Featuring artists from Ireland, England, America, Australia, Japan and Russia, "Come Back - Volume 1" opens our series of short-run compilations with a taut mix of mangled breaks, rhythmic noise, comedy speedcore, and broken electronics: savage enough to slay a minotaur, yet intricate enough to perform keyhole surgery on a palmtop.

Opening the proceedings is Irish electronica boffin Spectac's murky stomper "Repetonal", followed by Australian Xian's Eddy Grant/Twisted Sister pile-up "Epileptic Avenue". Back to Ireland next, with the first of 2 ragga-jungle expeditions in Lakker's "Murder-Aah". Herv follows with gabber, acid and '93 hardcore MCs, while Amoebazoid's molten "Defekt" is anything but defective. From the States, Solypsis blasts the listener with skidding, thudding abrasion, before the fearsome Dj Floorclearer joyrides through council estates in a stolen wheelie bin. Japan via Russia next, as Hard-off and Dj 8088 cross-breed tetris, Russian pop-music aaaand Elton John. Again to Australia for Dj Rainbow Ejaculation's abreviated epic "Luke's Dilemma", and Dublin's Sausage Forest mince out a giddy cocktail würst with their track "Clown Schlepp". From Galway, newcomer Skell gives us our second ragga-jungle outing with the bass-laden "Recoil" and second from the end, Sunken Foal's "The Ice is Gonna Break" plays with banjos, tumbling breaks and broken dub while finally The Last Sound's live juggernaut "Slavetrain" brings things to a pumelling conclusion.

Review #1

13 track compilation of new and upcoming electronic artists from ireland, england, america, australia, russia and japan, released by the irish based label go away recordings, its quite simply one of the strongest compilations of new underground electronica and breakcore you will hear all year, features spectac, xian, lakker, herv, amoebazoid, solypsis, dj floorcleaner, dj 8088 hard off, dj rainbow ejaculation, sausage forest, skell, sunken foal and the last sound, the collection concentrates on the heavy hitting disjointed sounds of breakcore and a slightly more in your face side of electronica so late night headphone listeners beware, this collection wont put you to sleep at night but it sure as hell will wake you up in the morning, hats off to all involved.

We have a breakcore / mashup / extreme electronics compilation just in on Go Away Recordings. 'Come Back. Volume 1' features Spectac, Xian, Lakker, Herv, Amoebazoid, Solypsis, DJ Floorclearer, DJ Rainbow Ejaculation and Sausage Forest which is the funniest artist name I've heard in ages. Its a huge cut 'n' paste samplefest mashing up Eddie Grant, Bounty Killer, heavy metal riffs, the Tetris theme etc with pummeling industrial gabba beats and spliced amens. Much of it is dark but there's a fair few less serious moments on there to that will appeal to those of you who are into the Wrong Music, Death$ucker and Adaadat stuff. There's even a sample from Button Moon in there. Totally crackers and very entertaining. Norman Records

It's all in good fun, but the PA might not survive. Mashup, hardcore, breakcore, Go Away Recordings's "Come Back" compilation gather 13 tracks which, with a few expections, are taylored for the most insane of dancefloors. Definitely fitting with what Shitmat and Wrong Music have been doing lately, the whole thing is humoristic, exxagerated, and highly energetic. A nice project, compact and going to the point.

Perhaps it's funny: Go Away presents Come Back, but it's also a bit silly. None of the thirteen names mean anything to me, but then I am not too well informed about the crazy breakcore scene. Perhaps my mistake. All the pieces here are simply to be classified as 'crazy' beat stuff. Over the top rhythms, over the top samples. Extreme break-beats, extreme breakcore. Gabber (that only true innovation in music from The Netherlands) is never far away. Deceiving moments of quietness are by Amoebazoid or the somewhat minimal and dubby piece by The Last Sound, before it explodes into a mean slab of drone noise with rhythms underneath. All the others provide mayhem. Try this right before you go to sleep and you have a rather uncomfortable night. But I must admit it's also a shot of adrenaline that will surely enlighten you and can work refreshing. Also included are Spectac, Xian, Lakker, Herv, Solypsis, DJ Floorclearer, DJ 808/Hard Off, DJ Rainbow Ejaculation, Sausage Forest, Skell and Sunken Foal. Not for the weak of heart. Vital Weekly

Review #5

Go Away Recordings: a simply ghastly name for a label, yet one that is oddly fitting. Most people, upon slipping this verminous little noisemaker into the cd player, will comply instantly with that instruction. A lot of the stuff on here is the kind of monstrously unattractive ballistic breakbeat mashup carry-on that Kid 606 was thrusting in our flinching faces circa The Action-Packed Mentallist Brings You the Fucking Jams. Basically, you can either palate this stuff or you can't. It's a bit like getting into a fistfight in school when you were a kid – not very pleasant at the time, and you'll probably end up with a bloody nose, but you may feel oddly exhilarated afterwards. I'll tell you what, though: it's just good to know that an Irish label is putting out this kind of agreeable unpleasantness.
