floating landscape like a friendly ghost intent on making you laugh, but be ready to jump off the isle as its time is nearly up, only another three million years to wait until the next time. Atmospheric characters which ooze quality, fine track.

"Laneasra seot" is Conbrio's final track. Bouncing lazer beats, hit hovering bin lids and activate the slow brooding vocals which slowly gives off its message, whilst a speedy layer of beats runs in from the blind spot and begins shouting its business to all passers by. A calm melody gradually builds in volume and joins in with the beat attack, as more sinister slowed vocals talk from way up high, leaving a thin layer of intrigue over everything in sight.
The perfect ending to this cd.

High quality stuff from the Kraked Camp. Creating interest from the very beginning with Kiki/ill's programmed creative and attacking work, through to Conbrios direct to the brain quality melodies laced with clever beats.

One to definetly look out for when it is hopefully released for you all to hear.
