picked this cd up this year at the symbiosis gathering this year and, made for nice ride home, pitch black styles remind that of the early Sofa Surfers sound, which is some highly dubbed out material, Delays and reverb and nice reggae sound are going all over the place with some nice deep bass to hold it all together!! probally my favorite track is that of 1,000 mile drift, the vocals add to the song, as if there were none it wouldnt be that great, reminds me of jim morrison doing the vocals!! another great one is the bird soul song, starts out real slow then at the end all of a sudden a d&B track all dub style!! i highly reccomend putting this release at the top of your list perfect for the sunny afternoon, or even for the night as this is future depth in quality!! - Chlorophil , posted 10/25/07 |

On Monday 29th October the new album by Pitch Black, "Rude Mechanicals" comes out in Europe and America on Dubmission Records through Arabesque Distribution and iTunes, Beatport et al. Their fourth and possibly their best album so far, “Rude Mechanicals” embraces all that is good about dance music and electronica and spices it up with the trademark Pitch Black blend of echoes, delays and deep, fat basslines. Mike and Paddy have always been avowed fans of music in general (as opposed to any one style in particular), and it certainly shows here: the album kicks off with the lush “South of the Line” before dubbing it out, year 3000 style, with “1000 Mile Drift”. “Sonic Colonic” kicks the tempo up a gear as the only real four-to-the-floor stomper on the album. “Bird Soul” reminds one that Paddy Free spent years producing Salmonella Dub, as it takes their guitar driven drum and bass style and wraps it in an ambient dub envelope. “Harmonia” is an exquisite piece of electronica, reminiscent of Speedy J or Black Dog. It is followed by “Rude Mechanicals”, which marks a departure from the norm for the boys, featuring rapper KP from the infamous Sunshine Soundsystem, who waxes lyrical about the destruction being wrought on the planet by our environmental ignorance and general greed. “Fragile Ladders” provides some much needed breathing space before “Please Leave Quietly” destroys what is left of the bass speakers! Rude Mechanicals is a genre hopping excursion in sound, heaving with warm basslines and complex rhythm’s, topped up by haunting melodies and, for a change, cutting social commentary. To adapt a previous quote about them, this album is like “Underworld meets King Tubby”, in all the best ways possible …………………………………. But don't just take my word for it - there is a crudely mixed (sorry!) 4 track sampler to download from download.yousendit.com/F53C95BD6B7A2170 (please feel free to post this track somewhere more permanent if you like - not exactly as tech literate as I would like to be!) or you can watch the video for the first single in NZ at www.youtube.com/watch Plus the rest of the tracks are previewable in the Beatport player on their website - www.pitchblack.co.nz. - crazy , posted 10/25/07 |
