AMARCORD Vinilo y CD

Review: RECCOMENDED
Full marks for appropriate titles, it's always very enticing to see an EP packed with six different artists when those artists make music that wants to be noticed and differentiated. Here Underground Pacific has delivered a package oozing attitude and personality, but fully committed to the cold-synth wave ethos. Dark, gnarling, filthy, groovy, psychedelic, industrial, and more infectious than most, we challenge anyone to drop anything from this and not feel sexy and twisted.

Definitely one for fans of Manfredas, Kiara Scuro, Optimo and the like, while everything here was conceived in the same sonic womb, it really showcases how much can be done with one sound. The brooding and building chug of 'Soulside Twins', which is halfway between 1AM club weapon and a Bond theme lost at the disco, Alf Champion's electro-fused stepper, the subtly intensifying vibe of 'Manipulation' - exceptional.
