BASS HIT - PRESSURIZED (NEURODISC) |
| |
"Pressurized," from top-selling artist Bass Hit, kicks
off with the unrelenting pounding of "Breakbeat
Science," a solid, energetic and addictive pummeling
of high energy, loud techno propulsion ... plenty of
acid here. "Get on the Floor" starts with deceptive
subtleness before slamming with some more unapologetic
hard-hittingness. "Raise the Bass" is perhaps less
crushing but still full of vigor, a nice piece of
techno pulse. Get on the "M25 Motorway" if you'd like
a high adrenaline acid injection and stay on for "Hit
the Breaks" if you want to follow-up with a
groove-running beat laced with high potency
infectiousness. "Techno Bass '95" kicks off with some
lush melodies and plunges into a progressive rush of
melodic drive. Busy beats, buzzing texture and hints
at dubbishness pushed to pace up manifest on "Speed of
Sound." "Trax on Wax" backs off the slamming of
earlier tracks but weaves its electronic melodies and
beats together nicely nonetheless. "Sixty-Four"
commences with video-gameyness and crafts an Atari
meets dub union. "India Bass" boasts a wash of gentle
melodies and exotic vocal samples. "Spindizzy" is
acidtrippy and uses injects acid melodies into spartan
surroundings for effect. At last we reach "The Gospel
of Bass," album closer, which gives us a ride that is
dancey but also laid back and chilled. "Pressurized"
is a competent batch of bass compositions that has an
overall flow from start to finish, crafted from a
fairly varied list of tracks.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
