The restless Berlin post punk scene delivers yet another high-class artifact – brought to us by Cincinnati, Ohio specialists Future Shock Recordings – on which they masterfully balance a good deal of dark abysses and atmospheric expanse against an endless succession of concentrated, precise impacts. On one hand, this stuff unmistakably carries the signature of the Berlin scene and groups like Pigeon, Glaas, Clock Of Time, Pretty Hurts, Kalte Hand and Liiek. Yet, i also sense a close kinship to such anarcho-influenced US groups like Kaleidoscope, Straw Man Army and Fantasma, the recent LP of british punks Subdued, Sydney’s Negative Gears… and a bit of Criminal Code maybe? Anyway, this is some first rate shit right here!
