Musical influences are all over the place with with this release and yet in some strange way Binärpilot manages to give the tracks a feeling of togetherness. His arrangements are as usual a bit on the wild side, and this release features heavy use of vocals, both natural sounding and vocoded. Lyrically wise tracks like "Destroy The Popollution" gives an evil eye towards the mass production of music in the popular culture, while Bend gives you the recipe on how to keep you music underground. He still keeps a retro gameish feel to his music mixed with a side dish of more commercial dance music. All in all a release ment to get you in a good mood and get jiggy with it while at the same time keeping a rather dark vibe. So give it a try. You might like it, or you might not, but at least you'd get to listen to something fresh that hopefully gives you some new musical input.
I have been listening to Binärpilot's music for quite some time and this EP seems to capture the peak of an era in his musical life. Though being referred to as "the Mad Max of beats" by some Binärpilot first and foremost deliver some sweet melodies with this release. He states his position as a skilled tracker giving homage to the demo scene while at the same time bringing the sound slightly more up to date. Doubtless he's a fan of artists such as Daft Punk, Aphex Twin and Squarepusher as he mixes the references made to these with ones made to the scene. In my opinion it's "Goof" and "Widibf" that's really making this release shine; so much so that i feel the need to say it's to bad it's no more then four tracks long. Well worth a listen and more then a few spins in iTunes.
