Review: As always with Neil Landstrumm, we are about to take a dive into the widened realms of electronic creativity, with this new LP giving us 10 unique adventures to dive head first into. From the super moogy synth work of the introductory 'The 93 Wanabe' to the super abstract pad and percussive combos of 'DROOP' and mind-melting sub squeals of 'POPCORN', it's safe to say there wouldn't be a box big enough anywhere to confine this project into. Our standouts across the full ten tracks include both the shuffling, garage-like drum arrangements and somewhat-spicy vocal samples of 'BRIAN HARV 140' and of course the hypnotic melodies and warping bass sweeps of 'After XL'. Top work once again from a true electronic music legend.
Review: It's been a short while since we last saw Neil Landstrumm unleash a new collection of heaters, but this new box of fun has been well worth the wait as the Scandinavia Works crew dole out the goods. First up, 'After XL' arrives to unleash a twisted combination of sub-rattling synth lines and vibrant vocal chops, with 'Hurt' then following a similar pattern, again utilising quirky lead vocals for a truly unique soundscape. Next up, the square waves run riot on 'Threads', a post-garage trip through unique sound design and lively rhythms, with the rave-like leads of 'Vague' then closing a bubbly selection out in style.
Review: As a legend of sonic exploration and sound design, we simply couldn't wait to dive into this latest collection from Neil Landstrumm, who arrives on Scandinavia Works for his brand new 'Pink Wafer' EP project. We begin with 'Dad's A Dick', a squelchy slide through warbling synthetic twitches and glitchy crunches, sitting on the very edge of an eskimo-sounding arrangement. Next, a more dubstep-sentric situation as 'Soul Glow' delivers a warbling combination of LFO flavours, with 'Good Enough For You' following a similar theme except being filled with an additional box of unpredictable drum punches and goofy chimes. We then get into something a little different as the old school breaks samples and patois vocal chops of 'Rub_N_Tug' gives us a look into old school rave culture, followed by the more modernised moogy bass bumps and shuffling percussive pulses of 'No Strings'. Finally, this forward-thinking showcase is rounded off by perhaps the weirdest kink in the kettle as 'Somethin' Else' deploys a combination of high pitched synthesiser whirls and tappy hi-hat goodness, giving us a very tasty finale indeed.
