Album Notes & Community Reviews

Jack Dangers pivots his project from abrasive industrial-dance toward heavily sampled, hip-hop-influenced breakbeat on this highly influential third album. The dense collage of obscure vocal snippets, dub basslines, and propulsive drum programming firmly laid the sonic foundations for the impending big beat and trip-hop movements.
