Review by: Alex Deller
A right mish-mash of attention deficit noisiness on this reissue disc: 15 tracks of tumbledown stuff that hints at screamo, post-punk, no-wave and whatever else might make you feel like your brain’s had a wire wool rubdown. Employing wobbly toy keyboard lurches means certain tracks fall somewhere between The Locust and Subpoena The Past while others (for example, the rather neat-o ‘Ultimissima’) ease up on the Casio attack and sound more like Skull Kontrol or Blonde Redhead circa ‘Fake Can Be Just As Good’. While I’d hesitate to say that each and every track on this is worthy of your attention (the last three at least seem to have been plonked on purely to wind up the migraine-prone…) there’s plenty of wheat amid the chaff, particularly if you’re fond of the similarly hyperactive and similarly Italian stuff to be found catapulting itself across the RobotRadio roster.
