power pill fist reviews (grave015)
When was the last time you heard a Missle Command solo? Better yet - a combination of glitched samples from Montezuma's Revenge? You haven't - no, you haven't. Really - why the fuck do you want to lie about this? Enter: PowerPillFist - he who rocks the party, rocks the bo-dy.. . . in bits of eight. Yes - recorded and manipulated entirely on an Atari 2600 console - PowerPillFist (aka "mr. ken" of Black Moth Super Rainbow bass-in-yr-face fame) has cast a beast of desire through thirteen tracks of bleep, blip & doom! The fact that he is giving away "Mashed Potato Legs" on his site is a fucking godsend, for this is the radio single if there ever was one. Should you have room in the collection between your quasi-limited Wolf Eyes 12"'s and boyarm's Il Programma Di Religione comp - Extra Life will make friends in time zero. Well - you could be a real fan and have a spot right beside last years (way out of print) 15-minute opus Chinese Guy With a Witch Axe 3" - the mashed up state of PPF and BMSR in unison that joined the 2600 and additional synth. Dry your eyes you belated believer - this wagon is ready for you to hop on. One may have summed it up best on the PPF site: "smile bending reel to reel doom for beautiful fucked up little kids...". Indeed we bleed. Oh*bonus* - cover art of the year!
Wow I’m stunned. Composed and manipulated completely on an Atari 2600 by the bassist of Black Moth Super Rainbow, “Extra Life” is the perfect platform for the videogame generation. It’s chaotic and derived exclusively through the videogame system that started it all. Loud, distorted tones smash atoms in your inner ear giving you almost familiar tastes of the past beautiful games that you dared your neighbor to. As far as noise goes this is one of the best records to pass through my stereo, Autechre be damned.
