| And the Belles do things a little
different. What doesn't mean that they are some
avant garde weirdos, but even a bouncy version like
"What D'ya Need (Unsung
Heroes Mix)" is dark, and somewhat
threatening. And when you look at the guys, you
get a Marxman taste lingering somewhere, while that
wasn't meant to draw a connection musically. "What
D'ya Need (H.A.R.D. Mix)" sounds
even more threatening, without it even opting for
cinematic bang-bang-boom effects. The voice of Kruze
is distorted, what gives this a secretive appeal,
and makes the words seem protected by some guild
seal. |
| On the flip we have the previously
mentioned "Skitzophonoetic"
and again, you haven't been treated to such hard
and down right dark rap in some time. So you listen
to the words, with the constant threat of the speaker
going insane hovering over the music. And you can't
really call this braggadocios lyrics, as they are
more Bizarro than Canibus. But they come close to
that when they are portraying a troubled being.
The strings are fake on here, what then makes "Resistance
Is Futile (Krash Slaughta Mix)"
having the best beat, that fortunately is kept on
for some time after the rhyming has seized. The
words are complimenting the vibe, that is reminiscent
of all those science fiction movies, that are always
dark, always dirty and where there's always steam
and iron and a lot of cables. That's the style you
get on here, and that might be due to it being grim
up north. As far north as Scotland, cause that's
where these cats are from. And this record is swallowed
like some ancient scotch, with the same harshness
to your throat. What is a good thing in deed. |
