2ND GEN, "IRONY IS"
The irony is that Panacea has already done releases as Disorder 2nd Gen! Just kidding really, but this disc isn't that far off. The electronic unlubricated sandpaper screams through the speakers as if something Panacea would have been attempting in the older days with much different gear. Behind the knobs of 2nd Gen lies a young British-residing Indian chap, Wajid Yaseen, whose former projects included Fun-da-mental. On this disc, his debut as 2nd Gen are appearances by Techno Animal and rapper Dälek as well as some Mark E. Smith-like spoken word of his own (I'm guessing), but I would much rather prefer the music with a different lead instrument than the voice. Sure, he does seem a little angry and he's got a lot to say, but that's where sleeve notes and liner notes come in quite handy! Seriously I love the music on this disc and intend to carry it with me in those cases where I need to let some aggression out.
