Headscan's sound draws about equally from standard
EBM/electro-industrial (a la a lot of the stuff
Metropolis Records puts out - though this is
Artoffact/Storming the Base, not Metropolis, I cite
them merely as strong example) and psytrance/goa).
It's almost as though a minimalist psytrance skeleton
was wrapped with the trad EBM flavorings. For me it's
the psytrance that makes Headscan as listenable as it
is. So far as its electro-industrial side goes, it's
fairly straightforward and unexceptional stuff, but
the strong psyche core goes a long way toward
elevating this above what it otherwise might have
been, pushing it in the direction of Juno Reactor,
though make no mistake, JR is superior. So,
goa-industrial, or whatever you want to call it, is
what Headscan uses to step aside just a little from
the crowd. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
