The Slovak Urbsounds deals with extreme rhythmic scenarios, such as those of its manager Michal Lichy, in circulation since 1996 with the Urban Failure project and a spiky electronics, which starts from labyrinthine sequences and hc techno patterns, deconstructed in paintings that tend to informal and to a noise away from industrial clichés. Also in the new album we are witnessing a cold and hypnotic “mechanical ballet” that evokes artificial intelligences, future dystopian and collapsing cybernetic societies, with acoustic constructions wisely intricate and also quite elegant, as well as sometimes darkly vigorous.
The edition is in bright red vinyl, in contrast to the “green frog” of the 10 “set up by DJ Balli in league with Amphibian.This is, as usual, a solid and pressing breakbeat in ironical conceptual key.
Well-known experiments on electricity carried out in the eighteenth century by Luigi Galvani on dissected batraches Balli takes revenge on the scientist with a sequence of metaphorical “kicks in the ass” in the form of neurotic rhythmic assaults hc gabber, dressed with croaking treaties of frogs and mocking commentaries melodici of synthetic keyboards. (7/8) Vittore Baroni
limited edition of 292 transparent red vinyl LP.

Gabber ~ Original Italian version La slovacca Urbsounds si occupa di scenari ritmici estremi, come quelli del suo gestore Michal Lichy, in circolazione dal 1996 col progetto Urban Failure e un’elettronica spigolosa, che parte da labirintiche sequenze e pattern hc techno, destrutturati in quadri tendenti all’informale e ad un rumorismo distante dai cliché industrial. Anche nel nuovo album si assiste ad un freddo e ipnotico “balletto meccanico” che evoca intelligenze artificiali, futuri distopici e società cibernetiche al collasso, con costruzioni acustiche sapientemente intricate e anche alquanto eleganti, oltre che a tratti tetramente vigorose. L’edizione è in vinile rosso vivo, in contrasto col “verde rana” del 10″ allestito da DJ Balli in combutta con Amphibian. Trattasi, come di consueto, di solido e incalzante breakbeat in ironica chiave concettuale. Tema del lavoro sono stavolta i noti esperimenti sull’elettricità condotti nel Settecento da Luigi Galvani su batraci dissezionati. Balli si prende la rivincita sullo scienziato con una sequela di metaforici “calci nel sedere” in forma di nevrotiche aggressioni ritmiche hc gabber, condite con gracidii trattati di rane e beffardi commentini melodici di tastiere sintetiche.
