Title Description:
The busy bee Niko Skorpio is working on two albums at the same time, one is a solo CD and one is by a band called Reptiljan. The four tracks on this 7" "just happened" while working on those two albums. The title piece is a distorted funk piece with a computer voice which gradually fades over into noise. Downsampling sounds is the basic idea for Snap Crackle Pope In The Ear Tunnel Of Love and results into a strange, alienated piece of music. Bassfinder General is a place where breakbeats and grindcore meet - I had to check: but I played it really at 33 rpm and it's still sounds five times too fast. As a counterpoint, Kafka Dreams is almost dubby, with a female vocal somewhere. Strangely fucked up computer cum techno music in four different directions - that makes a nice EP.
