Review:

We’re on an express elevator to hell… Going down!

After waiting for more than a year since last year’s ambient compilation, the new Schlabbaduerst offspring is finally ready… And this time it’s 100% hard-core night music… D-Dave has carefully selected a bunch of tracks from his deranged Uppsala mates – and the track list looks impressive as always… With four new Battle Of The Future Buddhas tracks, this is as close as we’ll come to a third BOTFB-album for now… Oh goody! Alright, enough with the chit-chat – I can’t wait to dig into this… Let the freak flag fly!

Let me take you thru the tracks…

#01: Battle Of The Future Buddhas – Amor & Psyche [146 BPM]
“I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass – and I’m all out of bubblegum!â€â€¦ D-Dave kicks things off on this deep, wobbly forest anthem… This is hardcore night-time music – just as you’d expect – with haunting arpeggio melodies and sick, frantic pads… A monstrous track – designed to fuck you up… I love it!

#02: Ka-Sol – Fucked Up [145 BPM]
Blimey! Christer ‘Lulle’ Lundström blew everybody away with his monumental track on the Suntrip Records compilation Apsara released a couple of months ago… And I’m happy to say, that Lulle stays on the same path here… Oh yes – this is equally raw, distorted, frenzied night-music from the deepest forests of Uppsala… The twirling acid-lines, the pounding bassline, the haunting synth lines – all so ultra-dark and über-trippy… Fucked up indeed! Smashing track!

#03: Battle Of The Future Buddhas – AM Radio [146 BPM]
“We’re on an express elevator to hell… Going down!†More no-questions-asked-full-power from the get-go here… D-Dave is a relentless nihilist that doesn’t waste time with long, boring intros… The radio-theme is expressed through various well-fitting voice-samples adding to the overall trippyness of this tune…Add a trademark demented Schlabb-melody, and you’ve got a winner…

#04: Ka-Sol – Whalebacktrack [145 BPM]
Another intense track by Lulle… This time with spacy electro bits and pieces – kinda industrial, but still drenched in psychedelia… The demented synth-melody here is constantly evolving, seeking new directions… The synths go hand on hand with the eerie FX creating a truly haunting atmosphere… As always with KAsolarium – this is a HUGE track – a big wall of sound, designed to scare the living shit out of you! Yeah, this is one scary ass ride on the back of a whale… So dreadful it’ll make you sick to your stomach… Brilliant!

#05: Battle Of The Future Buddhas – Natt [148 BPM]
Well, if it wasn’t night already, it definitely is now… This is one of the fastest tracks here – galloping away at an incredible 148 beats per minute… The bassline is blunt and downright mean – kicking up some dust alongside another batch of haunting, freaky melodies… Hard-core night music to be played during the darkest hours of the natt… What the hell is that sample in the lead anyway? – Some bizarre cut-up, spooky voice sample… What ever the hell it is, it freaks me out… And we all like getting scared, don’t we?

#06: Battle Of The Future Buddhas – Sick Circus [147 BPM]
“What do you see when you’re in the dark and the daemons come?â€â€¦ As the title suggests, this is another stroll down Bizarro Street somewhere in Uppsala… Though this is also a fast-paced, darkish track the bassline isn’t as shredding here – but the surrounding FX take care of that… An array of weird, twisted, haunting FX guaranteed to send shock-waves through any trance-floor… This is like the soundtrack to some perverted clown porn movie… Sick circus indeed! Maybe even a little too sick for my taste… Naaaah – it’s still miles above the vast pool of generic music out there… But be careful out there – this shit is intense!

#07: Exakt Abstrakt – Hellraiser [145 BPM]
Exakt Abstrack is Lulle from Ka-SoL hiding under another one of his aliases… And he’s raising hell here… Seriously, this is horror-trance – guaranteed to scare the living shit out of you… An impressive rhythm-section is messing with your emotions on many levels – whilst the trippyness is kept intact by the squelching sequences of synth-galore… So fucking dark, yet so melodic at the same time… A melodic full-on nightmare of sound and colour… Fuck me, this is AWESOME!

#08: Ridderna Av Döda Hundens Kyrka – Jetta Power [145 BPM]
Fucking aye – it’s time for the oddball track… By the aptly named ‘Knights Of The Dead Dog’s Church’… Apparently some of these sounds were recorded from Marchaos’ VW Jetta – fan, doors, engine, radio, vipers + the knights themselves screaming like madmen… Add some Skinny Puppy samples and industrial mayhem, and you’ve got Jetta Power! A very, very experimental track – truly underground – just like we’ve come to love it from Schlabbaduerst… Sick shit! I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but a part of this gets too hectic for my taste – for a while there its pure industrial noise… There are some very interesting elements here though – I’ll give the freaks that much… ;o)

#09: Duck Off – Mozart Firefox [150 BPM]
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a fist stamping on a human face - forever!†Duck Off is Dj Ifan and Procs - the first non-Uppsala artists ever to be included on a Schlab compilation… What an honour – but if anyone can pull it off, it’s them… I’m especially impressed by the works of Mikael ’Procs’ Stegman and can’t wait for his upcoming album on Trishula Records… Anyway, this is one hell of a track – the fastest here… Insanely fast, pumping away at an incredible speed… As the title suggests, this track incorporates the structure of classical music into a frenzied mayhem of forest trance… This is the shiznitz – true psychedelic trance in its most underground form… I mean – just check out the “Fly me to the moon†surprise ending… Amazing! 100% Shroomadelic… A monstrous track!

Sweet mother of Ghandi – this is the sickest, most repulsive, hardcore bastard-child ever to come out of Sweden… Seriously, words don’t do this justice – this is a powerhouse of a compilation… Packed to the rim with hard-hitting, gut-wrenching monumental tracks… It’s doesn’t get any more underground than this – phew, what a ride!

This is by far the most intensive compilation I’ve heard all year… And I can’t really imagine what can top it… The Schlabbaduerst crew have their very own, unique take on psychedelic trance and IMO this is the best they’ve released so far – and that’s really something, ‘cause these guys have released some absolute corkers!

Anyone into darkish, deep, demented night music straight from the underground does not want to be without this compilation. So do yourself a favour – go to: http://listen.to/Schlab now and order this baby – satisfaction guaranteed… Enjoy!

hah! excellent. i'm not into night music very much; but i've always liked the Buddhas' output and most of Schlabb's too; good to see they're back and on form. the funny thing is if you've ever met Dave you'll know that he looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth ;)
