About this item

'Post apocalyptical, auditory machine-dirge signalling the shift in solar winds and featuring, amongst others Manchester finest hardware mangler, Ste Spandex. Cerberus Future Technologies is a new label featuring cosmic vibrations, interstellar energy and Orgonite-fuelled sonic communications beamed straight outta Levenshulme, MCR.' This, their second compilation (after the first sold out in days) is another treasure of a release. The cassette tape features 17 tracks from the galactic creative, mixed via analogue wizardry by starship commander Ste Spandex. Alongside this, purchase of the tape allows digital downloads to some of the tracks featured on the cassette as individual files - perfect for those DJs wishing to harness Cerberus' alien voodoo in their DJ sets. The second volume of this essential series hints at a more dancefloor focussed, galactically tuned set; a stark contrast to the bleak, war-torn futurescapes that volume 1 conjured up. Its still completely hardware driven, and pumps and undulates as the crew only just maintain control of their powerful machines. Montauk Boy's "SBD" is an interstellar cruiser of the highest order, flying through the cosmos on a technicoloured highway straight outta F-Zero. Spandex's high octane drum workout, "Now Move Your Feet" should whip up any floor into a salivating frenzy; looping up percussion artefacts into oblivion while drawing us through a grainy, saturated tape fug. Excellent stuff; while another solo effort, "We're All Friends Here" sends us plummeting down a machine-elf occupied wormhole straight into technoid 5D; chattering gremlins and jewelled basketballs our only company. Again, the tape is mixed differently to the digital album, taking us on a more DJ-inspired journey through the tracks but as with the previous release - you get digital streams of the tape too, alongside some of the individual tracks, so you get plenty of angles to attack the tracks! Another amazing collection of music presented in a well thought-out format, the tape suiting the red-hot analogue vibrations much of the firm utilize. Highly recommended and stupendously limited - move quick!
