Various – American Breakbeat Compilation

Groove

“For years now, the Klangkrieg collective has ensured that in Berlin such lunatics as Panacea can distribute his muddy drum’n’bass or whatever else he has in store among willing skullcaps in the basement, and someone like Merzbow is allowed to get rid of his antitheses to soft music. Klangrieg is responsible for the very special sound and the even more peculiar constellations. They are great at that, and that’s why the compilation of a double CD with stuff that bears the working title “American Breakbeat” is of course extremely successful. Everything is on here that shocks, crosscuts, rumbles, kicks, clangs breakbeat and smacks. Kit Clayton, Matmos, Kid606, Jake Mandell and hundreds of thousands of other acts from the other world, who you may not know yet, but who all do quite well with their confused beard plucking to the beat of various pot lid rattles.
