"It's hilarious the amount of poor suckers who visit this page thinking it's some rap artist.



This is nerve-rattling, ear-assaulting POST-PUNK/NOISE-ROCK, suckers! So you'll need to go elsewhere for your rap boy.



But if it's demented noise you're after, then 'The Out Sound' is a stone-cold classic from end to end. Songs like 'Aurora F', 'Here and Now', 'Sung Il-Meat' (my favourite), 'Symbol for Snack' and the punishing 'Kitti Thai Spicy' are like out-of-control train wrecks straight out of hell, full of thick, sludgy bass, white noise and surging dynamics. Then there's the exceptions to that sound - the unnerving sample-based 'Crawl' and the equally creepy 'Lofthouse', plus the irresistible dub-noir atmospherics of 'Coordinate Points'.



A great band, truly unsung. This album is their finest, most cohesive blast of madness, available here for a pittance from the marketplace sellers.



(And by the way, 'Telephone Trouble' isn't track 2 - it's at the end of track 1. So track 2 is 'Aurora F', track 3 is 'Here and Now', track 4 'Crawl' and so on. Also, 'Coordinate Points', which is track 9, is a separate track from 'Kitti Thai Spicy', which is track 10.)"
