专辑简介
Dismantled, the brainchild of one Gary Zon, is one of those elektro artists that seems to be perpetually on the verge of something major. Despite achieving critical acclaim on previous outings, Dismantled has never quite battled to the forefront of the scene. Perhaps that will all change with the release of the upcoming Standard Issue; this precursor EP should give us some insight. The EP contains a full 10 tracks. There are 3 mixes of the title track, 4 of "The Swarm" from Post-Nuclear, original songs "War Dream" and "The Blind", and a humorous cover of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up".
The EP leads off with the original version of "Breed to Death" and you could argue that it's also the best... it's definitely the most danceable. The lyrics of this song are not only catchy but they reveal a true sense of anxiety toward people in his everyday life. The "Xian feed Antkow Remix" cranks the pace up but stays in a similar vein to the original. Psyclon 9 twists the vox a lot adding even more rage, yet the synthpop confections layered on top keep things oddly light and infectiously groovy. Of the 4 different interpretations of "The Swarm", Gary's own "Easy to Swallow" version is likely the most accessible and clubby. The Haujobb totally dismantles the track; it's impressive in it's brutal simplicity stripping the vocals down to the basic repetition of the phrase "on and off" backed by a mega-distorted machine assault. Rudy of :wumpscut: slows down his mix, often allowing Zon's vocals to stand out in front, adding in some background snarls of his own and tossing in a new sample or 2 here and there. Daedal's version is chaotic shifting from calm minimalism to a hyper-fast breakbeat through the chorus. New track "The Blind" is basic 4-on-the-floor EBM, but "War Dream" is a single in its own right with its clever percussion and sly chorus. What industrial EP is complete without a steamy Paula Abdul cover? Well nearly all of them I suppose but this rocks pretty well. Funny stuff.
If this teaser EP is any indication, Gary has stepped it up and is ready to move on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky. You'll be anxious to hear the album after taking this in.
