Principles Of Flight - Smash EP After the critically acclaimed second album Chaos Opera by PoF released on the honorable SA record label Timecode Records in 2009, PoF is back with a planned series of digital EP’s (so I have read) to please the grease of nighttime lullabies wanting some glitch-techno inspired PsyTrance with balls of mechanical steel and a heart of organic chaos… The EP starts out with the title track named Smash (T1), which is a pretty suiting description for PoF’s latest tracks/sound because of their smashing attitude and raw power with a beautiful flower. The Smash track begins with ambience and melodic mystery to catch your curiosity about what’s to happen in the land of strangeness, building the suspension for your pleasure. As the beat gathers the glitch rises to wider horizons and extreme beat manifestations starts to roll in heavy manners. This track has such lovely and bouncy beats that it might make you cum right there on the mental dancefloor. The vibe is creepy with thumping basslines scraping off scarecrows and other slime infested creatures. Effects are beautifully arranged making one smile as it was sunshine in the ash of technodomes. The story telling is what we are used to with the creations of PoF, adventures, interesting and extremely exhilarating with jumping steps in loony places deep within your state of loco. ‘Oh what fun it is to run along the sounds of these smashers of thrashers. And when the welcoming fairytale break comes along it makes time seem distant and forgettable as the melodies gather for a last stand in chaotic dramatizing of one’s staggering and insane dance. Thumping basslines, did I mention this track has an awesome thumping bassline just thumping your wit away to different strays!?! Next up is the Bubble Up (T2) track which got some crazy voice manipulations of a human being trying to sound like an energetic alien horse who is neighing, snorting, grunting, blowing and maybe even snickering in the outer cosmos of deranged tales inside bubbling glitches and farting festers. The bassline is more FullOn directed with stronger go and punchier knobs. As the break enters a mocking organ play that starts to stagger the melody to expand the thought about what is to happen as the lionized horse like sounds returns to bubble it Up in blubbering glitches and static echinoid sounds from the underground. Recommendation: I strongly suggest that if you want some dancefloor killers to die your audience so much they will be screaming for more madness, this digital glitch (yes, I’ve mentioned glitch a lot, but it is!!) EP is for you and your nighttime creatures of alluring fun and dance in trance.
