Rather than hear what I have to say about the one & only

KING CANNIBAL (Ninja Tune, UK),

I will let people far more important than me do the talking:

The Pittsburgh crew will be heading out to rock at this. Should be fun times. – cutups

One of the few electronic musicians who truly defy comparison, Pittsburgh’s Xanopticon has been steadily and thoroughly annihilating dancefloors since around 2000AD. This fiendish bastard doesn’t hesitate to carve new and horrifying neurological pathways into his victim’s brains with razor-thin sonic shards of unknown alien origin. Will you dance? Or will you peel your obsolete flesh from your fragile, useless body? Reactions are as confounding and troubling as the catalyst. So, dear reader – who would dare toy with such madness? Madmen, of course. On “Alembic”, the latest 12″ pariah from Thac0 Records, 4 of the most talented electronic musicians from across this filthy planet each take a stab at righting the wrong that is a Xanopticon track. Enter first the brave DJ Hidden [Evol Intent, Outbreak, Hymen, Mokum] from the nether lands. He has unearthed Xanopticon’s monstrosity “Symptom” and dragged it back to his northern lair to torture and mutilate. What he has produced simply should not be: a violent, haunting slice of drum n bass with basslines that will collapse your lungs as you gasp for one last breathe. Abelcain [Low Res, Addict] is no stranger to the macabre. He has combined the meatiest morsels from “Stormtower” with grim, unearthly components in his foul cauldron. The resulting concoction is both wondrous and disturbing, crawling further under your skin with each listen. Next, coming up to bat is heavyhitter Duran Duran Duran [Planet Mu, Cock Rock Disco] with what could be the dance hit of the year. Spine-shattering beats light up the night sky with the tattered remains of “Tinw” in a marriage that will invariably end in a bitter divorce. Atomhead [Hangars Liquides, Dyslexic Response] has more aliases than a cold-war era Soviet spy. You may know him as Undacova. Or Erratic. Or 1/2 of Duncan Avoid. Or 1/Nth of xE Phalanx. Or that guy who plucked the last shred of sanity from your fevered grasp with his punishing, throbbing distortion of Xanopticon’s “4 Hit Points”. This tender slice of 12″ perversion is on red vinyl and wrapped in a full-color jacket illustrated by the diabolical Keith Thompson
