Various | Red Laser Records EP 13
RL54
Tracklist:
Frank Butters - Call Of The Wild
Monster Manctolo mate - from a host of box jammers, old and new.
Frank Butters wastes no time at all, 'The Call Of The Wild' engaging photon tubes with a highly kinetic array of crystalline synth shards, thunderous bass and hyperactive sfx. Synthtastic - nice.
Bob Swans' 'Bodyform4U’ unites the robots with a universal message of togetherness. It’s multiple layers of shuddering arpeggios and star-aligned synths working in unison.
New signing Lone Saxon drops 'Hypersleep' which utilises rich piano chords and a hefty breakbeat, switching up the vibe but keeping things super uplifting “This one reminds us of that innocent period when you could get on the megabus for 50p and score three for a tenner on the dancefloor”.
Finally, 'Webo' sees Franz Scala (with a little help from Il Bosco) return to source, delivering a bona fide slice of maximum balls out MANCTALO chug. With tension-wrought chord progressions, delicious layers of lead melodies and a soaring vocal.
Very strong EP.
