Free Music Review: 10 megaton blast (or music to get the blood pumping)
Hit: 4 Stars
I've gotta' agree with the first two reviews. The Retrosic can be compared to Wumpscut, and this Nightcrawler CD can be compared to the Prodigy. That having been said, The Retrosic are no mere copycats. They may borrow elements of other artists, but their style is their own. Even if you've never heard anything from this CD and even though it's quite different from their previous efforts, it still sounds like The Retrosic. It's got those harsh vocals (which I typically hate in Wumpscut but which, for whatever reason, sound great here), those Retrosic hooks, and just a ton of that amped-up super-charged Retrosic vibe.
When you think about all that energy their music has, it's only natural that something equally bombastic like the Prodigy's Fat of the Land would have some great elements to incorporate. Deliberately or not, the beats in many of Nightcrawler's songs owe a lot to the Prodigy, the breakdowns and buildups in some of the songs follow the same strategy of engagement (compare the Prodigy's Breathe to The Retrosic's Desperate Youth), and the two albums share a number of similar sonic elements. I'd be surprised to learn that The Retrosic didn't listen to the Prodigy a lot when they made this.
In spite of it all, this CD is firmly in the industrial camp and may never be played in a techno/rave venue. It's an highly engaging listen and should make a lot of industrial lovers really happy.
Oh yeah, and the CD has a pretty good .avi video for Desperate Youth.
Nightcrawler Poster
Ten tracks of aggressive sonic mayhem. The album bulldozes its way from start to finish, with each track harder and more forceful than the one before it, sure to obliterate any dance floor with the power of 10,000 nuclear warheads.Dance & DJ Music CDs
