Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After several years, Eat Static have returned with a proper album of tough beats, innovative sounds and yes, alien weirdness. De-Classified will excite longtime fans, sounding closest to their classic Impact LP. From the start, we're prowling in familiar territory -- b-movie sci-fi samples swimming around plasmic funk, cosmic flights, tripped-out synth washes and buzzing riff attacks.
Starter "Invasion" touches down in breakbeat territory while "Sucker Unit" launches into a metronomic space groove and "Trantaloid" digs into classic extraterrestrial belches and burps. The fun doesn't let up as Joie Hinton and Merv Pepler bust into pulsing madness with "Deadly Amphibian" and the muscular trance of "Sin-Quest." Two-step action propels the excellent "Tractor Beam," it's drum `n' bass rhythms pulling the mind into a flashing vortex of undulating colors while the languid tribalism of "Pachama" and the ambient groove of the title track float you into zero gravity.
While De-Classified does not top Impact, it's still a worthy successor and proof positive that one of the world's most inventive electronic acts are back in fine form. It feels good to have the boys from Somerset once again blasting static through the matrix.
