*REVIEWS* 

1. Review by MrFonktrain (December 19th, 2002)


"Specular Hallucination" is a real evil one that possibly makes you afraid of the dark



But "Love Sex Dynamite" is probably the happiest and driving techno track I have ever heard. Probably sampling Chic - I want your love (or something similar) this crazy masterpiece brings together hard, driving techno percussions, a devastating bass and the funky feeling of Studio 54 through a filter and loop-orgy in the tradition of Thomas Bangalter. Really sounds like disco on too much speed... but it's the best stuff I've ever had up my nose and my ears! ;)

2. Review (I wrote this) by owennoreen (August 18th, 2012)


This is one of my all-time favorite albums and I am so proud to own this on amazing vinyl that has a multicolored plastic print on top and along with a pretty pink sleeve, for it is definitely one of my most prized and cherished possessions. Chester Beatty and DJ Shufflemaster truly deliver a sensual, psychedelic, and mind-blowing performance on "Specular Hallucination" that should not be missed.

The album starts off with the self-titled track, Specular Hallucination, it begins with these smooth, well-constructed techno beats and even more beats that yet fit perfectly and eventually it all comes together with a crazy, wavy synth and ghostly, indiscernible vocals that truly set the haunting mood and three minutes into the song, comes along another ghastly synth that sounds like the drugs someone slipped you are starting to take effect, only this time, it comes back with vengeance.

The 2nd track, "Love Sex Dynamite" begins with the rhythm and sound quickly speeding up from the bottom, as it gets louder and louder and more clearer, the wave of sound becoming more dense and thick as it filters through your ears. Every now and then, the rhythm and melody suddenly shifts and changes with a beautiful driving synth and before you know it, you are engulfed in an psychedelic orgy of extraordinary sound and an unbelievable bass that is literally just to die for.

The third and final track "Auditory Hallucination" is by far one of the best Shufflemaster tracks I have ever heard. It begins with a combo of classic, unforgettable (and in a way, very evil) beats and more incomprehensible vocals that soon drastically undergo vicissitude and soon enough, they increase the tension of the song by adding marvelous hi-hats that are right on cue with the beats. "Auditory Hallucination" is just simply one of those songs where the rhythm and the sound gets under your skin, pulsates and goes into the core of your inner psyche, travels up to your brain and makes you want to lose control and start dancing.

An Utter Masterpiece.
Hands Down.

Mugon - Untitled (1997) [E-COM 015]

[A1] - Untitled (4:36)

[B1] - Untitled (5:56)

Ok now, let's try to reason out things for a second. If my logical approach was to implement the act of dancing as the fundamental constitutional principle of techno music, then no fundamental analysis of this release is required. The necessary inference would be that Mugon's prodigiously titled EP, "Untitled", does just that.

I'll refrain myself from any further eloquence, and come out with it: along with Umek's "AB008" and "Catapresan", Inigo Kennedy's "On The Move", Jeff Mills' "Berlin/Late Night" EPs, this is arguably the hardest thing with the 'techno' tag to have ever tore a hole through the earth's atmosphere and hit the shelves in record stores.

It would be a mind enhancing undertaking for me to try and explain why, how and where. But it's an inane idea, I'll leave pseudoscience to mr. Hawking. Two cuts delivering solid testosterone in your face at point blank range like you never wanted to imagine. The beats (need I emphasize their tremendous prepotence?) are obscene, and leave you with visible marks of maltreatment, while the embarrassingly ridiculous synths perforate stab holes unlike any other I've heard with the exception of Regis' Translation and the epochal Lanicor.

From me to you, on a strictly need to know basis: if you want to witness your crowd torn between heavenly dancing and running headless due to sudden lacerations in the pavement, avoiding a plunge into the infernal abyss, then this is the piece of vinyl you have been looking for but weren't aware of it until I told you.

Now don't you dare going around saying I never let you in on anything more than crumbs off my table. If you are dissatisfied with your copy, you are free to lodge a complaint with our super intendant, and request a pecuniary injury. Naturally, only after you pass your copy along. - Review by maroko, from discogs.com

Joker - Swallowed Whole Promo. (Dark Soulless Ambient, Dead Anti-Music, Noise)

"They are at it again...."

This is a little promo for an album that I've been working on for quite sometime. An album that I would like to say has the most cheerful and joyful music I've ever heard but this is not the truth. This album has some of the warped and darkest music I've ever heard in my life. I know that may sound strange coming from the person who created it, but I am not trying to lie. But truthfully, the entire thing just has this loathsome vibe to it, like the entire album has some curse hanging over itself. You just can't seem to shake the music, the imagery, the entire overall experience and warped atmosphere from your mind once you endure the whole thing from beginning to end.

Which if I may, I'd like to recommend this album to be listened either by yourself or with some friends (who hopefully are into this music as of you) with all the lights turned off and the blinds shut unless you want to listen to it in a very unfitting setting and atmosphere as of outside with the sun shinning and the birds chirping and also with children laughing in the background behind the fence in your backyard. Do you even realize what kind of picture I am trying to paint of how dark and twisted I think of this album I've made? In my opinion, it's sort of the ultimate music (however this may be argued or overruled.) to end your life to or to conjure up some sort of entity that is entirely evil to the core such as a demonic spirit or something else that isn't even from the likes of hell.
