Gothtronic "the seed" lucid sketchmaster album review
In an industrial suburban area different cultures come together on squares with graffiti on the walls while factory smoke is darkening the sky. This makes a mix of new wave orientated industrial with rap. This music reminds me of the early nineties where acts such as Beatnigs, Consolidated, and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy gained popularity. The seed starts with a dark mostly instrumental track with industrial influences like Front Line Assembly where slowly some hiphop influences take over. 'The Seeds of Sketch', 'Ultimate Vs', 'Redbone Stepping', and 'Equipment' are purely rap tracks with a dark threatening atmosphere in which I recognize some Spectre influences, a very dark ....New York.. ..act. Then the atmosphere changes drastically into a more dark and alienating atmosphere with slow melodies and pitched and stretched delirious sounding vocals in 'God Tell Me' featuring Kontour. Now industrial influences come to the foreground again in this 14 minute trip. Shape shifting sounds curling in slow motion fragmental bliss like the ground is moving beneath your feet. 'Forbidden Fruit' offers some experimental hip hop beats with fluxing sound fragments in a dark atmosphere where bass grows on a swinging beat. With these ingredients of industrial sounds and dark hip hop beats this CD gets to its end making this release easy to divide in two parts of its two main influences. 'Crazy Baitch' is a neurotically sounding track with freaky vocals and nervous beats. 'Jesus Saves' of course has TV preacher samples like Ministry and Cassandra Complex. Firstly I was wondering if the Seed wasn't a re-release because of the dated sound but surprisingly this is their 2008 debut album.

A real suprise from Some Bizzare Records. Although this came out in the summer, it's not too late to pick up a copy of the new Lucid Sketchmaster and be blown away by a combination of beats, rap, hip hop, noise, and industrial that blends together for one of the coolest new sounds we've heard in ages! The CD is a bit on the pricy side but worth every penny! Don't miss out!..
