Slepcy, "And Again"

This was an album whose press release suckered me into purchasing itand later made me want to kill whoever wrote it. "Distorted breakbeatslaid upon orchestral passages," they say. Yeah. Yeah, right. Let's getthis straight - if you're hoping for something likeTchaikovsky-breakcore (hey, it might be blasphemy, but it might begood, too), look elsewhere.There's nothing to do with this album - orwith any of Slepcy's work - that's "orchestral." Instead, 'And Again'wastes 35 minutes of your time with meager gabber beats and jabs ofdistortion and noise. I'm desperately trying to say more about thisalbum... but all I can think about is how bad it was. It really had noredeeming qualities whatsoever. Repetitive, dull, done before, donebetter... this album runs the gamut of musical crimes. Maybe it'd beworthwhile if you've heard Slepcy on vinyl and wanted a collection onCD - but otherwise, stay far, far away from this abortion. -
