New
on SKAM by them amiga crunching, machine bending, parallax
scrolling duo. we all know and love as Team Doyobi.
"A-mode
<wizards are in the cave mix>" plods up the wall
leaving a bassy acid vibe in its wake, and progressing on
its mission dribbling from its slot like mouth a constant
stream of jackbeats, which build up around the wall like
a minature forcefield. Manmade voices syphoned through gold
and silver filters are pressed into tiny pixelated boxes
and strapped onto the back of 8bit creatures who dissapear
in a cloud of corrupted code, causing a ripple like crunch
to pulse through the land. The beats are fired from far
far away, by rogue caterpillars who have legs made of eject
buttons, and hard exoskeletons formed from broken liquid
crystal displays, they really do love them there beats,
and take it in turns to slot them into place. The Doyobi
then turn up, in a jacked CD32 and proceed to hoover all
this weirdness into a small capsule which is the size of
a dib-dab, and then throw it into a luminous red ball never
to escape, fire up the console and nuke off into the distance
with a manic laugh. I just saw that ball smile at me, Im
outta here. Quality TD advenuretimerememberancehack. Hearts
all around. (Power Up)
"The
muller fokker effect" pushes a minature clock with
3 hands into your cheek, stands back and shatters into a
million pieces, like a xylophone full of C4. Imagine hundreds
of wafer thin slices of vocal, scattered into the air then
sucked back to the ground and processed through a scanner
by a half asleep stick of memory, this is exactly what you
get in this track. Add small remnants of acid disco pokes
and cheatcodes, and you have the perfect recipe. Seconds
please. "The east coast" rounds off this release.
Different in style, this is a slow brooding message to all
those bell headed robots out there, laced with heavy earthquake
melody rumbles and staticy messages, that attempt to communicate
with your primitive mind.
Team Doyobi can do know wrong in my head. The knowledge
which seems to be honed through years and years of game
and audio messing around is clear to hear, and its all tiedtogether
in a package that is TD through and through, but always
manages to crank that chipset to the next level. Sweet as.
