Cybernetic:Fuckheadz
Cybernetic:Fuckheadz is the bastard step-child of Raoul Rotation ofNoisex and Patrick Stevens of Sona Eact?/Hypnoskull notoriety. Take theharshest elements of both: Noisex's hardcore techno stylings, andHypnoskull's heavily distorted, at times undanceable, beats, and addliberal amounts of drum n' bass, and you have the most fucked up dnbrecord of the year—and it's not even on the Hands label, imagine that.
While most Hands bands tend to get lost among each other and feelsomewhat homogenous (Winterkalt? excluded), Cybernetic:Fuckheadzmanages to stay fresh, thanks to the seemingly never ending assault ofthis album. It lets up only for a vocal sample here or there, andpounds away for fifteen tracks at nearly seventy minutes. In a genreperilously on the edge of staleness, if not already over it,Cybernetic:Fuckheadz has found a way to keep it interesting, as thebeats press on, yet varying the tempo and style on each track, thelevels of surface noise and distortion constantly fluctuating, and themore typical techno sounds, when they do appear, become so altered asto be barely recognizable and always keep you interested. Every beat,every noise is important and clearly discernable. Unlike some similarprojects, you don't gloss over anything because you've heard it before.This is industrial strength techno as it always should have been. Tothink anything else is to be stuck somewhere in the mid-nineties.
