"The eleven tracks on this fifty minute CD leaves the listener paralyzed in his chair - or down on the dancefloor. Breakbeats form the major part of this CD, with weird sounds flying in and out of the mix. This is heavy duty music." - Vital Weekly review

"djMethodikal's new release is so innovative and non-stop awesome, my car wouldn't let me stop playing it!" - defragmentation, invisible records

"about as listenable as your uncle herman's morning ass-spackle, and about as talented as that guy from jag panzer. the only thing this work has going for it is interesting album art, and a tongue-in-cheek sticker campaign. this music is beneath me, my mom, and yes, even YOU, jodie foster. turn it up, fuckpaste." - seismologist, NJ homewrecker


Aggressive and spastic - crunchy beats and funked out rhythms. Reminds me a little of Kid 606, without the massive attitude, due to the street attitude and slightly hip-hop feel. This isn't a rap album, though, it falls squarely in the electronic/techo realm. Maybe throw in a touch of the Digital Hardcore sound, what with all the distortion here, but way more complicated and full than those guys from Germany can do, and with far more swing. Definitely fun and good for a friday night blow-out. A touch of other instruments other than just computers sneak through here and there - John Zorn style sax appears subtly on a couple of tracks(how does zorn and subtle fit together, I dunno...) I really like the beats here - quirky as all get out and super motivating, distorted and tweaked till the cows came home. And, when you read the credits, you see the lucky bastard even has someone helping with catering, and, well, there are photos of someone eating donuts next to the credits, so I guess someone had to go to Dunkin' Donuts....(Don Poe)
