Sacred Rhythm US Vinilo y CD

Review: When launching Jeff Thompson and co-producer Eqwel's Amalgamated Metals series of seven-inch singles earlier in the year, Sacred Rhythm chief Joaquin 'Joe' Clausell warned that a number of releases would be needed to, in his words, "harden the strongest solder possible to resist the corrosive nature of tasteless dance music". Release number two is certainly sturdily soldered, with A-side 'Gallium' delivering a forthright blend of galloping, metallic drum hits, hissing cymbals and spooky, otherworldly synth sounds. 'Iron Ferrum' is strikingly different, with distant-sounding metallic noises disappearing underneath a thick, beat-free coat of bubbly acid lines and immersive ambient chords.
